I guess the guy just wants some PT, no matter where it happens. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/02/minnesota-transfer-forward-commits-to-cal-poly/

I posed these over at FTB, but I thought it'd be interesting fodder for the board. I had a few questions that I'm excited to see answers to as the season plays out. Some will be readily apparent right away; others might take a while. Great for speculation. Bad for Dr. Don. 1. Who will win the...

The ESPN love continues. Fran Fraschilla listed four teams teams he thought warranted Final Four consideration - the Gophers are one of them. Others include Colorado State, Miami (FL) and Oregon. It's an Insider article but here is Minnesota's blurb: Nothing particularly new or anything we...

For those that don't have ESPN Insider, Jay Bilas posted his top 68 teams in the NCAA. The Gophers clocked in at #9. B1G teams include Michigan (3), Indiana (4), Illinois (13), Michigan State (16), Ohio State (18), Wisconsin (44) and Iowa (52). Keep in mind this was posted on Wednesday before...

I don't know why this has bothered me so much but I thought this would be the best place to get it off my chest. Early in the first half when Brandon Paul dunked over Mbakwe - two things: 1) He was called for a charge but the basket still counted. Huh? I still don't get it. The ball never left...

Jay Bilas offered up his five most underrated teams and included the Gophers at #4. Not sure that Minnesota can be "underrated" at #9 in the country but I see what he's getting at. I agree with almost everything he says here (I think the Gophers are getting enough attention for now). The article...

Looks like Andy Katz is off the Gopher bandwagon. Judging from past years when he was ON the bandwagon, though, this is probably a good thing. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/68300/writer-predictions-accbig-ten-challenge Facing difficult teams at a neutral site was...

This is the most insane thing I have ever heard: http://www.rantsports.com/clubhouse/2012/11/20/grinnells-jack-taylor-sets-division-iii-record-with-138-points-against-faith-baptist/ 138 points 27 three pointers 52-101 from the field. I have no words.

Big Ten getting a lot of respect in the year's first poll. Three teams (Indiana, OSU and Michigan) in the top five. Five teams in the top 25. Gophers got nine votes. I actually expected them to be closer to the 25th spot. Gives them a bit of a chip on their shoulder, I suppose. Funny that Saint...

Hard to argue with the reasoning. Just not enough room. http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_20445481/gophers-basketball-trent-lockett-will-not-transfer-minnesota

After the Huskers hit a buzzer-beating three pointer before halftime today, I had the reaction we all have, which was, "Jesus. How does the other team ALWAYS seem to hit those last second shots? And why don't we ever seem to?" So I did a bit of research and found that in shot attempts with five...

Nolen's injury obviously forced some re-shifting of the offense, but I certainly liked what I saw with Mbakwe, Sampson and Iverson on the court at the same time. Sampson plays much better and, IMO, is much more dangerous near the elbow than he is down low. He's not a grinder, so it's better to...

I think an understated part of this game might end up being Rodney's defense on E'Twaun Moore. Seriously, if Moore had even a mediocre game tonight then I don't think we win. His 2-14 from the field went a long way towards Purdue falling short and I think a lot of that credit should go to...

http://www.startribune.com/video/?vid=111226439&elr=KArks5PhDcU9PhDcU9PhDcU5PhDco8P77jyPhU&elr=KArksUUUycaEacyU I kept half expecting someone to jump out and say this was all a joke. These guys really can't believe what they're saying, can they? Lou Holtz? My god, does Sid have any idea...

Frankly, it's been nauseating not seeing either Gray or Alipate, one of which is taking over next year, getting extended time in a season that has been lost for weeks. Snippet from Marcus' article below: <I> University of Minnesota interim football coach Jeff Horton hinted after Saturday's...

Myron previewed the 2010-11 season today and had Royce White listed as part of his "best-case scenario" lineup, saying that if White returns to the team he would be part of a best-case scenario. My question is, is this even plausible? Has White even offered the thought of returning to the...

Haven't seen much in regards to how the game actually went. I didn't get a chance to see the game online or in person and just wanted to know if there were any insights into the game that the box score or the Strib recap might not have touched. How much full court pressing was there? Were...

Gophers SS A.J. Pettersen was named to the Baseball America Freshman All-American team which was released today. Basically it means he is the best freshman shortstop in the country, an awesome honor. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/awards/freshman-all-america-team/2009/268457.html

In the new Baseball America poll out today the Gophers are ranked #21, their highest ranking of the season. Not a bad way to head into the last series of the regular season. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/top-25/2009/268079.html

After a sweep over Northwestern and a split with Missouri, Gopher baseball is back in the Baseball America top 25...at #25. Minnesota won four out of five (a 20-5 loss..ouch!) and currently sit at 20-10. Northwestern sucks but it's nice to see the Gophers continue to get awesome starting...
