Cool. Next season we can go there with Rashad Vaughn and beat them there, then make popcorn and watch the epic meltdowns at the goopher hole.
We had a home/home series with Minny in the recent past. Don't have any problems doing it again. We have beaten Minnesota that last 3 times we faced them.
They beat us in Hilton Brackens freshman year
Would rather play Illinois or Wisconsin. Even Michigan State, Indiana or Purdue would be better. Minnesota is boring and wouldn't do anything for ISU's RPI.
1971 the first game in Hilton was Minn. vs ISU We lost that night. Maury John coached. Yes I was there
I saw Travis Hines/Marcus Fuller/Doogie Wolfen tweeting last night about the possibiliy of ISU playing Minnesota as a non conference game yearly. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Football but it appears ISU is in for basketball, Just waiting to get a response from powers for the U of M.
I'm all for it... More exposure for Fred in Minnesota with a lot of targets that can get to the barn. Though I could see Richard trying to avoid this senerio.
I saw it was being discussed on Gopherhole and I thought it was interesting.
Interesting Twitter back and forth between M.Fuller and T.Hines on Minnesota vs ISU
- Travis Hines @TravisHines21
- @GophersNow I'm with you, but with the way ISU is attempting to recruit up there I think it's a long shot.

Nothing to gain for Hoiberg “@TravisHines21: I'm with you, but with the way ISU is attempting to recruit up there I think it's a long shot.”

Wolfson @DarrenWolfson Follow You got me thinking, @GophersNow & @TravisHines21, so I just checked. Word is the #Gophers need to say yes. ISU in on board for next year

@GophersNow Thinking the other way around. Would Pitino let ISU say "You'll play at home at least once" or let ISU get exposure in MPLS?

Heard again that #Cyclones will say yes to a hoops series starting next year. Silence thus far on #Gophers side. Logistics never easy.

I would love home and homes with Illinois or Indiana.
We'd fill Williams with half Cyclone fans.
