Per Pat:
College basketball was so good in 1997 in San Antonio, when Bobby Jackson played 49 magnificent minutes, a large share with four fouls, and weaved and willed the Gophers to a 90-84 win in double overtime over Clemson in the Sweet Sixteen.
My all-time favorite Gophers game among many, that one.
College basketball was so good.
And it remains that way — if you're talking about the women's game.
There will be a Barn-busting crowd this winter. That's guaranteed already for Feb. 28, when Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes end their regular season here.
Clark and LSU's Angel Reese are the two biggest names in all of college hoops at this moment. And Paige Bueckers, from Hopkins to Connecticut, is also high up there — and already has put this season's largest basketball audience into Williams Arena.
Go Gophers!!

Men's college basketball had its glory days. Now move over for the women
Recent seasons and current stars recognizable by first name — Caitlin, Angel, Paige — prove it: The women's college game continues to rise above a muddled men's side.
