After the Gophers rallied to beat Wisconsin Thursday night, coach Tubby Smith addressed this team:

"Today is a wonderful day, fellas," he started. "Valentine's Day!

"Hit it!"

Then, this happened.

(Don't turn away until you see Trevor Mbakwe's entrance -- and do NOT look for Elliott Eliason in the state Dance Team competition this weekend.)

You think CBS will be with the Gophers when NCAA bids are announced?
