Golden Gopher Baseball: High-Stakes Tournament Play and Shocking Upsets!

This week saw the likely end of a pair of winter sports seasons for the Minnesota Golden Gophers as the Men’s Hockey team and the men’s basketball team both fell in conference tournament action. The men’s hockey season is officially over, however there is a small chance the men’s basketball team could end up in some version of postseason action depending on what teams accept bids, etc. We will see the end of the indoor track and field season this weekend with the NCAA Championships, and women’s hockey has now reached win or done time as they host the NCAA Quarterfinal this Saturday.

As things wind down, others pick up as Gopher Baseball open Big Ten action this weekend. Here is a full list of all the Minnesota Gophers events this weekend and how you can watch. Friday March 13th: Softball vs Iowa State @ Missouri Noon The Gopher softball team will face a field of Power 4 schools this weekend beginning with a game against Iowa State at the University of Missouri at Noon on Friday.
