Gophers Frozen Four Review

Gopher fans everywhere as we watched Union take down the Gophers on Saturday night with a final score of 7-4 and it was very disappointing. The Gophers lost the national title game Saturday night in front of 18,742 at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Minnesota Gophers were out for their sixth national championship!  It was a great hockey season, Gophers! We can't wait to see what next season brings because it's about to be bigger and better.

Gopher Hockey Causes Riots in Dinkytown

I'm sure you've heard the news, it's all over the place! Dinkytown was crazy last night with riots all over the place in response to Minnesota Gophers NCAA semifinal hockey victory over archrival North Dakota. We are so happy that the Gophers are advancing to the NCAA title game, but fans beware that the cops will not tolorate any destructive behavior.

Check out this article from the Star Tribune and enjoy the game responsibly!

Gophers NIT Championship 2014 Game Review

Great news for the Gophers! The Gopher basketball team placed first in the NIT Championship game and they couldn't be happier with this result. Even though they didn't make it to the NCAA Tournament, they used it as a great opportunity to grow and play their game.

In the championship game against SMU, the Gophers came out victorious with a 65-63 win. It's been a great season, Gophers! I don't know about you, but we can't wait for next year!

U of M vs. Penn State Basketball Recap

It was senior night at the Minnesota Gophers vs. Penn State basketball game, and of course, we saw Austin Hollins honored for his commitment for the Gophers.

Hollins also brought Gophers to one last regular-season victory over Penn State on 81-63 which gave the Gophers an opportunity for playing time at the Big Ten tournament. The Big Ten tournament was in Indianapolis with Minnesota, who are ranked 19-12, 8-10 Big Ten, getting a rematch with Penn State, who are ranked 15-16, and 6-12 in the Big Ten.
