    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    No NCAA tournaments in 4 years (Unless we find a way this year) you can't keep this job.

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    I actually like Mack. He did a very good job at Xavier. Sweet 16, Elite Eight and 2 R32s is really impressive. Louisville is a weird job where money matters more than coaching. Money is important everywhere nowadays, but I think that's less so the case at Minnesota. I'd like this hire. *Edit...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    The Michigan State game is about as good a test as anyone could have in the country right now. A win is a lot to ask like you said, but if they can play like they have the rest of the schedule is gettable. It's still the Big 10 though and it's gonna be tough to get ones on the road. Like to see...

    Fantastic to watch. No idea where this came from. I have to ask again - What is the Cochran situation? We could really use him if we're going to take this thing seriously. *I also apologize for dogging on Garcia. He has been great and was big time today.

    Gotta be something in the contract where you don't a pay a guy that doesn't play. Even though maybe these aren't contracts? I have no idea.

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I didn't realize I actually wanted us to win until the shot went in to win it. It was an awesome moment. I think I'm back cheering for the boys. Anything shy of an NCAA berth and I think Johnson is gone already. And that berth is a LONG shot. Might as well go back to cheering for 'em and...

    No Ben Johnson Show

    Johnson show currently airing. I do think he says everything that makes sense for a guy in his position. It's just so hard to listen to excuses when you're this bad. He brought up again the transfer portal from this past year and how hard it is to battle through that with a new group........

    Ben Johnson: We know we’re really close to breaking through. (video)

    I would be absolutely shocked if Johnson was back for another year. I actually believe Coyle has expectations for the basketball program. He fired Pitino after a 6-14 Big 10 season, and had seen Pitino make the tournament in 2 of the 5 years that Coyle and Pitino were here together. I know...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MARYLAND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Something the boys are going to have going for them is that a lot of teams will sleepwalk / take us lightly. I'd imagine we'll get at least 1 of those games.

    Feel good is probably the wrong way to put it. Maybe more like a Rudy situation. A win being so improbable, you just have to tear up a little bit and feel for them haha.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Ben isn't returning. The only interest in Gophers basketball right now is if he'll get canned midseason.

    13.5 was an insane number. I don't know where that came from.
