A couple of interesting games last night. The Bemidji State women beat Carleton 74-59, more bad news for the MIAC, considering Carleton is expected to content...
Long feature article about Tayler Hill, 5-9 freshman guard at Mpls. South, in today's Strib. For those of you who don't know, Hill scored 22.4 ppg last year as...
The Gophers got the bye in the second round of Big Ten play. There were 2 upsets, one of them a big upset. The big one was not Purdue¹s 61-59 win over Ohio...
What is the general opinion of players transferring out of the area where they live simply to attend a high school that is already powerhouse and they want to...
As a fan, I may not like it but it is none of my business. The legislature created open enrollment, the MSHSL does limit transfers to one per career without...
Merriam-Webster defines exclude as "to prevent or restrict the entrance of; to bar from participation, consideration, or inclusion" so I fail to see how you...
With Marcus Camby out indefintely, I don't see Denver as a looming threat. The Woofies have as good a chance as anyone to win their weak division. I don't see...
A fun faux pas in today's (Monday, January 2, 2006) Star Tribune on p. C16 in the story about whether the Wolves will trade for Ron Artest. The caption under a...
God bless the St. Paul Pioneer Press for its coverage of small college ball which, along with high school ball in greater Minnesota, the Strib has pretty much...
I don¹t think there¹s a federal law about transferring colleges whereas I would assume the MSHSL is limited by state law, and there¹s no way the legislature...
When I saw Vandevieren play in the state tournament last year, I saw more elbows thrown and more forcefully than I have ever seen in my life at any level. I...
I'm not sure how we can read minds to know which transfers were for athletic reasons and which were not. I don't like the volume of transfers either, but they...

Out of curiosity, what (to name one) did Mario Retica do to deserve this honor that Duane Baglien did not? _____ From: mnbuckets@yahoogroups.com...

Wow. Two big surprises in the MIAC, games I didn't even have on my "watch list" because they looked like slam dunks. Instead Augsburg (2-7 going in) broke a 9...
Did Sid write the Strib report annointing Wittman? (son of coach vs. traitor who went to Big Ten rival) Why are you so lukewarm on St. Thomas? As you noted,...

Well St. Thomas lost to Cretin, only by 1 point of course. Cretin in turn lost to Johnson, who also beat Henry, but lost to Woodbury and beat Fairmont 80-79....
The thought below doesn't involve mind-reading (I should have written it better - my mistake). Once a kid transfers twice, that's it - no more athletics....
Howard and I attended the Eden Prairie-Braham game at Bethel on Friday night, and Ryan Wittman was clearly the MVP of that tournament. I don't have the...

How about Marquette 94 Connecticut 79! Steve Novak of Marquette set a Big East record with 41 points in his first conference game, and he added 16 boards. The...
I did not see the game and appreciate hearing about what you guys saw. The old saying is to let the game come to you and what you are saying I think is that...

First, a bit off-topic (sorry) but I found this very interesting. The US national women's hockey team will be playing Warroad high school tonight. Anybody want...
Because more opportunities for kids to play D1 in their home state will help build MN HS ball. I am convinced that is a major reason why Wisconsin and Iowa...

St. Thomas is a good choice. It's bigger than Georgetown, and would give Minnesota a DI Catholic school option for recruits. (Out with Mankato! St. Cloud is...

You're right on about about Dahlman not letting the game come to him. Regarding their supporting casts, I actually thought Braham had better players. They...
Alan Holst read through our (Marc and my) manuscript on Minnesota basketball and did an excellent analysis. He picked out some things that need to be...
