This team is not as bad as Ben's year 1 or year 2. It's not particularly close. And it might be better than year 4 too.

It’s way too early to make that statement. This team could absolutely be worse than year 1 and 2 of Ben Johnson.

Year 1, Payton Willis and EJ Stephen’s were better than any guard on our team currently and Jamison Battle is a pretty similar player to Tyson. Even Sutherland and Loewe would contribute on this year’s team.

Year 2, Guard play was awful, but Cooper would be our starting pg on this year’s team. Dawson Garcia, Jamison Battle, and Pharrell Payne were a significantly better front court than this team, and all had multiple years of eligibility left. You also had some promising minutes from JOJ and Carrington as part of a strong freshman class. This year has nothing like that core of potential returning players.

I’m not yearning for the long-ago days of Ben Johnson but his first team started 11-1 with road wins at Pitt; Mississippi State & Michigan.
 

Disgusting....
This team might not win more than 2-3 B10 games.....
Coached my daughters 8th grade team and I never had a player go 1-7 from the line....
Chauncey Willis led the MAC in scoring???? He wouldn't lead my 50+ Saturday morning men's league in scoring....
Absolute dumpster fire.

And to think, nobody here would've ever believed this year would be worse than the last four (4), but it sure appears to be.

I'm hard pressed to remember a time when the Gopher sports programs as a whole have been collectively this bad.

Lifetime Extension for Coyle!

Fans, boosters, and the weak media jackals in town need to start putting heat on Mark Coyle and the president Rebbeca Cunningham. Mark Coyle has me wishing Joel Maturi was still here.

Their guards are just a lot better than ours are. 2 kids recruited out of HS, a part time starter at Portland, and someone who couldn't get off the bench at Oregon.

Our best guard is also unplayable down the stretch if we do happen to be leading bc he can't make a FT

Looks like the next win will be in 3 weeks.

Which MIAC team is that against?
 




This was the first game that I watched start to finish. I take back everything I said in my post a couple of days ago about some semblance of a system in place.

This was the most ill prepared gopher team I've ever seen and I've been punishing myself with this nonsense for decades.

For those folks who spent four years screaming about the DEI hire, he was so far ahead of what Medved put on the court last night with so much less money. I don't think there's a player on the current team who would be in Johnson's top ten recruits, none of whom stayed either because they were rentals or there was no money to pay them.

It's not hard to make a free throw. If you give a shit.
