And didn't it later come out that Mason was battling a hip injury in the Middle Tennessee State game? Springs was our best defensive guard and provided a ton of leadership. It was just a brutal injury to put a cap on such a special season.

Unfortunately, the brutal non-con schedule and a down big ten have made it incredibly unlikely to receive an at-large bid without winning the BTT. We all knew how NET works, and so did the coaches. Now we're seeing the consequences, which is painful because I genuinely feel we are a better...

Am I the only one irked we gave up 105?

Stop doing that half-a**ed double team that leaves the weak side wing wide open for 3 every time.

It's wild. We've made some progress this year with our home crowds at Williams, but teams don't seize up when the momentum swings for the Gophers like we have historically at Pinnacle when Nebraska goes on a run. Props to the Nebraska faithful. They smell the NCAA tournament and would not let...

I knew this game was over in the first half when we had the ball coming out of the media timeout with 8 seconds left on the shot clot, and they were running the offense as if there was a full 30. I wasn't expecting to win, but I wanted to see some guts. No one showed up except Fox.

Garcia will be up to the task of replacing JOJ’s production.

That and the rebounding. There's no excuse for a guy with his tools to be playing 30 min a game and only grabbing one or two rebounds. One of the biggest things working against JOJ is his 2nd half against Nebraska. He showed us all (and the coaches) what he's capable of but hasn't found that...

We'll run away with this if Payne stays out of foul trouble. Nobody on OSU can match his physicality. Johnson: Carrington/Christie on Battle all 2nd half, and make him go right!

Part of Me: Pound sand! He should have come here in the first place! Another Part of Me: Let's get a hometown kid with legit blue-blood offers out of hs, multiple years to play, and his freebie transfer out of the way. Even if everyone comes back, one more competent combo guard is needed (and...

That Illinois choke was worse than our Mizz/Iowa debacles by far.

For those confused about who basketball Caleb Williams is:

I misread the poll thinking it was asking % of players come back. I selected 70%. I'd bet about 4 players leave the team either for professional ambitions (Garcia) or wanting to play more (Ihnen, Betts).

I don't know if it has been said anywhere in this thread (it probably has, so I apologize). It's very refreshing we are playing our best ball in February. Even with Tubby and Pitino's tournament teams, it felt like we were constantly sliding at this part of the season, trying to hang on for...

This wasn't a big win for tourney our chances, but it was massive for setting us up well in the Big Ten tournament to make a legitimate run. It's mid-February, and there's still hope!

Our body of work is better with 20 conference games because we all know CBJ would have scheduled a couple of more Bethune Cookmans if we only played 18 in the Big Ten.

We're due for a game where we are betting underdogs and come out and kick the s*** out of the opposition. The last time I recall this happening was the 20/21 season, when Top 10 Michigan came to town, and we beat them by 20. It was a complete domination, a wire-to-wire win. I predict this...

What was the go to analysis metric back then? I know RPI was all the rage in the 2010 decade. Was it strictly just eye test and some high-level SOS? AP/Coaches polls? Also worth noting, back then they only played 16 big ten games. Major conference teams could cram in a lot more cupcakes. 4th...

Sorry, I meant to beat them all (as MU laid out in their scenario). Edited for clarity.

I think, generally, we agree. We just have different viewpoints on how impactful the Missouri loss is. However, I'd be willing to bet everything I have if the Gophers win @Purdue, @Illinois, and @NW and finish 11-9; they are shoe-ins even without a win in the Big Ten tourney. Beat Iowa on...
