Gopher Hoops - A solid start

Looks like Tubby can do two things Brewster never could - recruit and coach - as your Minnesota Golden Gophers win the Puerto Rico Tip-off Tournament. Solid wins over UNC (who then mailed it in versus Vanderbilt) and West Virginia mean the Gophers will crack the Top 25 this week.




Yes, I am ignoring all other things that are negative today.

Yeah...very nice start for the Gophers. I had the pleasure of catching up with MCA this weekend in Chicago, and his first words were: "Addition by subtraction, thy name is Lawrence Westbrook."

Welcome back, Al Nolen. The guy was an iron man this weekend, and was great at penetrating and distributing, not to mention hitting 11 of 12 FTs on Sunday. Mbakwe seems to be as good as advertised as well...good to have an aggressive big man down low (unlike Sampson who still plays 6 inches shorter than he is).
