It pains me to say this, but the Gophers men’s basketball team is better than the Gophers men’s hockey team. I know, I didn’t belive I’d ever utter those words, but it is so true right now. The Gopher hockey team is struggling, and couldn’t even beat an average St. Cloud State team this past weekend. Meanwhile, the men’s hoop team pulled out a nice road win at Penn State, and look like the real deal. My question is this – are they for real, or is Tubby Smith getting it down with smoke and mirrors? I can’t answer it, but I do hope that they are for real, and that they don’t go in the tank as the Big 10 season wears on. What I do know, is that they are going to be good for years to come as long as Tuby is running the program. Go Gophers!
