Amid the all the Minnesota Gophers and Amaya Battle toxic banter, I’d like to remind folks of a few things you may not know or may have forgotten.

The squad’s four starters are from Minnesota. The same Minnesota that suffered the ICE invasion. The same Minnesota where two US citizens were m**dered by agents of the government. The same Minnesota where ICE agents were housed just blocks away from Williams Arena (The Barn) which attracted nightly protests as a result.

And despite all the chaos, all the possible distractions, they balled out leading the team to one of its best seasons in decades and a Sweet 16 berth.

ICYMI: This is an appreciation blog post celebrating the team on Senior Day.

Side Note: According to Amaya’s dad, she has the stomach flu on the day she made that signature game-winning shot. #amayabattle #minnesota #minnesotagoldengophers #basketball #wcbb #ncaaw #womenssports #twincities #ice #basketballplayers

Oh Latto…Why? If you haven’t heard, rapper Latto is very big with baby. The daddy is believed to be fellow rapper 21 Savage who may or may not be married but definitely has three children. Neither Latto nor 21 Savage have confirmed that they are in a relationship…Hope Latto is not going to be singing the Baby Mama Blues. *Sigh*. Here’s Latto looking at good NY Fashion Week

This is a Jazzy Davidson appreciation post. The USC freshman guard gave it her all in a NCAA Championship second round game against the other USC. Like always, Jessy was gracious even on defeat. Here’s Jazzy earlier this season after a loss to Minnesota which resulted in USC dropping out of the AP Top 25 never to return. #usc #jazzydavidson #ncaaw #wcbb #womenscollegebasketball #usctrojans

We’ve lost another legend. Donald Sutherland, Emmy Award-winning actor and honorary Oscar recipient, and father of actor Kiefer Sutherland, has passed away at age 88.

The Canadian-born actor whose career spanned over 60 years is widely known for roles in iconic movies such as MASH, Ordinary People and Citizen X.

My favorite Donald Sutherland movies are: Ordinary People, Klute (both co-starring Jane Fonda) and Six Degrees of Separation.

What are yours?

R.I.P. Donald Sutherland. My condolences to Kiefer and his family.

Will there be a parade inside the city of Minneapolis? Minnesota Timberwolves fans hope the answer is, “Yes.”

Before we start breaking out the confetti, we…I mean the Wolves, will have to make it through the gauntlet that is the Western Conference Finals by defeating formidable opponent Dallas Mavericks and their dynamic duo of Kyrie and Luka.

Recently, I decided to take a look at the visual impact that the Wolves have had on downtown Minneapolis.

Wolves in 6!
