A real home and home series! LFG!
Go Gophers!!
Go Gophers!!
I’m still a little skeptical. Way too many bottom feeders on the schedule this year. Glad for the power 4 upgrade though.This is great! Cinci has 12 transfers coming in with the coaching change (Jarred Calhoun from Utah St). I hope we face them early.
The non-con is a modest upgrade from last year (IMO) and far better than what we got 2 or 3 years ago.
This is pretty good. You have the two tournaments which will produce some solid opponents, then the game in Sioux Falls and now the Cincy games. It's not MSUs schedule yet but this is a serious upgrade. Then add that we are playing a game against Creighton and I feel this team will be ready for Big Ten play. Coach Medved is showing some confidence in the team he has assembled.I’m still a little skeptical. Way too many bottom feeders on the schedule this year. Glad for the power 4 upgrade though.
That's why I said "modest" lol. I think OK St. will be solid this year, and there's a good chance we'll get them in Charleston. They'll for sure be in our bracket. But yeah, maxing out at three or four Quad 4s would be ideal in future years.I’m still a little skeptical. Way too many bottom feeders on the schedule this year. Glad for the power 4 upgrade though.

If you look at the schedule in 2023/2024, you will feel much better.
Plus the SMU neutral site game and UST at home (at least more interesting that a standard cupcake game).This is pretty good.

[/QUOTSeems kinda hard to trust any sort of T-ranking in the preseason with all the roster movement, I'm guessing they do their best to comb together everybody's individual rankings, but as Musselman has been learning in his last year at Arkansas and first two years at USC you never know how it will come together chemistry wise. If I'm not mistaken Cincinnati pretty much gutted their whole team, but saw they added Kobe King who I believe Pitino had here for a visitI'm not analyzing it in depth but this might be our toughest non conference opponent. Very pleased with the Cincinnati addition to the schedule and home and home is a very nice surprise!
Torvik has Cincy at #39...Gophers #79
