Hi everybody. Welcome to a new basketball season. The best basketball in terms of consistent effort and hustle and passion is the high schools. So here are...
OK, so make a liar out of me. The Becker girls beat Hopkins 63-54 at Hopkins last night. Hopkins, #4 in AAAA, led throughout until Becker tied the game at 51....
How good is Henry this year? I was told Totino-Grace had beaten Henry (is that true?), and last night St. Louis Park beat Totino-Grace by 17, having led by as...
Tuesday night, I was doing the PA announcing for the Holy Angels boys basketball home opener against Orono and before the game I met the Spartans head coach,...
Rogers won AT Becker (girls) 54-37 the other night, and it wasn¹t even that close. It was 31-16 at the half. Meanwhile, the Crookston girls lost to Fargo...

Minnesota kids did pretty well as the men's teams returned to action following Christmas. SUNDAY Bruce Price (Minneapolis South) led Tennessee State with 17...
I am shocked at how well these kids are doing, as a whole. I mean, who really thought that Nolen and Hoffarber would be contributing like they are so soon, or...
Thanks. I did not have a chance to see most of these kids play HS ball (the few I did see were on videotape from the State Tournament) but as a group they...
Janning is a shooter. Ditto Hoffarber. I mean, both are good athletes, but would not be playing if they could not shoot. The big step up from high school to...
I've been doing a thing this year...based on NBA box scores, I pick ³3 stars,² like in the NHL, for each game, but they¹re based on points + rebounds +...
We don't have the Celtics' Big 3 because McHale (1) is one of the all time worst GM's in any sport, and (2) thinks he's still a Celtic. And the sad part is...
Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle! In his first Big Ten game, Freshman Jon Leuer (Wiconsin/Orono) scored 25 points vs. Michigan! And freshman Justin Stommes (Eastern...
Didn't Michigan lose to Harvard earlier this year? They also lost to Central Michigan at home, as I recall, a team the Gophers handled easliy. That might...
As if Leuer and Stommes weren't shocking enough, I discovered that I had missed a game earlier this season where freshman Zack Filzen (Northfield/Northern...
He was always a great shooter. His mom is the Carleton women¹s coach and has made the Carleton women into a ³regional² (MIAC) powerhouse. They haven¹t had...
Anybody up for the Winona State at Concordia game next Saturday night at 8 p.m.? We could meet there or else meet at the Nook or somewhere else for dinner. ...
I¹d be up for that. Including the Nook. Especially the Nook. Thanks, Stew, for noticing this. Seems like it¹s earlier in the year than last and I¹ve been...
Oh BTW I should have said women too. The Concordia women are unbeaten and #5 in the nation though, you read it here first, tonight at Mary (yes, Mary) is a...

Ryan Wittman scored 13 vs. Duke yesterday on 5-12 shooting with 2 turnovers, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 rebounds. Why is Duke playing Cornell in January? ...
