Happy February, we’ll have baseball games every
month until December.
I won’t even dignify the NHL insiders who say the North Star colors could be coming back to St. Paul full time. Cut the cord, it’s been 30 years. But boy a 30-year anniversary would be a reason to do it.
Story of the week is a 22-year-old assistant coach impersonating a 13-year-old JV player on the team. Watch the video, she could have at least made it look not so obvious. The team won’t play any more games this season.

Wolves Let One Slip
In a conference where No. 3 through 13 is going to flop nightly (six games separate those 11 teams), the Wolves may look back on Monday’s 118-111 overtime home loss to Sacramento as one that got away. Minnesota led at one point by double digits, took a three-point lead into the fourth yet couldn’t pull it out in overtime after Sacramento big man Domantas Sabonis fouled out.
Little doubt left without KAT (more on him soon) that this is ANT’s team. Another 33 points for the point guard. Help around him? Not so much, at least not from D-Lo, who had a rare off night (4-for-16 from the field for 10 points)
Karl-Anthony Towns was hurt two months ago, with an original prognosis of being out 4-6 weeks. So at 8, where is he? Towns was still wearing a boot this weekend, Bring Me The News reports. His injury was actually a Grade 3 calf strain, which could put his return sometime around the All-Star Break in late February.
Minnesota hosts the defending champion Warriors tonight. Just a half game separates them in the standings, although Golden State has won three straight.
Gopher Hoops Tonight
Gopher men’s hoops at Rutgers tonight. The women take on No. 4/5 Indiana at Williams Arena - won’t be pretty. Hoosiers feature Gopher transfer and Stillwater native Sara Scalia.
Gopher VB Picks Up Reigning Defensive Player of the Year
Gophers’ new head volleyball coach Keegan Cook wasted no time in the transfer portal, picking up Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Kylie Murr from Ohio State. Cook will do her graduate/fifth year with the Gophers.
Murr leaves the Buckeyes as the school’s all-time leader in digs.
