Gopher's Basketball

So far, not so bad for the Golden Gopher basketball programs tonight. The women went to Columbus and won for the first time in 25 tries...which would be every visit they had made to the Buckeye state. Nice win for the ladies.

Approaching halftime here, the men have played in spurts, both good and bad. And they just finished on a bad one. Gophers started out on fire, opening a 13-4 lead on the Badgers, but saw the Cheesers come back on 29-9 run to finish the half. The Gophers cut the lead to 8 with :40 and the ball but were unable to execute an inbounds play for a score and the goober in the googles made it an 11 point halftime lead. Summamabitch

UPDATE
Goophs come back from 14 down to force overtime here...a three with 2.1 second ties it. This Westbrook kid has been electric tonight. Carter kid is one helluva leaper.

I know I haven't seen a load of basketball players at the U like this in about 10 or 12 years...and they are young!
