Conference losing streak reaches 10 in Purdue blowout
Posted on 09. Jan, 2012 by zipsofakron.
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
Posted on 08. Jan, 2012 by JF.
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 [...]

B1G Preview: Purdue Boilermakers
Posted on 18. Dec, 2011 by JF.
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
Posted on 10. Mar, 2011 by JF.
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 [...]

Gophers survive #8 Purdue 70-67
Posted on 13. Jan, 2011 by zipsofakron.
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 [...]

Welcome to the newest regular segment on From the Barn written by the regular editor turned author. My husband/primary author for this blog suggested that I write occasionally and not just correct his spelling errors. But I can’t write a detailed analysis of each player’s skill set with comparisons to great players in history quite [...]

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 [...]

Game 15 Review: Not too embarassing
Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by JF.
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 [...]

Golden Gophers vs. Purdue Boilermakers 6:00 pm (CST) at Mackey Arena (West Lafayette Indiana) Radio: WCCO 830 AM TV: ESPN College basketball is the most forgiving of all sports. There is not a set number of teams in each conference that advance to the NCAA tournament. One bad game won’t spoil a season. The season [...]
