With Trevor Mbakwe again leading the way, the Gophers simply overwhelmed Penn State.

Dont see any get rid of Tubby people today. I dont know what made the difference in the last two games, but the team played like they liked each other and enjoyed the game... KEEP IT UP !!!

Nice win for the four seniors to remember a blowout. But what an ugly game. 11 total points in the first 9 and a half minutes of the first half. 47 total fouls. 14 for 24 free throw shooting for the Gophers. Every time that officiating crew is involved in a Gopher game it is a terrible game to watch. The Big Ten has to look at some of these officiating crews. But a win is a win!

That team on the other bench is really awful. Don't get carried away with this win, please.

Nice big win. There were not enough of these kinds of games this year. Should have been a lot more. Couple key points: 1)Too bad we did not play PSU 2x this yr. 2)I wish we could have done this to NW 2x this yr. 3)Good to see the seniors play well. I actually liked seeing Coleman on the bench. He kills me with his invisible play. 4)Everybody got some ice time. Love it.

I'm a fire Tubby guy. I run a Facebook page devoted to it (Minnesota Fire Tubby Smith). Where were all the Tubby lovers the last 2 seasons, and before these last 2 games? Yea, that's what I thought. Today was senior day, and name me a senior that got better under his coaching. We've never finished above 6th in the Big Ten, even with this talented underachieving team. Tubby is around 46-60 in the Big Ten. So yea Tubby is great if below average is satisfactory for you

Hey steavis, instead of namecalling, how about addressing the core of his argument? Namely, we haven't seen a lot of player development in the past 5 years. As for the game: great aggressive play, felt good, didn't it, Gophers? And your hair hasn't fallen out, either, has it. So unless it does, let's see that same kind of play for the remainder of the season!!!

Where in the World was this team a week ago? Is this the real Minnesota Gophers? Or are they an imposter?

Not a fun game to watch--mostly because PSU was so bad. How in the world did they beat Michigan? Still, it was fun to see the seniors play well and go out with a win. They should beat Nebraska easily. Purdue should be an interesting game. Tourney time could be exciting.
