Golden Nugz for 1.27.09

It's been awhile since we discussed Illinois' dominance over Minnesota. The last time any Minnesota fan wanted to talk about it was before the Big Ten Conference semis last year when, coming off that amazing win against Indiana, we thought the momentum was in Minnesota's corner.

It wasn't. Bruce Weber and the Illini beat Minnesota for the 20th straight time. Yes, 20. It's a streak that goes back to the days of Lon Kruger and Clem Haskins, writes Mark Tupper.

Tubby Smith didn't make much difference last year. A down Illini team went 3-0 against the Gophers. And now in 2009, Weber has his team playing very, very well. The Gophers need to hold down home court on Thursday.for their 2009 dreams, but also for a little pride. I really don't want to write that the Illini have beaten Minnesota for the 21st consecutive time.

If Maryland fans are upset at gary williams then they should chill out. They have no post players and their guards are not even comparable to Duke’s guards. They were destroyed because they had less talent, not that they were out-coached.

Tubby will not go to Alabama. I don’t pay attention to rumors, but I really do not think he wants to return south-east. Besides, it is much easier to build a great program at the U of M compared to Alabama. If Tubby stays he will not only steal the athletes that usually attend Wisconsin but just as crucially from Marquette. He has a goldmine here.

Most importantly, if he leaves the U o M he would look unprofessional. And, since Tubby doesn’t seem like that sort of person I think he will buy some more shovels.

I agree

That certain individual seems correct. He seems to not like Blake Hoffarber very much. I don’t why. Isn’t he that guy who made an unbelievable shot in high school? I might be wrong.

Even so, I have read his posts and I think he is a very smart basketball person. it seems without mistake to name him a basketball genious.
