Niko Medved returns to U with advantages over Ben Johnson

1 week ago | startribune.com | Patrick Reusse

Ben Johnson was 40 and had not been a head coach when he was hired to lead the Gophers men's basketball program in late March 2021. Johnson, a former Gophers player, was replacing Richard Pitino. Johnson had split with Pitino as an assistant coach in 2018. Now, Pitino was being dismissed after a 6-14 Big Ten record that was his seventh losing conference season among eight at Minnesota.

Rudy Perpich was our governor with many dreams to make this a greater state to both reside and to visit. In that task, Perpich was in the 1980s picking up at the airport a guest with the capital to make a large investment here. As they drove, the radio was turned to 1500 on the AM dial. Impersonators were calling a show titled "Monday Night Sports Talk," and one of the cohosts, Joe Soucheray, was moved to his trademark laughter that mimicked a quacking duck.

MINNEAPOLIS - This was more than 90 minutes before the Lynx and the Los Angeles Sparks would have a noon tipoff at Target Center. The WNBA game was scheduled to be televised nationally on CBS. There were 15 girls, maybe ages 10 to 13, ready to make a left turn from the skyway to the arena entry. The youngsters were wearing T-shirts saluting their basketball team, and they couldn't have been more excited to be there to see their heroes:Copyright 2025 Tribune Content Agency.

Carter Reckelberg turns jumping and running into a state title for Becker

There are two runways and pits to serve participants in the long jump and triple jump at the St. Michael-Albertville High School athletic complex. They are located behind a fence, at the scoreboard end of the Knights' football and track facility. These horizontal leapers being somewhat isolated as competitors serves a long-held belief when it comes to track and field. For sure, all of this competition is extremely objective with very little influence from the officials.
Delano baseball team returns to state under coach Toby Hanson

As for pristine playing conditions, those also will be impressive to the young athletes - although perhaps not a dramatic upgrade for the Delano Tigers were they to make a run to the Class 3A title game. It was midafternoon Tuesday, and the No. 4-seeded Tigers were about to start arriving for a final practice. They will meet No. 5 Grand Rapids (a state tourney regular) late Wednesday afternoon at Jordan's Mini Met, another gem of a ballyard that's hard to beat.
Once-formidable Twins starting rotation vulnerable without L√≥pez

An old-timer from rural Minnesota in a MAGA hat making his first appearance of this season at Target Field had to feel a bit uncomfortable Saturday. First of all, he probably would be grousing after the discovery that it now costs $25 on game day to park in the ramps with the most convenient access to the ballpark.
Jim Marshall was always 'a country boy just looking for something to do'

By Patrick Reusse "My longest throw was 172 feet, 11 ½ inches," he said. "With this."Marshall produced a worn discus with a chipped, yellow center that was next to his chair in the TV den. The 60-year-old discus fits in his right hand as comfortably as Marshall fits in that favorite chair. He was a few days short of his 80th birthday (on Dec. 30) when a reporter showed up at the St. Louis Park home owned by Jim and his wife, Susan.
As Caswell Park does itself proud, a hometown team runs hard into a challenge

MANKATO - The population of Mankato and its companion, North Mankato, has gone past 60,000, and there was more evidence Wednesday that those burgs got it going when it comes to the sporting life down here. Not at Caswell. There are six fields sprouting from a central location, and games - championship round, consolation round - were being played continuously from 8:30 in the morning.
