Status: offline 		Depends on how your roster is constructed. The Gophers have a major issue to overcome with the absolute lack of an inside game. Especially on defense. They have to win scoring marathons as a result. That is hard to do with only 2 players scoring in double digits.

Why can't they trade up?

To trade up they would have to part with either Maya Moore or Sylvia Fowles and that just isn't going to happen. Whalen, Brunson and Augustus are too old to be attractive to a team picking at #3.

Been a while since the boys have had one of those.

1997

Which really doesn't exist, but it did, for Bobby Jackson.

Minnesota's Rachel Banham just edged Georgia Tech's Adam Smith in the head-to-head of men's and women's shootout champs.

Evanston police are investigating, but the school said in a statement there was no evidence of foul play. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says an autopsy is scheduled Tuesday and results would be available in the afternoon.

The Wildcats' game Wednesday at Minnesota has been canceled.
