Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included another letdown by the Timberwolves, a natural hat trick for Kirill Kaprizov and more bad news for the Gophers men's basketball team.

With a difficult schedule ahead, Reusse and Rand decide the Wolves won't even make the play-in, and they speculate on Karl-Anthony Towns' future.

Meanwhile, Kaprizov saved the Wild on Sunday and has them in contention not just for a playoff spot but a division title.

And with the loss of top recruit Dennis Evans, where do Ben Johnson's Gophers go from here?
