He's undersized, but 45% from 3pt and 85% from the FT line doesn't excite you? I admittedly haven't scouted his defensive prowess. Still, offensively, he's better than pretty much every SG guard Ben ever brought in (besides Christie) and would be a hell of a building block (especially paired...

I am very curious to see an Iowa team with a total 180 from their current identity. I can't imagine it at the moment.

To me, the last peak in Men's basketball was playing Miami in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in the 2017 season. We were coming off a tournament appearance, returning a ton of production, and both teams were undefeated. We pre-gamed at Buffalo Wild Wings and drank beers downstairs near the...

This is one area I'm really looking forward to. Losing games during a demanding OC slate doesn't hurt you in the eyes of the selection committee (see UNC this year), and the neverending string of home games against Bethune Cookman, IUPUI, and Central Michigan needs to stop.

I wonder about this, too. Niko has proven worthy, but even beyond that, with how much the cbb landscape has changed over the last four years, would a slam-dunk hire in 2021 have been a waste? Are the stars finally aligning for our downtrodden program!?

I was just looking at this today. I’ve been tracking March Madness results with some friends since 2009. This is the first time a 12- seed opened as a favorite against a 5 since we began tracking. The gophers opened as favorites against Middle Tennessee State, then the spread moved a ton...

He was literally a potential candidate four years ago. He’s not some new up and comer who made a one-off March madness run. He’s a proven builder.

I’ve actually heard the opposite. He’s a total locker room cancer. He needs to be gone. I’m trolling. Just like the OP. I feel like OP was poking fun at the Medved steam and wanted to create his own rumor (that he felt was egregious). Would love me one more year of DG!

Question for the legal minds: Doesn't the buyout not decrease until April or May? To save money, do they not officially terminate until the exact buyout date? So, technically, will Ben be on the payroll until April/May? Just curious.

It was yet another season where all hope for a relevant post-season was lost before the New Year.

Ben wrote "No Fear" on his whiteboard during the tv timeout. We're f**** back!

Did you read the article? Coyle isn't talking to Scroggins. Nor do I think a prospective coach would ever see this article. Coyle can talk to any coaching targets he wants, and 99% of them would hear him out. Many coaches would be excited about a guaranteed multimillion-dollar sum of money to...

My gut says this is posturing for the next coaching candidate. That's a nice carrot for a coach outside the BIG or SEC. Pay up for a proven commodity to coach the team, give him some guaranteed money to get players, and hope those two things increase the flow of NIL into the program. There...

I think I read at some point, no team with 7 Quad 1 wins has ever missed the tourney (since NET became the primary metric). If the Gophers could get to 9 Q1s and still miss the tourney, that'd be one hell of a feat.

It was a good win but far from a well-coached win. Wtf would you burn your last timeout after a make with what, like 2-3 min left? That should have cost us. Has there been a big ten game in Johnson’s tenure where we build a high-teen lead and just win comfortably? You just know how it’s gonna...

Should we lose to them intentionally on Saturday to solidify their standing in the Q1 bucket? In all seriousness, we need Oregon to go on a tear! They are a spot or two away from being Q1 as well.

I'm enjoying the recent run as much as the next fan, but it shouldn't feel like we made the Sweet 16 because we won consecutive road games against an NIT team and a future 8/9-seed, lol. I think that feeling of elation tells you how brutal it's been for all of us. I think Ben needs to make...

I want to thank everyone who participated in the game thread last night. I couldn't watch it live due to a very early morning arrangement. Instead of waking up to check the box score, I had only THIS THREAD open in the web browser and set my alarm 10 minutes earlier to comb through. What a...

Our seniors look like freshmen way too often.

The glory days 😂
