per Rand:
The connections between the Timberwolves and the Gophers men’s basketball team are mounting, and it’s not just because both teams seem to be about the same age. (For the record, the Wolves have five players who are 21 or younger, while Gophers’ big men Elliott Eliason and Mo Walker are both older, at 22).
It starts at the top, with Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders having played for the Gophers while Gophers coach Richard Pitino was an assistant coach at Louisville when Wolves’ center Gorgui Dieng was there. Dieng has helped Gophers freshman Bakary Konate since his arrival on the U of M campus.
