The Gophers lost at home to Indiana. The Gophers got blown out on the road by Northwestern. Eric Curry is out. Jarvis Johnson is just a pawn of the universe. Reggie Lynch is communicating to the public through a lawyer. Oh, we got this jolly news today:
#Gophers fans hoping Amir Coffey is back in less than a month shouldn’t be holding their breath. Heard he could possibly return from a shoulder injury in 6-8 weeks without surgery. We’re talking late February. By then season is about over. Will be reevaluated early next month.

Gopher basketball memory that doesn’t suck:
On Jan. 9, 2010 Blake Hoffarber scored a career-high 27 points, with six 3-pointers in the second half, to lead Minnesota to a 73-62 victory over Ohio State.
#GopherHaiku for the game:
Six players with skill.
Factor in the universe.
Now there are just three.
Prediction
KenPom likes Purdue by eight, 81-73. That’s generous, since the blog is still counting the Lynch and Coffey performances. It’ll probably be more along the lines of a 20-point drubbing.
