I agree with what we saw last year...the Gophers were coached way above their roster talents. But, roster construction is part of coaching, as well. The accomplishments of the 13 coaches ahead of Niko make it tough to move him higher. For instance, when Musselman was at Arkansas, I thought...

Ya, nobody will play us...come on man! One example...Iowa ... 2nd year Ben McCollum Virginia Tech - Sioux City Creighton in Des Moines AT Xavier Iowa St Home Alabama in Des Moines The Gophers have SMU...okay Virginia Tech is a sleeper but it's 5 quality opponents with two geographic rivals and...

Well, they must have more money, more prestige or something? They are 11 spots higher in recruiting ranking versus the Gophers. They have 9 Four Stars to our 4. Their average recruit is over 2 points higher which is a lot...89.58 to 87.37. They recruit well every year...they play mediocre...

100%

How many of you guys were aware Niko hosts Jeopardy during the summer? :rolleyes:

They have a NCAA Tournament in D2 as well. He's 2 for 2 at DI. Brings Theodore Roosevelt to mind: President Theodore Roosevelt's quote: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." It's an empowering reminder to focus on resourcefulness and immediate action rather than waiting for...

I agree Coleman isn't Stirtz but I also don't feel like Iowa is counting on him to be that. He'll run the offense, play defense and be better for Ben than he was at Illinois State. Iowa has a bunch of shooters and a bunch of guys who played 31 games last year. Despite how they finished, Ben...

Well, he is 450 and 108 for 80.6 winning percentage. He lost 31 of those 108 losses in his first two years of coaching and 13 last year at Iowa....almost half of his losses in three years over 17 years total. He goes to the NCAA tournament annually - 12 straight times. Finishing 9th was...

Okay...somebody play oddsmaker... I'll start, seems like we have a 25% chance. :)

Iowa and Wisconsin have the same value. Yes, Wisconsin finds a way to finish top 4 the majority of the time...I agree, but Ben McCollum has an even better track record and he has 10 players returning to the program. I know Stirtz is/was big but McCollum really likes his transfer...

On this list above we are 4th...seems maybe we could be higher on Fan Duel's Team Futures NCAA Basketball Championship Winner Odds: Michigan $750 Illinois $1600 Michigan St $2500 USC $4000 Indiana $6500 Purdue $6500 UCLA $8000 Iowa $10,000 Ohio St $10,000 Nebraska $10,000 Maryland $10,000...

Old video - personality and skills.

I see those eyes looking at me and I'm going in the house too! Menacing looking dude.

That would suck!!! Pick the Gophers! But, my gosh if you are going to choose someone else...not the Wisconsin Badgers. Reading this...I thought about throwing up...
