Sconny to visit the Barn tonight - Yeah, it's a must win.

Well, two more games on the Big Ten schedule, both at home with a big one tonight against Sconny.

Thoughts? I say we take this one.

I generally hate hyperbolic statements like the one I'm about to make, but: "This game is the biggest game of the year for the Gophers." If they win, I think they take care of Michigan this weekend without too much trouble. If they lose, all of a sudden the Michigan game turns into an NIT vs. NCAA play-in game for sure, and the Gophers play tight, and...well, I don't even want to think about it.

They need to remember that they beat Sconny in Madison and step it up! C'mon Tubby! Let's see an a** whooping on the Badgers tonight!!

P.S. This may actually be the biggest home game in a few years. We haven't had anything on the line over the past few Marches.

Wow, talk about a "Badger Killer" in Westbrook. Both games this year he took over in the 2nd half. Scored last 10 pts last night with the dagger free throws in the end. Love it. Keep hope alive.

BG - Chuck and Joyce comment on the sound level? Had to be rockin'.

Word is that the Barn was REALLY loud last night, particularly in the last minute, when the whole arena was standing. Would have been a fun game to attend...

Tubby seriously screwed around with the lineup last night, bringing Westbrook off the bench. Maybe he's the "spark" they need as a sub rather than a starter...who knows.

BTW, why doesn't Nolen take it to the rack more often?!? I know he doesn't always finish, but there's a good chance he either makes the layup or gets fouled, right? Every time I see him do it, he absolutely blows by his defender.
