The Star Tribune's Jim Paulsen and David La Vaque discuss what it means when the Raiders, producers of pro-level talent in the past despite a smaller enrollment than the state's biggest schools, are no longer competitive in that narrowing top echelon. They also talk basketball players to root for in Tre Holloman and Will Tschetter, COVID still rippling through winter sports and a girls' basketball battle of teams with long winning streaks.
