Good morning,
Information shapes the course of history, crazy style. It only took a lie from Themistocles to disrupt the supply chains of Xerxes’ Grand Army, one of the largest armies ever. Don’t be like Xerxes — take note of these key reports.

Head coach Brad Frost was notably emotional in the postgame presser after Saturday’s loss to Northeastern. When asked about where the emotion was coming from, he pointed to how much pride he has in coaching at Minnesota.
“I think it’s mainly coaching this group and just what this program means to me,” Frost said. “I just love coaching here and with this program.”
Three days later, the University of Minnesota announced his time with the program would be coming to an end. The decision followed their loss against Northeastern University in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. The loss extended their seven-year streak of missing the title game.
