So this is what a winning streak feels like.

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 [...]

In a game where the Gophers were expected to roll quite easily, the Appalachian State Mountaineers instead hung around until very late in the game before falling short 70-56. In fact, Minnesota and Appy State were tied as late as 4:45 in the second half before the Gophers went on an 18-4 run to close [...]

Posted on 29. Nov, 2011 by JF.
Here we go again it seems. A promising season has been thrown into disarray. A promising career has come to an end. A team captain who had noticeably improved his game will spend the rest of the season on the bench. Again. It always has to be something. But we are a hearty people, the [...]

Posted on 25. Oct, 2011 by JF.
College basketball is a young man’s game.

Gophers stop the bleeding; rout Iowa on the road
Posted on 14. Feb, 2011 by zipsofakron.
Maybe it was Tubby’s post-Illinois tirade that cleared the heads of some players. Maybe the team had a moment of clarity in the aftermath of the first four-game losing streak in the Tubby Smith era. Maybe they were just playing a crappy opponent. In any case, Minnesota came together and flashed a style of dominance not [...]

Consider the second of two exhibition games to be just a practice and the near-upset in last night’s matchup between Minnesota and the Division II powerhouse Winona State becomes a bit easier to swallow. It would be simple enough to look back on the game and pick apart what went wrong, what the Gophers could [...]

It’s A Wrap
Posted on 21. Mar, 2010 by zipsofakron.
We laughed in disbelief, cried at Ed Hightower’s injustices, scratched our heads, threw pillows and even cheered wildly at times, but the roller coaster that was the 2009-10 season mercifully came to an end in a 65-54 loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to the Xavier Musketeers.
