I think some fans already have concluded that Luke Loewe and Tarus Samuel's level transfers, whether 1 or 5 in quantity, isn't going to save Ben his job next year nor have us finish above 13th. Unfortunate that Ben doesn't have the NIL to work with to land top of the line transfers, so I think...

Henley leaving isn't a surprise, but it does go to show how much of a rebuild job this will be going into year 3. Going into year 3 an we appear to be unproven at 3 starting spots. (All except Payne and Garcia). This doesn't inspire confidence that we'll do better than 13th in the Big Ten next...

And Pitino got fired because that wasn't good enough. That's not the benchmark for a suitable coach as you are implying.

Unfortunate for Rutgers. A side note, Rutgers was a top 50 NET team, but their RPI was 92, and I don't recall anything lower than a 60-70 RPI getting in as an at large team. Another note, it's long been the case if you are a top 45-50 RPI team, you will make the tournament (despite the...

Your bracket currently matches the Bracket Matrix Consensus except for NC State vs Clemson. You have Clemson in and NC State out. Where bracket matrix consensus has it reversed. 91/105 have NC State in on Bracket Matrix 3/105 have Clemson. You are also higher on Wisconsin than anyone else...

There was almost nothing that went right for this team and barely showed any improvement until the 2nd last game of the year. A clear F.

Moving forward to the next step is all you can do in that situation if you are in Ben's shoes. If you are in Coyle's shoes, you always have to be looking to see if there is a way to make your basketball program stronger sooner.

If there is a way this season could have gone worse, I'm not quite sure what that would be.

Gophers last in free throw shooting % at 61.5%. Battle shot 80% and he's leaving.

I don't think Coyle fires him. I think he's going to be patient here one more year. But if he does make a move, he only should do so if he has a better replacement lined up.

Ben was a real reach of a hire in the first place. I think all can agree on that. Regardless of transfer portal, and incoming class, and health of this team, there won't be one media outlet that will pick the Gophers to be ahead of 14th place in the Big Ten. That itself should tell you...

The minimum requirements for the new head coach should be: 1. Has coached some level of organized basketball before. That is it. Thanks. That would be a step above what happened here during the last 5 years.

You sound like an angry person.

I didn't get it. I don't think it's meant for me.

What I learned from watching the games last night is winning a Natty is hard. Ohio State and Michigan both had great years, with SEC being "down". Both teams had proper matchups in the semi's with teams they could beat. Both fall short, and both feel like they should have won. All of that...

The Iowa defense is like a machine. It's not by chance they turnover teams like they do. Whatever concept they use / run, they find the right people for it and they master it. And they master the return game on it as well. Each defensive player is looking to bring it back all the way, and the...

Bears are interested because of the need to build a new stadium at Arlington Heights

Wow. I didn't think there was a position better than Big Ten commissioner. The fact he interviewed is revealing.

Bucky didn't want to be 2nd best in 2023 so he was going to leave for U$C, but that fell through, then Oregon Duck$ came a long. He's still essentially the #2, but offense showcases him better. He didn't like the nickname Bucko, but that seemed more of a joke renaming than anything. Could be...

Bowl games seem to be more of a measure of a programs consistency in culture and a display of depth. If your culture is good where players feel they are treated fairly, you will have less transfers. If you've been doing a good job acquiring depth, you can better withstand loss of transfers...
