(The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Introduction: In a jam-packed episode, host Michael Rand looks at the dismal Timberwolves perimeter defense after another loss to Portland. These are the times when the Wolves miss Patrick Beverley, whether they want to admit it or not.

4:00: The Twins signed a new catcher, Christian Vazquez, to shore up what became an overlooked weakness last season.

8:00: The Vikings are at a crossroads on defense, with coach Kevin O'Connell offering a tepid endorsement of coordinator Ed Donatell. Andrew Krammer will help Rand break that down.

32:00: A new Gophers volleyball coach.
