    College Basketball has permanently changed

    College basketball does not work the same way it did when Ben started which is a startling fact considering he has only been here 3 years. Most are still trying to grasp what this means. One thing it means is that local kids might leave, or might stay, or might leave and then come back all...

    End of the NCAA in sight?

    The NCAA model took another hit late Friday when a federal district judge awarded class-action status to an ongoing antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken ruled in House v. NCAA that not only the original plaintiffs could proceed with their lawsuit but...

    Season Poll (Pre-exhibition game version)

    Everyone is speculating on the how the team will do this year and yet nobody has really seen the team play yet short of a summer practice for the fortunate few. I thought it might be fun to see others' predictions before Macalester Exhibition game begins to expose the team for who they really...

    What would better free throw shooting get us?

    During the season we were the worst free throw shooting team in the country at roughly 62.5%. All other things being equal what would have happened if we shot the NCAA median percentage of 72.8% for the entire league during the season? Or even if we had the league best percentage of 83.3%...

    Gophers MBB is Bad but Future is Bright

    Not sure if this was posted previously - Eric Strack with MinnesotaSportsFan.com appears to have written up a positive take on the future of Gopher Hoops. Unfortunately it points to next year and especially the following year before we will be competitive in the Big Ten. Still, the next couple...

    These kids know what they are worth.

    per Day: Doubling of annual media revenue The previous Big Ten media rights deal was signed in 2017, a six-year contract with ESPN and Fox worth $2.64 billion — or about $440 million per season. The new deal dwarfs that, and will create a dramatic increase in media revenue. In 2019, the most...

    If we could get a player back from last year's roster...

    All the players leaving was a complete disaster. ...until I met this year's team. Just pondering the current roster and wondering which former gopher actually helps the current group of mature, high basketball IQ overachievers. Who adds to the current team? No disrespect intended to the...

    Now is the time. The Time is Now. (For Mark Coyle)

    Regardless of opinions over the last couple of years. Without taking into consideration the back and forth, the Pitino haters and the defenders, and those of us just trying to enjoy the season. Without taking into consideration a fans amazing skill of "hindsight" to second-guess decisions...

    This year's team is better than last year's

    Nice win vs. Michigan! The team appears to be passionate, talented, balanced, multiple go-to players, gritty, well coached, having fun and getting better every game. They play hard, adjust as the game goes on, bounce back under adversity (they won't go away) and appear to be genuinely good...

    Season on the edge

    The current season is on a knife blade's edge. A step in any direction except forward and all is lost. We always knew that to make the Tourney this year the boys would need to take care of business with the easier games and steal a couple of tough ones. With this loss it only makes it...

    Pitino will have a long career here (and so will Washington for 4 years)

    Sorry to break it to all the negative Patrick Reusse-fans on the Gopherhole but the most recent "Big Ten Coach of the Year" need not fear any backlash on the season from the University. He has had a string of issues to deal with and he is showing that he can find ways to not only stay...
