Gopher MBB

The Gopher men's basketball team snapped their 3-game losing streak with a 79-61 home win over Nebraska Monday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Gophers are on track for a NCAA tournament berth due to conference wins over Iowa, Michigan and Ohio State and a strong Big Ten conference this season.

The Gopher men's basketball team lost 76-72 at Rutgers Thursday night to drop to 4-7 in the Big Ten and 11-7 overall. The loss is their 3rd straight and Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan says it puts them on the bubble for a NCAA Tournament spot. He says they had been sitting in a great position after their home win over Michigan in January.

The Gopher men's basketball lost their 3rd straight road game of the Big Ten season 82-57 Wednesday night to fall to 3-3 in the Big Ten and 10-3 overall. Jim says the Gophers just haven't played well on the road. Factors could be different rims and environment or the travel but with no fans that can't be the issue.
