That's too bad, I always enjoy the chance to win a title. Winning the San Juan Shootout under Tubby was great and Gabe's buzzer beater won the Vancouver Showcase a couple years ago. I don't think we won the tournament, but Andre Hollins looked like the next Gopher star dropping 40 something in the Battle for Atlantis (shame he was never the same guy after his injury). I remember staying up as a kid to watch Gophers win the Great Alaska Shootout. Hopefully 2021 will bring another good tournament option.

WTF? This sucks

So what does this mean for non conference games? Weren't we already trying to land another one or two to begin with?

The Gophers backed out recently, hoping to either host a multi-team event or play an MTE closer to home to limit non-league travel during the pandemic, sources said.

Like St Thomas?

I'm going to be ticked if we have anywhere close to the competition level that Wake Forest made with their MTE...

Guys, they are in a bubble. You do not risk playing other teams that are not kept to the same standards as the B1G.

Why would you think it was going to be any different than FB?
