  • Good job but keep things shorter

    Thx for filling the goph bb void but Hit on a subject, give the facts and keep from droning on and on and on about some distant tangent. It turns out to be dribble that we don’t need to hear. I don’t want to hear about you “loving a reversible jersey”. STOP WITH THE DRIBBLE

  • Love the podcast

    I can’t believe it took me this long to leave a review and say this: I need more Gopher basketball content in my life. I sat through wayyyyy too much Minnesota road construction without listening to more about Gopher basketball. But seriously I appreciate the inside information, breakdown of players and coaching, updates on recruits, and anything and everything.

  • Can’t get enough TGB!

    I grew up and played HS ball with Luke, so naturally I was inclined to give this a listen their first year. Bringing MN’s best (not debatable) HS and Gopher Hoops resource into the pod (RJ himself) helps to solidify this as the best podcast for Minnesota Hoops junkies. Wish they’d do it more often, but hey, we all have day jobs! Luke and Ryan do a great job! If you love Gopher basketball and like to be in the loop on recruiting tidbits, subscribe folks! RJ/Luke, let me know if you ever need some... more
