After not being on the podcast for 3 years, Jess Myers made his return! We got quite a bit in to the new 3×3 format after the 1st overtime in league play. We also hit Jess up on his thoughts on the state of the program at Minnesota. Specifically how empty Mariucci has become. And…
Minneapolis, MN – A pair of ties at home to The Ohio State University would once have been considered an abomination of a result for the Gophers. Times have changed.
