Goph talent and discipline should lead them to the regional final for an epic showdown against the Wioux. Read why the back-to-back is somewhat concerning. But, with Wioux looming, the Goph can/should advance.

Frustrating loss for the Gophers against a beatable Gators squad. Unfortunately, Billy Donovan exposed Tubby's strategery and forced the Gophers into countless TOs. I mean, the Gophers struggled to execute an inbounds play from half court. The side inbounds is one of the hardest plays in basketball to defend and yet the Gators managed to stop the Gophers not once, but twice.

Minnesota will be in the West along with Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Purdue/Indiana.

Check out the recap of last night's tilt against Diet Wisconsin in the Tweet bag above!! Gophers fall in a very winnable game. Team needs to recapture the identity it had when beating Indiana and spanking Penn State. They need to continue to get the ball in the post and pound it down low with Mbakwe and E Squared. Also, Tubby needs to tighten up his rotations. Mbakwe only getting 28 minutes is ridiculous. What are we saving him for?? Losses like this one crush their momentum as tournament time gets nearer. Not . Good.

Is Sid Hartman really 92 years old? I still think a buyout is coming in March.

WHAT?
