NBA Draft is Over: Time to Focus on 2011-12 College Basketball Season

The NBA draft has come and gone. It was an especially weak draft, mostly because of the members of the 2010 recruiting class, but especially because a ton of the top players in college basketball decided to return college basketball next season. Most notable players who could have easily been top five picks were Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, and Jared Sullinger. What does this really mean?

2011-2012 college basketball season is going to be amazing. The sport returns a ton of star power, led by Sullinger and Barnes, that should make for a really good season. North Carolina is returning practically their entire team, as is Ohio State besides David Lighty and Jon Diebler. With Jared Sullinger controlling the paint, the Buckeyes are for sure in contention for the Natty.


So buy Gopher tickets today with Ticket King! The gophers return a glut of star players such as Trevor Mbakwe, Ralph Sampson, and Rodney Williams. Especially try to go to the game when the Buckeyes visit the Gophers next season. I can smell an upset brewing!

Penn State and Michigan Will Not Visit Williams Arena

After the basketball schedule for the Golden Gophers was recently announced, I found myself feeling very sad. At first I was wondering why I felt so sad and now I realize that it is because Penn State and Michigan won't be visiting the Barn. I know what you're thinking Michigan's a very good team we should be glad that we don't have to play them as much. Here are my two cents on why I'm going to miss these teams next year.

Penn State is not good at all. I love when they come to the Barn because they suck so I love going to the Barn and watching the Gophers pick up an easy win. Michigan is the team I really wish was coming to the Barn. The gophers play so well at home and a win against a Michigan team that is expected to be ranked could really boost their resume. At least we will still get a shot at the Buckeyes
