B1G Preview: Wisconsin Badgers
Posted on 26. Dec, 2011 by JF.
It has become something of a running joke in college basketball circles that Bo Ryan could take a team of any 12 players to the NCAA tournament, and that team would lose to an inferior opponent when they get there. Deep NCAA tournament runs have been non-existent during the Bo Ryan era, but don’t doubt [...]

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 [...]

Several questions faced the Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball team as they entered Big Ten conference play. How would they handle the relative increased level of competition? Would they play up to their opponent after playing down so often in the non-conference season? How would the team look with both Al Nolen and Devoe Joseph healthy [...]

Looking back at the non-conference season and forward to the Big Ten
Posted on 26. Dec, 2010 by JF.
The Gophers will enter Big Ten play with an 11-1 record, and will likely enter Big Ten play as the second highest ranked Big Ten team after beating South Dakota State on Christmas Eve Eve. It is obviously a little late for the traditional write-up, thanks to the hectic nature of the holiday season. Instead, [...]

Buzzed! Gophers 68 – Wisconsin 52
Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Well I’ll be….where in the name of Clem Haskins has this team been all season. Intensity, concentration, EXECUTION. If all it takes is a shaved head to win in this business, than maybe Joel Maturi should consider bringing Andre Agassi on board as a consultant. Not that it even comes close to making up for [...]

As long as they beat the Badgers
Posted on 17. Feb, 2010 by JF.
In the darker days of Gopher basketball, and for the last 40 years or so in Gopher football, there was always a saving grace to even the most atrocious season. Beating the Badgers has a way of making up for countless losses and blown opportunities, and can make even the darkest off season tolerable. This [...]

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 [...]

Royce White was officially charged in the missing laptop incident. Still unclear if/when he will join the team. It goes without saying, but as Wisconsin found out there are no easy games in Big Ten play. Iowa goes to Bloomington and mauls Indiana by 15. Really? Michigan State has decided to redesign it’s classic Spartan [...]

On 3/5/09 Barn Blurbs is Westbrooked
Posted on 05. Mar, 2009 by JF.
University of Wisconsin Badgers lose to Minnesota Gophers Bo blames Badger loss on exhaustion. If slow ball is wearing his team down, they really need to hit the tread mill. Badgers burned in The Barn Landry disagrees, and argues that running up a hill has his team in excellent physical condition. Clutch Westbrook leads Gophers [...]
