My sadistic hope is that UMD, Boston College, and Providence get beat up by a wide margin in the tournament and that Wisconsin (as much as I hate to say it) beats Northeastern 12-0. This bracket is all sorts of stupid so I want it to backfire in amazing firey glory.

What's old is new again.

You do not need any equipment for Comcast TV anymore. I do it exclusively though the Roku App. And I went back to Comcast from YTTV for Gopher hockey but ended up saving money doing so. The Xfinity Roku app has an annoying degree of delay, but it works great otherwise. The app is a mess, but an app...

Getting a little dusty in here after watching that. The real loss in the business of professional sports is in the communities of players lost. While new players come and hopefully have a matching impact, those who "grew up" in the community or got their professional start seem to have a great reac...

Is Faalele back? When you said Big Man I thought that was the article.

Unless something changed/changes yes. He opted out of 2020 for health/COVID reasons but was always planning to be back.

While the NCAA is allowing up to 25% capacity, State/Local regulations take precedence, so it looks like 15% for the Frozen Four: https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/penguins-welcome-back-fans-ppg-paints-arena-15-percent-capacity/c-321958894 This is true, I got an e-mail about it today.

Why can't you just celebrate the fact the Gophers will be bringing a kid on campus with the most potential that we have not seen in years rather than if he will match stats with Boeser or Caufield or that he will leave after 1 year? It is like saying-- it is 60 degrees outside today, but its going ...

Yea, I'm not disagreeing the fell apart a bit down the stretch and put themselves in a challenging situation - but there' s no way that UMD and Providence should have both leapt over them. MN was higher than UMD in the polls, in the standings, and held the H2H with them. There's also no way UMD shou...

If the goal was prove the value of the pairwise, they succeeded. I hope it is used forever.

They’re the 4th ranked team in the country and didn’t get in. Interesting.

I'm not redoing his 8th season or 2020.

We avoid PSU and ND who have notoriously ended our seasons in recent years. I like our chances against MSU and a MI or OSU team who had a (hopefully) harder quarter-final. Not the worst outcome in the world. Win a couple to keep you #1 seed in the NCAAs.

Interesting to watch the post game with Michigan vs. our history with a North Dakota. A lot of voluntary opponent hugs and chatting, checking in with the other team. Reminds me of Fever Pitch when Fallon and friends are at the bar and annoyed by seeing the Yankee and Red Sox players having dinner to...

That's about the longest shot you can get.

Its rare to win 3 banners in a year. I'll forgo this first one for the last one.

That lasted for a minute.

WI better all send Cole Caufield a thank you card. He almost single handedly dismantled the Gophers and he's the reason they won today to win the conference. He'll be missed by no one but them next season.

Welp, tonight doesn't matter for anything other than future NCAA seeding... maybe...
WI wins the conference.

Remember when WI was a rivalry and not just an annual ass kicking in every sport? Hope the Gophers return to form next season.

The Gophers can only pray to get the next Boeser or Caufield. This is WI's season. Caufield goes pro after this season and I think WI returns to reality a bit. They'll still be good, but I think he makes them notably better. Flip, I don't think the Gophers lose as much in their Sr. class that isn't...

Michigan State is up 1-0 against Wisconsin with just under 2 to go in the 2nd.

This is no longer true...

The Gophers end the season playing as the worst team in the conference losing 7 in a row and squandering a guaranteed NCAA appearance after their play through New Year's. They fall to 12th in the conference, have not only a conference losing record (again - Pitino's only had 1 winning conference rec...

This team is going to exceed my expectations. I thought they’d finish 2-2 and miss the NCAAs. They’re going to finish 0-4 and miss the NIT.

Going to need a WI loss tomorrow.

And, yeah, I will never cheer for a team that raided the closet of every team in the league and went to a Cup in their inaugural season. What a joke.

The NHL really conceded to new owners/teams on this expansion draft process and it sucks.

I always like reading the "first time in X amount of years" stats that the press always share. Of course it makes sense when it's something like the first time the Twins have won a playoff game in 17 years. But tonight it was the first time the Gophers basketball team has gone winless on the road i...

Time for contraction.

It seems like every sport is trying to push viewers away.

I think Vegas needs a bouncy ball team. I know an inept franchise in need of a home.

Pitino should not be on the plane home. This team gets worse by the minute. The only consistent thing is the late season collapse. Every... single... year... 0 road wins and what will end up being a losing record overall. In year 8. After beating some really good teams. I can’t imagine too many team...

Here's what I know - if the Gophers don't lose another game this season they will be NCAA champions.

Or, if you want to be COVID-downer - they will be champions as much as anyone because the season won't get finished.

I think that should read that he will finish the season but will not return to Dinkytown next season. I don't follow, or even like basketball very much, but I am curious about how much Pitino's 'early retirement' will cost the Gophers' athletic budget? $1M - $1.75M I “think” depending on timing. Th...

I think we got an inch? It was so wet and dense I’m not sure. Had to shovel it as the plow threw it all in our driveway. But easy cleanup.

This team had two bad weekends that account for 4 of their 5 losses. That’s pretty good from where we were. Excited to know they’re at worst a 2 seed in the conference tourney and most likely at worst a 2nd bracket (5-8) team in the NCAA tourney. Just super pumped about how this years has played out...

Wild have given back a 3-0 lead. Now tied with 1:12 left.

If WI goes 2-0, MN must go 1-0-1.

Gophers lose to the worst team in the conference, their 5th in a row, and are clearly outside looking in for the tourney. Pitino must go.

The pandemic, injuries, I get all of it. But it does seem to be time to move on. Once again the "Glen Mason Rule" is in effect: if firing is related to team performance, then you better get a significant upgrade in the new hire. I'm sure Coyle is formulating the plan for the '21-'22 season and if t...

This program should just fold if tonight’s situation holds.

Pitino has to be done. 54-93 in B1G play.
I like him like I liked Saunders but he’s just not able to put a complete season together.

Classic Pitino 2nd half fade. Both half of game and season. Monson outperformed Pitino and he was the sanctioned coach (so I read). Blech.

Remember when free throw shooting was out biggest issue? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Northwestern is terrible. It’s unbelievable the Gophers are winning at half. Up by six but 1 of 12 from 3 point land. That’s 8.3%.
Need this win, I think an 0pher on the road Gophers are out of the tourney.

I just witnessed Mashburn drive to the net and drop in a nice layup from within the paint. It was glorious.

nevermind
JC posted at the same time as me.

Best of luck to Seth.

This feels like a different team since the extended break.

This has turned into a Harlem Globetrotters show.

We have 0 defense.

Just gave up the 6th dunk of the game.

11 Gopher turnovers.

4 IL players with double digit points.

Announcers talking about how Cockburn is having a great game as the replay shows him jabbing an elbow into a Gopher and pushing him back to get separation in the paint with no foul called.

I was just asking when the push off became legal.

Well, I missed the first half of the first half, but their shooting in the 2nd part of the half was not those percentages. I saw them get 4 points.

6-0 run to start the 2nd half for IL. 2 turnovers and a think of a three attempt. IL looks like the 97 Bulls out there.

Another Pitino standard. Fade down the stretch. They’re doing what they do, just throwing balls up and hoping they land, but they don’t. And today, many are getting intercepted before they even get to the rim. It’s ridiculous. It’s so frustrating because they play below their capability. This may be...

Well they’re getting my money.

This is crazy, different overpass but same area.

Sweep MSU and split Michigan, finish 3-1 and I think all will be ok. WI could go 6-0, but I think there's a loss in there.

Hearing Browns now for JJ.

The Wentz thing sort of surprised me, but not by a lot. I think the Bears just dicked around too long, and the Iggles got impatient.

Jay Glazier said the Bears never made an offer. I’m good with it, they don’t need another project.

Brian Dozier announces his retirement.

I was surprised the axed Tubby after his best NCAA tournament (3rd round) and the team's best since (1997*) 1990. Tubby didn't make "a" tournament in 1 of his seasons, otherwise had 3 NCAA and 2 NIT appearances. Pitino has back-to-back seasons without "a" tournament appearance, which hadn't previous...

If this team is a first round NCAA exit or misses, time for Pitino to go. He’s had plenty of time. And replace him with who? I’m not verse in the college bball world. I saw the former Michigan coach was the color commentary for our game vs Maryland. Any chance we can convince him to take a step dow...

This team is absolutely maddening. They’re going to have one of the best records against the top 25, but go winless on the road losing some real head scratchers and not make the tourney. It’s time for a change. 8 years is enough.

Can't wait for the AHA conference tournament in April in Pitt!

Gophers climb back to #4 in the polls leapfrogging WI again.
Interesting that in 5 losses, they've only lost to 2 teams.

Just two really bad weekends where they seemed to take the weekend off.

The inside and outside faucets are a problem. From the HGTV shows I’ve seen in Texas, it isn’t unusual for walls to be minimally insulated, if insulated at all. When we lived in NC, if the temperature was going to drop below 20 we had to let our faucet drip to make sure the pipes didn't freeze. Pip...

If the offsides is not directly responsible for a goal, meaning either a shot/save occurs or the opposing team touches the puck then no reversal should be allowed.
