What’s that? Gopher basketball is around the corner? Every year it’s amazing to me how it’s all summer, summer, summer and BOOM, college basketball season. And here we are, about to embark on what promises to be one of the most entertaining seasons we’ve had in decades.
I mean, think about it. We’ve got a team on our hands that graduated ONE PLAYER, and one that wasn’t even a starter until halfway through the season. You could make an argument that the Gophers return their entire starting lineup, and that’s with a team that went 11-7 in the conference and ended up as a 5-seed in the Big Dance.
