But hey, you finally make one play and we’re gonna taunt the crowd/Saints by looking at the goofy fake watch SMH
"The Northland Conference Preview"
The Northland is very interesting. There is some good young talent and we wonder, can somebody end the Nevis 31 game league winning streak?
We give you the power rankings and the best 20 players in the league at @NorthstarHoops prephoops.com/2026/11/the-no…

Plenty to unpack in my takeaways from the #Gophers 34-20 loss to #5 UCLA.
One nugget within: UCLA ran 55 plays. 43 of them went for 75 yards, with two turnovers.
The other 12? 391 yards, which is over 32 yards per play.
Explosive plays matter.

Minnesota beats St. Thomas 76-62
Isaac Asuma led the #Gophers with 20 points, JCJ had a 16-10 double-double, Grayson Groves has 10-9, and Nolan Groves had 15-7
That said, he has still really helped the team with a 16 point, 10 rebound double-double.
A big post up make and key foul shot makes down the stretch
Nolan Groves now has five offensive boards as UST just can't find him to get a body on him. So active.
He has 15 points, #Gophers up 74-62
