Believe it or not, it’s that time of year for basketball players, too.
When Blake Hoffarber left Saturday’s game with an ankle injury early in the second half, it looked like the latest injury to a key Gophers player wouldn’t even be bittersweet.
The Gophers proved they can play with teams better than Concordia-St. Paul and Eastern Washington on Tuesday, beating Virginia in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
For Gophers fans, Tuesday night was something to get excited about.
After opening the season 6-0, they play Virginia, their toughest game of the season so far, tonight at Williams Arena.
