Minnesota Basketball: Previewing Omaha

Folks, we’re here. It’s time to start the season. I know the sour taste of last year’s death march through the arid wastelands of January and February is still in our mouths, but we need to do our best to rinse it out with some New Season Mouthwash and get to work.

And guess what? Everyone is healthy. Our coach definitely isn’t on the hot seat, and we have our star player on the Naismith Award watch list. The world is our oyster.

The Gophers start it off easy with a season opener against Omaha, who is expected to finish near the bottom of the Summit League this year.
