Ironically Williams Arena wasn’t even named after a basketball coach. It was named after Bernie Williams, the football coach from 1900-1921 who won 8 B1G titles and a Natty.
Cool resume but 100 years later I’m 💯 ok with calling it The Barn and thank you @BlueCrossMN
The University of Minnesota announced the basketball arena at its Twin Cities campus will now be known as "The Barn" after being called Williams Arena since 1950. fox9.com/news/williams-arena…

What do you think of the Williams Arena name change to “The Barn supported by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota”?

If the Gophers had played St Thomas MBB last season it would have been a Quad 3 game, which would have been higher "value" than the seven Quad 4 games they played including:
Gardner-Webb
Alcorn State
Green Bay
Chicago State
Texas Southern
Campbell
FDU

I’m sticking to my opinion that this is a near-perfect level of minor adversity that will cause Drake to work even harder this summer and have a great season this fall.

I think most fans want UMN v UST. It's the coaches/athletic dept that "doesn't see the value" because they have more to lose than gain on an NCAA Tournament resume.
What we as fans can do is pack the house on Nov 6 because ticket sales are the other part of the value equation.
Gopher fans who see no value in playing UST are absolutely seething right now.

“Don’t see value” probably refers to recruiting as well but if Gophers can’t out-recruit St Thomas then what are we even doing.

Finally, a Gophers men’s basketball coach that isn’t afraid to play St Thomas! #TeamTogether

I’ll always put the Axe game first even though I’m sick and tired of losing to Iowa.
Would Gopher fans trade the Axe for the Pig this season just to get off the schneid?

Former Gopher Rachel Banham is playing for the Chicago Sky vs Lynx today.
In her first ten years in the WNBA the most she made was $101K/yr.
With the WNBA’s new CBA she is making $425K this year.

This sounds like a home run hire, no pun intended. A Minnesota native with a championship pedigree that’s won everywhere she’s been as player and coach.
Welcome to Minnesota, Coach Melsted! 〽️
Gretta Melsted has been named the new head coach of Gopher Softball!

Honestly I don’t mind 24 teams in the CFB tourney. A team like Minnesota is typically a long shot at 16 but a solid bubble team with 24.

Big Ten COO Kerry Kenny says that the Big Ten ran the numbers and 80 different college football programs would have reached the College Football Playoff if there’d been a 24-team format if you go back to 2014.
