Regardless of outcome tomorrow. Tourney started in 1998. Previous best seed was #5 in 2005. Only trip to the final was 2010 as #6 seed.

Interesting to note that both the BTN and ESPN power rankings have kept us near the top of the conference. We are still 3rd in the BTN and ESPN has us tied with Bucky for 4th behind NW. We also have more votes in both polls this week. The Gophers are still considered a team with a D that...

Lots of talk/dreaming of bringing Shaka Smart into the barn. If he does take the reins, how well would "havoc" do in a high-major conference? Burke and Michigan showed that high-caliber guards can carve up his D, and there are a lot more Michigans than Akrons in the B1G. So, assuming you can...

Just taking a look at our conference schedule and we seem to have a favorable slate. The top 4 preseason picks (IU, Mich, OSU, MSU) all play each other twice, while we play Michigan (home) and Ohio State (away) only once each. Illinois also misses 2 of these teams, playing Indiana (home) and...

Anyone see stats for the game up anywhere? I don't on ESPN or CBSSports or Gophersports.

Looking at the first few games of the B10 schedule, we will very quickly know if we are for real. 3 of 4 on the road to start and probably 4 of the top 5 teams in the league in our first 5 games. 12/28 - @Wisc 12/31 - @MSU (Is it me or do we seem to play Sparty on New Years Eve every year) 1/4...

This isn't news, but it is pretty much a rule that if we let a team get to 70 we lose. I don't know if Tubby doesn't have the elite scorers he had at Kentucky to make is offense work or if the offense is just a bad system. Either way it is clear that it doesn't do well for who we have. Teams...

I think they had him at number 6 (might have been 5). First of many!

Ignoring off-the-court issues, we've now seen 4 games and are starting to see what the squad looks like. Here are some of my early-season thoughts. 1. Athleticism/Defense. We were the most athletic we've been in a decade last year and we've only improved with the addition of Cobbs, Williams...

Some tweets from Doogie/Myron" Doogie: Hearing news of more ALLEGED BS involving athletes is forthcoming ... are we turning into Iowa North? Then later: Can clarify slightly ... may be just 1 athlete Myron: Police are investigating Royce White as a possible suspect in an on-campus...

This deserves its own thread: :eek::eek: http://www.gophersports.com/newMediaPlayer/sl/console.htm?type=vod&oemid=8400&SPID=&DB_MENU_ID=&DB_OEM_ID=8400&SPSID=&KEY=AQRGEFLMPFFHQEC.20091017010551 :clap::clap: Gold Zone non-premium video.

I bought tickets to the GLC tailgate, which was planned for one of the now closed grassy lots. Anyone know who to contact about whether they are moving or just canceling it? Do they usually email people that signed up with changes/updates?

My credit card was charged on Monday, so they must be close.

For his audible comments after the close encounter with the 1st down marker. http://deadspin.com/5368838/motherfer-hit-my-penis
