Gopher Not Making the Grade: Minnesota head coach Don Monson has suspended sophomore guard Rico Tucker for academic reasons. Apparently Tucker performed poorly on mid-term exams, and Monson indicated that after a conversation with Tucker and his father, that the young guard will be spending practice time studying. Tucker averaged 5.8 points per game as a freshman last season, playing in all 32 games. Former Gophers Joel Przybilla (in 2000) and Kris Collins (2002) were also both suspended for poor academic performance on Monson’s watch. [11/01/05]

Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
