I for one like Ben Johnson a lot. I think he is much better than Pitino who seemed likeable but was a terrible coach. Ben gets better every year.

Minnesota wins it with ...... FREETHROWS!!!

Well we'll all have to donate to the NIL to make that happen.

yes

The refs called 2x as many fouls on us and we had 2 guys foul out and 4 play the whole game with foul trouble

This is true...we had 2x as many fouls as they did...horrible reffing

It was worth getting peacock....

We write like Ben can't manage his roster. He has consistently recruited under the radar guys who turn out great or long after he offered them, get noticed by better teams. He's had to deal with injuries in the past but because he has depth this year, he hasn't. He lost our 2nd best player...

We all need to give to Dinkytown althletes or not complain. (not pointing at you). Ben has a plan...I do too...donate!

I’d be happy with an NIT run…it was fun when we won it

What is exciting is that with a new special teams coach the kids who play on special teams will be able to make meaningful contributions for the first time..

This! Teamwork is coaching! Pitino's teams never had teamwork. That's why those of us who have studied basketball and coached on some level, can see that Johnson is a better coach than Pitino.

Pitino was a lousy coach, a lousy evaluator and his players got in trouble. There was more to fire him for than just his team. He was here a long time and didn't take over the dumpster fire Johnson did.

Johnson will keep his job not only because the team is quite an improvement and won't finish in the basement but because his teams get good grades and stay out of trouble. That too is important for us old fart donors. He has also shown he can recruit in Minnesota...a lot of our good players...
