    Coyle: "If everybody comes back we'll be a top-25 team preseason next year"

    I see your point. Because this AD has a track record of always putting the best interests of the fans first. He did, after all, green light this year’s schedule. It just seemed an odd thing to throw in at the end of his statement.

    Same. But I’m a little older, so had to go with the predecessor to rec specs, like Kurt Rambis…

    Coyle: "If everybody comes back we'll be a top-25 team preseason next year"

    This sounds like a ready made excuse to give us another crappy non-conference schedule next year. “Hey, we tried, but everyone is afraid to play us! So this is all we could line up.” Get ready for more 300+ NET opponents.

    I have no expectations of making the big dance. I said, when the schedule was announced, that the staff, obviously, had no hope for going to the tournament. Playing .500 ball in the B18 was a pleasant surprise, but not near enough to make up for an historically bad non-con lineup. The staff...

    Who else is optimistic about the 2024 season?

    I have to assume that Brosmer will be an upgrade over AK. So I am bullish on the offense. My worries are for the defense, which was a major letdown last season. Lots of holes to fill and youngsters needed to step up. Plus we’re replacing who we thought (at least until last year) was one of the...

    Is this the end of court storming?

    The teaching that spawned Grayson Allen obviously lives on.

    I’m Proud of Our Team

    Response to the original post: All I can say is that I’m not embarrassed by our team, like I was for the past two seasons. I have been somewhat proud of our tournament teams and very proud of our conference champions. I’m probably showing my age, though, because my formative years were long...

    If Garcia is out, who starts against Purdue?

    C’mon, man. Only the Skunks coach the “nut punch.”

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

    When was the last time we had everyone back? Can almost guarantee that won’t happen. We could be a year more “experienced” and still end up near the bottom of the league. It’s going to be really interesting when we add the four schools from out west.

    All Things Isaac Asuma Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Minnesota's Top In-State Target)

    If he isn’t a quick/fast PG, perhaps he’ll be a taller Butch Lee—the 6’ PG for the 77 national champs Marquette. The strongest dribbler I’ve ever seen. Asuma looks strong. He’ll be fine.

    Gophers going with black uniforms vs MSU

    Puke. Hated it (wearing non-school colors) when teams started this years ago. Hated it when the trend caught on. Hate it for us. Don’t mind special uniforms occasionally (really appreciated the throw-back golds used recently), but stick to school colors. Let the players get excited about who we...

    When can we storm the court?

    All we can muster is to “gentle breeze” the court.

    I still don’t have a clear understanding of Quad wins and losses. Is it all based on final position? If you beat a “top tier (Q1)” team early in the season and they fall off and end up being a Q3 team in the end, was you win a Q1 or a Q3? If you lose to a Q4 team early but they exceed...

    CBS: Big Ten tiers in 2024

    He’s referring to the seven teams he calls out as “having no shot”, not all of the teams on OSU’s B18 schedule.

    Big Ten is planning on 20 game schedule; only 15 of its 18 teams in the Big Ten Tournament starting in 2025.

    We will need to clarify the wording of minimal expectations for CBJ in year 4 (to get a year 5). Saying that he has to avoid Weakling Wednesday can now be done by not even making the conference tournament at all.

    Stop blaming Ben for the close losses!

    A coach has to look at his players’ past performance and realize they have consistently failed at running the shot clock down and hoping to get a clean look. Our offense is so inefficient that we should be taking the first clean look we get, because that often takes the entire shot clock for...

    SI: Gophers have 'extra fire' to end skid against arch-rival Wisconsin; MN hasn’t beat UW since 2020

    I thought everybody got fired at SI. Is this another AI generated piece?
