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

    I, and I imagine others, wish that one day you would just sit down and tell us what you REALLY think of Johnson? Let it all out, nothing held back, no filter. Just let er flow!

    I dont know whether these wins will prove productive, or whether Ben will be back or not, but it sure is enjoyable seeing the FBJ crowd gnashing their teeth! 😱

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    The ladies looked slow today? I wasn’t that impressed with Oregon overall, but we didn’t take advantage of a team we could have beaten, this waiting until there are 5 minutes left in the game to turn it on is frustrating. This may have been the most aggravating game of the year?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Condescending? Maybe tongue in cheek? But not any worse than a poster above who wanted Ben fired NOW so there was no danger of the team winnnig enough games for him to keep his job. Funny if he is such a terrible coach, that should be the least of his worries.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Ok,this is post #716 of the FBJ marathon. It’s time to come up with an answer. But how? I propose a game between the Johnson coached Gophers and a team coached by someone who is a long time, experienced coach highly regarded in the profession. Someone who is a wet dream of all the Ben must go...

    Then I must be that genius, since I mentioned that in the post?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Speaking of NIL, today Michael Rand said that the Gophers are at 7m, 12th in the Big Something or Another. Ohio State, was #1 with 20m, and Michigan and Michigan State were up in that bracket. During the football season I saw several references to Ohio States 20m team. Those reference implied...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    First you questioned whether a "five star" player could be coached up by the Gopher staff? Then you say that the only thing close to that kind of talent we had improved? Then you question Paynes development course, which I disagree with, as apparently did Texas A&M. Either that or they...

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

    I doubt anything would have helped, but the lack of aggression by Garcia and Asuma tonight didn’t do us any good. Asuma, ONE what attempt in 25? Minutes?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    The continuing emphasis on DEI is starting to make some of the posters in here sound just a tad racist? That said, there are two factors here that impact the Gophers record, or for that matter any coaches record. One is the ability to coach. Anyone who watched last nights game would have to have...

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    The Barn is fine if they win. The question is does the Barn affect recruiting? If it does then the Barn has to go. If you can’t lure players here, then the size of the building is moot. And if the building does depress recruiting then it doesn’t make any difference who the coach is. I like...

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Whether the refs were bad or not, they were very inconsistent over the game. Called nothing to start the game, then went thru a streak of over officiating, then slacked off. It was sort of hard to keep up with. I did think McKinney was the victim of some calls and non calls. Sometimes that...

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Sophie works hard and has improved a lot. But you are doing her a disservice by passing her the ball when she is 6’ from the rim. It’s out of her range. She needs to get the ball LOW and if at all possible go left. Battle is a very good player who should not be the point guard. That may be...

    B1G Game 11: Gophers visit UCLA (2-2-25)

    I preface this by saying Hart has been playing very well, and never takes a play off. The Gophers weren’t getting open outside looks because UCLA didn’t have to devote 2 people to Hart. Inversely we had sagged up to 3 on Betts. She is good, and their second is is quicker with more range. We...

    Ben Johnson on why he didn’t play Asuma in 2nd half (video)

    Ben Johnson on why he didn’t play Asuma in 2nd half (video)

    Mitchell is a shooting guard! Patterson is a dribbling guard! Both are undersized and not very athletic. When Mitchell is cold, he is really cold. All season one of the knocks on Asuma, or one of the hopes for him, would that he become more aggressive offensively. Yesterday he did it in the...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers visit Southern Cal (1-30-25)

    You can just see it coming? She puts her head down and takes off! Generally gets too far under the basket, misses the rim, and gets knocked over almost every time. She just isn’t any offensive threat, leaving the Gophers playing 4 against 5 on offense! I wonder what her shooting % on layups is?

    B1G Game 10: Gophers visit Southern Cal (1-30-25)

    An excellent effort against an extremely athletic team. There were a few occasions we were playing 5 against 8, but that didn’t change the end result. I still think that we dribble way too much, and are much more effective when we move the ball. There were several instances where the lady who...
