Tubby Smith says he’s staying at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers coach says he’s working on a contract extension that will keep him in Minneapolis long-term despite speculation he could take another job after the season. Smith made his comments Thursday after Minnesota was eliminated from the Big Ten tournament with a 75-65 loss to Northwestern. The Gophers have lost 10 of 11 games and their NCAA tournament hopes took a big hit with their latest loss.
