Structurally, there's a team in college basketball that is very similar to the Gophers.

Missouri uses a four-guard lineup and lost significant contributors to 1) a transfer and 2) an ACL tear Of course, there's a pretty big difference too.

In today's Star Tribune, I take a look at just how the Tigers have taken that formula and made it so successful.
