Souhan; Gopher MBB Did Great with Tough Schedule [PODCAST] The Gopher men's basketball team improved to 11-4 overall and 4-4 in the Big Ten after a 75-57 win over #7 Michigan Saturday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the 8 game start to the Big Ten season was gauntlet for the Gophers with 8 ranked opponents in a row. Jim says to come out of it 4-4 in the conference sets them up nicely for the remaining 10 games on their conference schedule.
The NFL is down to its final 4 after 4 Divisional playoff games this past weekend. Jim says there are many Minnesota connections with the games played. He says Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski is a longtime for Vikings assistant coach, Bills receiver Stefon Diggs is a former Viking, and the Buccaneers have a pair of former Gophers in receiver Tyler Johnson and safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
