Thursday’s 76-51 win against Utah Valley came in Minnesota’s third game of the young season, and was also their last true tune-up of the young season. On Thanksgiving night, and two days thereafter, the Gophers begin what could potentially be their most difficult stretch...

Lawrence Westbrook is to the Gophers’ offense what Damian Johnson is to the defense. Westbrook was out with food poisoning, and the Gopher offense was out of it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being a bit nervous throughout most of the first half of the Gophers 82-42 win over the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. Over the weekend Iowa lost to Southland Conference also-ran UT-San Antonio, and for a while at least it appeared that...

The Gophers play Stephen F. Austin tonight. If my preview was insufficient, here are a couple more to check out.
As usual, it will be up to the Gopher basketball team to keep us all sane.
Why we do out best to avoid publishing unsubstantiated rumors.
There are injury bugs, and then...

Even good shooting teams have bad shooting nights. What often separates good shooting teams from bad shooting teams is shot selection. Open shots won’t always fall, but they have a much better chance of going in than well covered, rushed or reckless shots. All too often last...

Down with Goldy is right. It was only an exhibition. It is entirely meaningless. It may have even been unfair. However, it doesn’t mean we can’t get a bit excited.
In a game that wasn’t even really that (by definition a game involves competition, and I’m not...

Royce White and Devron Bostick have been suspended indefinitely for, you guessed it, and unspecified team rules violation. No word what this violation is, and how long the suspension will be.
Hopefully this is a minor violation and that both players will atone for their mistakes and...
