To be or not to be (a Gopher fan)

Of course. I don't think it could have happened any other way. If you have lived under a shell for the past few days both of my beloved Golden Gopher teams lost and are finished for the year. First Tubby's Squad blew a double digit early lead and the game was over with 12 minutes to go as AJ Abrams (the only guy that the gophers had to guard) hit 3's on four straight possessions and hit 8 3's overall in the game. Westbrook then thought that he can handle the ball and proceeded to turn the ball over seemingly every time he touched the ball and throwing up junk in the last 10 minutes. Damian had another good 2nd half with all of his points coming in the 2nd half. Little disappointing because I wished they could have at least won one game in the tourny. Next year my friends, next year.

The more shocking loss for me was the hockey loss. After how well they played last weekend for them to come out and lay and egg like that is very disheartening and was a bummer. Kangas had to be replaced after the 1st because he was battling the flu all week and our season rested on the shoulders of a freshman goalie with little playing time. It didn't matter as Duluths goalie Alex Stalock was unreal and his hot streak continues as Duluth is currently playing in the Final Five Championship game. It is hard to go up against hot goalies and it seems like those are the only goalies that the Gophers saw all year. They have had troubles scoring and the troubles did them in for the final time. Again it's wait until next year for these Gophers unless they luck out and sneak into the tournament. If that happens, watch out for these guys. They are a good team but haven't received any brakes what so ever. Maybe they can catch one if they get in.

Now that is over it is baseball season and in the coming days I will have an extensive preview on the Twins to begin with and then eventually get to a team by team deal with predictions. Also the next post will include a recap of the first 2 NCAA rounds (thank you Cleveland State)
