AMAYA BATTLE. AT THE BUZZER. ❄️🏀
​With just 0.8 seconds on the clock and the game tied at 63, our hometown hero Amaya Battle stayed ice-cold. She took the inbound, created space, and drained a 13-foot fadeaway to send No. 19 Ole Miss home and the Gophers to the SWEET 16! This is our first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2005, and doing it on our home floor makes it that much sweeter. From Mara Braun’s clutch triples to keep us in it, to Battle’s historic dagger, this team proved they belong on the national stage.
​Minnesota isn't just a hockey state—we are a basketball powerhouse. Next stop: Sacramento! ✈️

❄️ HEARTS OF ICE, NERVES OF STEEL.
​Could there be a more intense battle in the West?! 🏒
​Last night’s showdown at Ball Arena was an absolute roller coaster. The Minnesota Wild went toe-to-toe with the Avalanche in a heavyweight division clash that proved exactly why this rivalry is the best in hockey.
​Despite a massive performance from Jesper Wallstedt between the pipes (34 saves!) and a clutch power-play goal from Kirill Kaprizov, we fell just short in a 3-2 shootout heartbreaker. Seeing Nico Sturm net that short-handed beauty had us all out of our seats, but Nathan MacKinnon unfortunately found the magic for Colorado in the end.
​Even though we didn't get the extra point, leaving Denver with a point against a top contender shows this Wild team is ready for a deep playoff run. The grit is there, the talent is undeniable, and the State of Hockey is LOUD. 🗣️
​📊 Quick Stats:
​Score: COL 3, MIN 2 (SO)
​Wild Goals: Kaprizov (PPG), Sturm (SHG)
​Wallstedt: 34 saves (.944 SV%)
​Next Up: Back home at Grand Casino Arena to face the Utah Mammoth!
​WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 👇
How are we feeling about the performance last night? Was Wallstedt the MVP of the game, or did Sturm’s shorty steal the show?

Tori McKinney Drops 20 as Gophers Rout Northwestern! 🏀🔥
​The Barn was rocking last night as the University of Minnesota Women’s Basketball team reminded the Big Ten exactly what "Home Court Advantage" looks like. After a tough road stint, the Gophers returned to Williams Arena on January 8th and absolutely dismantled Northwestern in a 79-47 masterclass.
​The headline of the night? Tori McKinney. The sophomore guard was on an absolute tear, pouring in 18 of her season-high 20 points in the first half alone. By the time the halftime buzzer sounded, Minnesota held a staggering 30-point lead (48-18). It wasn't just a win; it was a statement.
​The Breakdown:
​The McKinney Show: Tori set the tone early, outscoring the entire Wildcats team for much of the first half.
​Bench Strength: Our depth showed out with 28 points coming from the bench, including double-digit contributions from Sophie Hart and Brylee Glenn.
​Glass Cleaners: The Gophers dominated the boards, outrebounding Northwestern 47-27.
​Lockdown Defense: Minnesota forced 16 turnovers, stifling Northwestern’s rhythm from the jump.
​Coach Dawn Plitzuweit’s squad moves to 11-4 (2-2 B1G), and if they keep playing with this level of offensive flow and defensive grit, the rest of the Big Ten better take notice.
​MN Sports & Lifestyle Fan Check: 🗣️
The energy in Williams Arena is unmatched right now! Who was your Player of the Game? Are we seeing a breakout season for McKinney?

​If you’re not at Williams Arena, you’re missing the loudest night of the year! The Gophers just proved that Rankings. Don't. Matter. in the 612. 〽️💪
​In an absolute Big Ten slugfest, Minnesota just took down #19 Iowa 70-67 in a game that had everything. We jumped out to a 14-point lead, survived a massive Hawkeye rally in the final minutes, and stayed tough under pressure to seal the upset.
​Langston Reynolds was the definition of "HIM" tonight, dropping a massive 22 points, while Cade Tyson added 16 to keep the momentum swinging our way. When Iowa took a one-point lead with just over a minute left, the Gophers didn't blink. A clutch Jaylen Crocker-Johnson 3 and some massive free throws from Isaac Asuma secured the W.

​Last night in Ann Arbor, the Maroon & Gold went toe-to-toe with #9 Michigan in a physical Big Ten battle. While the final score (70-60) didn't swing our way, Grace Grocholski and Mara Braun combined for a massive 36 points, proving that this squad can hang with the top 10 any day of the week. 😤

What a nail-biter! The Minnesota Timberwolves fought hard but fell just short against the Sacramento Kings, losing 116-114 at Target Center. 🌟 Naz Reid led the charge with a season-high 30 points, including 16 in the first quarter, while Jaden McDaniels added 22 points.. Anthony Edwards chipped in with 21 points, but it wasn't enough to secure the win.

Despite the loss, the Wolves showed resilience, battling back from a 12-point deficit to briefly take the lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the Kings had an answer every time, with Malik Monk scoring 26 points and making crucial plays down the stretch.

It's tough to see the Wolves lose, especially at home, but there were definitely some bright spots. Let's keep the momentum going and support our team as they prepare for their next game against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday!
