Gophers need some confidence after close losses.
Posted on 25. Feb, 2012 by JF.
Another game against a better team, and the Gophers lost another close game. When there once would have been gasps of horror, there were instead grumbles of inevitability. Losing close games has been become something of the norm for Gopher basketball teams in recent years.

Gophers win in Bloomington, and save their season in the process
Posted on 12. Jan, 2012 by JF.
Sing it with me now: The strange thing about young teams is that they rarely react as expected, and the Gophers are no exception. They couldn’t manage to hold off the Hawkeyes at home, came out flat in a blow out to Purdue. The season was over, the program was in shambles. There were [...]

A Gophers win in Bloomington would make sense in the Bonkers Big Ten
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by JF.
In the bonkers Big Ten, nothing is certain except the chaos. Wisconsin has as many homes losses as Ohio State has total losses. Illinois barely beat the Gophers but then beat the Buckeyes. Seemingly every game, except of course Minnesota’s loss to Purdue or Purdue’s loss to Penn State, has gone down to the wire. Everyone can beat anyone at any time anywhere. No one likes to see the Gophers season slip sliding away, but college basketball junkies can find some solace in at least one team trying to make sense of a mind boggling loss almost every night of the conference season.

B1G Preview: Indiana Hoosiers
Posted on 20. Dec, 2011 by zipsofakron.
Well that was fast. Not even four years ago Indiana was dismantled due to the infractions committed by Kelvin Sampson, which left the program in shambles. The team was in such disarray, in fact, that it won a total of eight conference games over three seasons and had quickly joined Iowa as the Big Ten [...]

Big Ten Tournament Preview: The Bottom Six
Posted on 09. Mar, 2011 by JF.
With Gopher basketball mired in meaningless land with the late season collapse, it will take a miracle, the likes of which has never happened for any team in Minnesota, to make the NCAA tournament. Knowing that the season has spun hopelessly out of control shouldn’t take away from the great basketball that takes place during [...]

Buried in Bloomington: Gophers fall to Indiana 70-67
Posted on 02. Feb, 2011 by zipsofakron.
Pathetic. Ordinarily in recaps I try to stay relatively calm and objective; to review the game without much emotion clouding what I saw and how I interpreted it. Unfortunately, this is one of those times where the only way to cope with the frustration that is spinning in my head is to let loose a [...]

This is the fourth in a series of five preview discussions that include input from 10 of the 11 Big Ten teams. Northwestern was unavailable for [...]

Barn Blurbs just wants to be right
Posted on 28. Sep, 2010 by JF.
Joe Coleman, as you already know, committed to the Gophers last week. The Strib and The Press with quotes, perspective, and a look at who else is out there. Tubby Smith appears to have twitterphobia. Others coaches do not. Don’t hold it against me if I keep changing my predictions regarding the upcoming season. I [...]

It’s a Blowout!: Gophers 81 – Indiana 58
Posted on 21. Feb, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Two days after ripping Wisconsin with the season on the line at Williams Arena, the Gophers once again came back ready to play and dumped the Indiana Hoosiers by 23 points. The Gophers held Indiana to 32% shooting from the field and, perhaps more important, didn’t allow them to get anything going from beyond the [...]

Gophers vs. Indiana: Out for revenge
Posted on 20. Feb, 2010 by JF.
With one tongue wagging push off and an obvious travel, Minnesota’s season fell apart. Verdell Jones, on track to become one of the least likeable player in the Big Ten was giddy, not because his fall away jumper knocked off the Gophers, but because he knew he got away with another one on a day [...]

By the Numbers: Nine to Go
Posted on 04. Feb, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Gophers: 13-8, 4-5 in the Big Ten. Nine games to go. Lost four of their last five. Can things look bleaker? It’s hard not to be discouraged after a season in which such high hopes have disintegrated into an abysmal pool of mediocrity. Results have fallen miles short of expectations, players have walked away from [...]
