What can you even say about a loss like last night? Less than two weeks after the Gophers nearly pulled out a thrilling double-overtime victory in Champaign and had us thinking they might actually need to be taken seriously, they were handed 13-point drubbing at the hands of the Purdue Boilermakers, getting run out of [...]

Boilers come to town with Minnesota’s season on the brink

  Thank goodness it has been a mild winter. I don’t ask much from Golden Gopher basketball other than to be a distraction through the coldest months of the year. Now, on January 8th, the season is already in danger of spinning hopelessly out of control. I won’t rehash the home loss to Iowa other [...]

Be mad at Robbie Hummel’s knees, or Satan who created the ACL. Mr. Hummel is mad at them, along with every living and probably a few dead Purdue fans, and the rest of the college basketball world. We were all robbed of what would have been a few fantastic basketball teams made up of, by [...]

Big Ten Tournament Preview: The Top Five

Well, the Gophers sure went out with a whimper. There won’t be any miracle run in the Big Ten Tournament, and there probably won’t be a trip to the NIT either. Post-season basketball is nice and all, but the Gopher season realistically ended when they lost at Indiana, and the team has acted like they were waiting for [...]

The Gophers faced the prospect of starting the conference season a nightmarish 1-4, but on a night when neither JaJuan Johnson or Blake Hoffarber could seemingly miss, Minnesota outlasted Purdue 70-67 and saved their season from spiraling out of control. In the most exciting game since the North Carolina upset (which is looking less and [...]

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 [...]

Game 15 Review: Not too embarassing

Minnesota’s goal going into last night’s game at #4 Purdue was of course to win, and if not win, at least be competitive. That secondary goal was achieved, though the scoreboard may indicate otherwise. The scoreboard is not always a reliable narrator. The 12 point Gopher victory in Iowa City was more of a blow [...]

With the conference season only a week away, we’ll be checking in with bloggers covering the rest of the Big Ten. To tip things off, Pete from The Purdue Basketball Blog answered a few questions. Needless to say, he is a bit optimistic. FTB: Purdue is the lone remaining undefeated team in the Big Ten, [...]
