If you follow the NBA you may be familiar with the term “Death Lineup.” That’s the Golden State Warriors who were able to put out a combination of players that could matchup with and beat almost anyone on the offensive and defensive sides. In short, it was an unbeatable collection of players.
Now, we’re not naive enough to think that the Minnesota Gophers have any sort of impervious collection of players, but they’re a talented bunch who can beat almost anyone when they’re playing at a high level. But what’s the Gophers equivalent of a Death Lineup? This question got brought up recently between the basketball writers, so we decided to have an open discussion about it.
