Congrats on a job well done!
As I've already stated, UConn is already in the B1G--it's just that some haven't gotten the memo yet--so I consider the Gophers NIT win and UConn's Championship as a B1G sweep.
Hey, Minnesota alum & native here. No I'm not a Gopher hoops fan, in large part because of their complicated history, esp off court issues that I've endured since 1977, so I'm a Spartan fan, but I do root for all other Gopher sports - Ski-U-Mah. I especially attend volleyball, wrestling and hockey games.
I'm also for UConn to the BIG and have started to see a trend with BIG fans to bring them in, esp those who care more about basketball and hockey. Don't be afraid to state your case at FranktheTank, which is held hostage by BIG traditionalists stuck on football, vodoo economics, and AAU status. AAU status earned, the question with UConn is a case of "When?" CT, after all, has better k-12 education than Mn, and that's saying a lot. They also continue to sink state dollars into UConn, which is often debated in Minnesota.
PS: We got a big game against are real arch rival on Thursday. I hope Lucia and company can get no. 6 this year, esp in epic fashion against BC and of course at UND's expense.
