Gophers are 10-9 and 3-5 in conference play with wins over Indiana,NW and the herky’s.

Minnesota lost in ovt to Ohio State Tuesday night and are 9-3 at home.
Gophers looked very tough in that game against OSU. Hope Frager can go and is 100%. He’s a difference maker.

I bet they hold Frager out so he’s as close to 100% as possible for Michigan. I think we can beat them without him but will need scoring from Berke and Garcia as well as Mast will need to have a good game.

Minnesota is 9-2 at home... only losing to USC and Wisconsin. They are extremely tough at home and are much better than their record indicates.

They get to the free throw line a lot and are disciplined. Let's hope they are 9-3 at home after tomorrow's game.

I probably missed a neutral game so thanks for the correction.

This one worries me- with or without Frager. Minnesota gets themselves on the bubble with a win against Nebraska. They’ve lost 4 straight, but were in all of those games late.

The Huskers have been great at taking care of business, so I still like their chances. Frankly, this may be the biggest game of the season thus far.

We're going to need to shoot lights out and hope we don't get into foul trouble. If we get into foul trouble, Fred will be forced to play some of those transfers that don't see any time on the court as it is now so I have my doubts that they can give us quality min. Unless Minn is hit with the flu I think this will be a difficulty game to win (without Frager) and if he's still not available for Michigan...........bad news boys.

You seem to hate the fact NU basketball has not lost a game. I’ve read all of your bs drivel about basketball over the years. Maybe just enjoy it for a change
Lovin it. Just not going to get too high or too low. I try to be logical and even handed. After over 59 years listening to and watching Husker basketball, I’m cautious. HUGE Fred fan. Hope we win it all but I keep waiting for the roof to collapse.

I get it. But if you are being honest you have been all doom and gloom over the Frager injury. It’s not season ending. NU was/is gonna drop a few games before the tourney with or without Frager.

Just found out an area pulmonologist went up to the cities to support his idiot daughter who is going to protest this weekend…morons.
How much are they getting paid? In regards to the game, Goofers will be tough. They play everyone close. Crocker-Johnson is a load. It actually scares me. It's a key game with the top dogs in the conference all coming up on the schedule.

Yeah I want to win this game as much as anyone, but it's not a single-elimination tournament. Huskers are going to drop at least a couple of conference games and when it does happen, it's not a disaster.
Yep!

They can go .500 the rest of the way and still end up with a 5 seed at worst.

One of Frager’s greatest assets is his athleticism. A lingering ankle problem would hurt our chances of advancing very far in March.
