This isn’t exactly what the Minnesota Gophers basketball team had in mind when picturing their offseason.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers football team definitely did better for themselves in the NFL draft than they did for themselves on the football field.

It’s funny how getting a big name coach to come to your program generates interest and attention for your school.

With the Twins still in Fort Myers for spring training, you may wonder who is important enough to host the inaugural game in Target Field.

In a season full of more ups and downs than a VH1 Tool Academy marathon, the Gophers strangely faded off into the college basketball offseason without a peep.

March is a great time of year in college basketball, but it’s times like these I wonder why I still look forward to it and enjoy it.

You heard all the rumors about Tubby Smith leaving Minnesota and moving on to Auburn. That he’s on his way back to the SEC. Is it true? Should Goldy Gopher start shedding a tear over what he (she? I don’t know what gender the mascot is) might lose?

MILWAUKEE- Orlando “Tubby” Smith is entering his second NCAA Tournament (and third year) as the leader of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Despite reaching the second round on 14 prior occasions during his career, he has to win a tourney game with the Gophs. Is this the year?

So begins the most exciting sports event of the year.
Yeah, there’s the Super Bowl, the MLB playoffs, the BCS, but none compares to an event like this. There’s simply nothing else like it.

Don’t get me wrong, winning the Big Ten Tournament would’ve been nice on a number of levels for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Not only would it have kept their ridiculous amount of late season momentum going right into the tournament with the auto bid they would’ve received, but in the big picture it also would be a great title and trophy to hold along with an unbelievable comeback story for the school that could be passed over for decades to come. When it seemed they were done, the 2010 Gophers made a memorable charge through the entire Big Ten to win the league and go to the NCAAs. You know, all that sentimental crap.
But let’s be completely serious, when it came down to the Gophers getting into this year’s tournament, Sunday’s game had nothing to do with it.

INDIANAPOLIS- It was easily the most exciting Big Ten Tournament in history. The first day brought us rumors about coaching changes. The second day we had (for the first time in history) all four games come down to the wire; including one in overtime. And on the third day, we saw the first OT game in tournament semi-finals history and the first multi-overtime game in Big Ten tournament history. And on the final day, the greatest individual performance in BTT history saved his best effort for last, solidifying his MVP status.
In addition to all the great basketball we watched, there were some fun ancillary experiences. Here are some of the best.

Ok, so that’s speculation. But honestly, how do you leave the Gophers out of the field of 65 now?
After squeaking out an overtime victory against Michigan State Friday and ending Purdue’s Big Ten tournament Saturday in embarrassing fashion, the Gophers have done everything it could be asked to do to come all the way back from bubble nothingness, to get an NCAA tournament bid.

Minnesota looked like they were ready to punch their ticket to the Big Ten Semifinals Friday with a 55-48 lead with 3:27 left to play.
But you had to know it wasn’t over.

The Big Ten tournament is in full swing (just ask Ohio State and Michigan), and one of the more important quarterfinal games features Michigan State against Minnesota. The Golden Gophers are in desperate need of a deep tournament run, and a loss tonight would effectively eliminate them from contention for an at-large bid. They got off to a strong start last night when they blew out Penn State 76-65, though they will face a much tougher team in Michigan State. The Gophers produced a balanced offensive attack last night, as four players scored in double figures. Devoe Joseph led the team with 15 points.

After an up and down end to the regular season, no one really knew what to expect heading into a match-up with Penn State that posed a few problems for the Minnesota Gophers basketball team.

It was an opportunity to end a fringe bubble team’s season.
It was an opportunity to keep themselves squarely in the field.
Now, it seems that the Illini just might be fighting for their lives.
