Embarrassing... Didn't think it would be a great year... but SD? Unacceptable.

Now the Gophers get to play the good South Dakota team on Tuesday.
I'm not complaining that they're screwing us. I'm just complaining that they are calling it way, way too tight.
Just a disgusting performance by the Gophers. Losing a 6 point lead in overtime is inexcusable. I predicted their would be an ugy home court non-conference loss this year, but this shocked me. Essentially you had 3 chances to beat South Dakota (40 min game and then two 5 min games) and couldn't get it done. I didn't understand why the Gophers were taking 3's late in regulation when a)they hadn't made one all half and b) were in the double bonus and were getting to the line at will. In both overtimes, it was beyond ridiculous that they couldn't get a single stop with the lead in the closing minute of the first or second OT. They (including the coaches) deserved every bit of this loss.
The positive is we are one more bad loss closer to getting rid of Pitino.
So you predicted a loss like this but it still shocked you?
They will lose another home non conference game, my guess is 8-5 in the non-conf and 3-13 to 5-13 in the big ten. This is a really really sad state in year 3. His seat is going to be really hot heading into next year, combine the team has gotten worse each year he has been here and a new ad hard to see him making it past next year without a tournament appearance. Looking more and more like hired a name and not a coach, not to mention the person who hired him.
x2 Next year is the big year and with the transfers and incoming freshman we could be very good.Good idea, get rid of Pitino and risk Coffey decommitting and Murphy transfering. Pitino will have at least next year to prove himself. This was always going to be a down year given what we lost.

Hell get next year but hard to see how the program will be tournament ready next year. This is the worse team since Monsons last year. The center position is in the worse shape of my 30 years of being a fan.
