"Fall League Review: Top Players from MCA vs Mpls Roosevelt" We review the MCA vs Roosevelt action from the recent Breakdown Fall League game @NorthstarHoops prephoops.com/2026/11/fall-l…

"The Little Eight Preview" The best team in the league last season was Hillcrest Lutheran Academy. They were undefeated in league play and 22-6 overall. What happens this year? Can Hancock and Underwood take home the title? @NorthstarHoops prephoops.com/2026/11/the-li…

Malick Kordel, the 7'2/290 pound Gopher center that scored 6 times last night..... I feel its important for fans to know, because of the new NCAA rules, Kordel is considered a senior. Malick has this year and next year to play college hoops and then his time has expired.

"Section 1AA: Rushford-Peterson is the statewide sleeper" The Trojans are a 25 win caliber team that is going to cause trouble for the league and section. We talk about the top Trojans and other sleepers in 1AA! @NorthstarHoops prephoops.com/2026/11/sectio…

"Top Five Takeaways from Minnesota's 85-50 win over North Dakota" @Minnesota247 breaks down the Minnesota victory over North Dakota on opening night. Why did #Gophers dominate? We explain! 247sports.com/college/minnes…

Minnesota beats UND 85-50. Minnesota had five guys in double figures led by the 16 points of Bobby Durkin Gophers had 29 assists on 34 makes, Grayson Grove and Isaac Asuma each with 6 assists Minnesota held UND to 29 percent shooting (17 of 59)

Cedric Tomes vs Jayden Moore right now. I feel like I have seen these guys play each other at keast once a year every year since I turned 40

Maleck Kordel now has five scores, four dunks and the last one was a one-dribble, two-hand aggressive flush as the UND defense parted ways. Kordel loves playing the Summit, five field goals in each game against that league so far

The #Gophers are on a 12-0 run against UND at the same time they went on the first half run. Maleck Kordel highlighted the run with two physical throw down finishes. UND is 9 of 37 from the field (1 of 19 at the arc) with 10 turnovers.

When you look at what the starting Wings did for the Gophers and UND you can see the difference in the game.... Asuma/Durkin: 18 points on 7-10fg, 6rbs, 4ast, 3blck Kraft/Wagner: 3 points on 0-10fg, 5rbs, 0 assists

Minnesota is up 41-25 on UND at the break Bobby Durkin has four threes for 12 points ans Minnesota has shot 7 of 16 at the arc. Isaac Asuma has 6 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks in half one. Gophers have 13 assists on 15 makes

Jayden Moore has had a really nice half for North Dakota scoring going to the rim four times. His late scores got UND up to 8 of 32 shooting for the half

This has to be the most humid it's ever been in The Barn for a men's basketball game

How is the Minnesota Defense doing? Completely Locked In. UND is 3 of 25 from the floor shooting 1 of 14 at the arc and they have six turnovers.

Gophers are up 32-13 on UND. Bobby Durkin is really getting the better of his match-up with Tyler Wagner as Durkin is 3 for 3 at the arc and his defense has led to Wagner shooting 0 for 6

Paul Sather saw his team getting tired and took a timeout to try and protect against a run. However, the UND defense has went from great, to chasing in confusion as the Gophers are on a 14-2 run scoring at the rim constantly.

Former Hopkins standout Jayden Moore is on the floor out of the timeout for UND. Jayden's college debut, right in his hometown

Gophers up 6-3 on UND after 4.5 minutes. Both teams have given outstanding defensive efforts on the ball, on screens and definitely busting tail in recovery. Few quality shots in paint yet for either team.
