Have we ever spent the amount of money on a basketball coach that Eric Musselman would have commanded? Remember Coyle fired Tracy Claeys after what was a pretty good football season because he had the opportunity to get PJ Fleck. If we had the money to pay Musselman, and he had interest in...

Andy Enfield might leave USC for SMU. Saw speculation that Eric Musselman could then end up at USC

Why all the self-serious replies? It seemed to me the whole premise of a thread is a joke, that being the context-less statement that Minnesota lasted longer in the post-season than one of the most prestigious programs in the sport, Kentucky. Obviously making the tournament is better than not...

Illinois up 1 at halftime. Is yet another Underwood Illinois team going to flame out in the tournament? One regular season title and two B1G Tournament titles, but Underwood hasn’t made a Sweet Sixteen yet.

Good info. Hopefully this will keep people from freaking out when we don't have 3 transfer commitments by April 1st, but we'll see. I remember the meltdown when Jack Wilson committed, under the assumption that no one who committed after him would be any good.

It does look like they've made some effort to keep things regional. Outside of a first round game at Iowa, Butler is probably one of the closest teams to us. Other matchups are Richmond at Virginia Tech, Kansas State at Iowa, Appalachian State at Wake Forest, Boston College at Providence, and...

#1 for Yale is Danny Wolf. Averaged nearly 15 points and 10 rebounds this year for Yale while shooting 36% from deep as a 7 footer. He took an official visit to Minnesota out of high school.

They should put one of their black players from the last decade on those billboards, ya know, for diversity.

We can drop the CBI talk. When it comes to football, and angry fans start ranting on the message board about how the Gophers should turn down the Quick Lane Bowl out of pride, and everything sucks, and our team is terrible or whatever, I roll my eyes. With the exception of 2020 and COVID, I'm...

Looking at All Big Ten honors for the whole conference, it appears every team has one player get a sportsmanship award, and it seems like it mostly doesn't go to star players, and maybe not even starters. Parker Fox was a high energy bench guy who overcame injury troubles, so maybe they give it...

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but this feels like a needlessly snotty comment about a college athlete, one who is really having a great season.

Over a third of these players didn't have offers from the Gophers. Dain Dainja had academic concerns out of high school, so the Gophers backed off. We backed off of Daniel Freitag several months before he committed to Wisconsin, since we prioritized Isaac Asuma as our point guard prospect, and...

I'd say maybe receiving votes to start the season if everyone returns. 2017-18 might be the only season I've seen as a fan where we were in the preseason top 25, and that was coming off a 4th place finish in the Big Ten, a 5 seed in the NCAA tournament, returning first team All Big Ten Nate...

Our reasonable best case scenario is probably getting the 5 seed via a 4-way tie with (4) Wisconsin, (6) Michigan State, and (7) Northwestern. This requires Northwestern to lose to Michigan State (and Minnesota obviously). Even if we get a two-way tie with MSU, MSU is ahead of us with their...

I didn't realize Owen Freeman has been Big Ten freshman of the week 9 times, then I think John Blackwell from Wisconsin has won it 3 times, and Mackenzie Mgbako and Cam Christie twice each. I'd love to see Christie win it, but I wonder if Freeman already has it wrapped up.
