===Basketball=== {{main|Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball|Minnesota Golden Gophers women's basketball}} [[File:Williams arena ent.JPG|thumb|The Golden Gophers have played basketball home games in [[Williams Arena]] since 1928.]] The Golden Gophers men's basketball team has won two [[Helms Athletic Foundation#National championship selections|National Championships]], two [[National Invitation Tournament]] (NIT) Championships, and eight Big Ten Regular Season Championships.
