    Postgame Thread: Gophers Lose to North Carolina

    Rough game and hard to watch at times. 1) Poor offensive play calling 2) More dropped passes (seems to be becoming a theme this year) 3) Multiple defensive breakdowns, leaving wide open receivers 4) Athan really struggled and should have had two more interceptions, but they luckily were dropped...

    Potential New Tournament in Las Vegas in Late March (would include the top 16 teams from the Big East, Big 10, Big 12 that don't make NCAA Tournament)

    I wish there was someone making decisions for the best of the sport. College basketball is slowly getting destroyed by those that don't care about it at all.

    Ilhen cleared. Fox next?

    Outside of the bickering on this thread, this is great news, and let's hope he can provide significant contributions to the team. They need a player like him.

    CBS: Candid Coaches: Which on-court rule change should come next to men's college basketball?

    100% agree. Since there's not NBA talent across 350+ teams, the college game would get sloppier. I like that college basketball isn't the NBA. I honestly view any college coach that wants to go to a 24 sec shot clock as lazy and not wanting to put in the work to make an offense that works for...

    Louisiana vs. Minnesota

    It's small, but the best brewery (in terms of beer) is Dangerous Man. It's a bit out of the way from the stadium, but there are other breweries nearby if you want to hop around after the game.

    2023-2024 Gophers Basketball Schedule Thread

    I think for some coaches, it's all about control. When you're in those tournaments, you have no control over opponents or game times. I'm with you though. I love those early season tournaments.

    BREAKING: Oregon & Washington joining Big Ten, becoming latest schools to leave Pac-12

    Even though I hate this realignment and the poaching of the Pac-12, I agree that it now makes too much sense to go to 20. I think the only way Stanford gets invited is if Notre Dame requires it. Obviously the Big Ten would move mountains to get ND in the conference. I'd bet that it's going to be...

    Make no mistake. The responsible party for this team circling the drain is ..

    Coyle and Ben also deserve blame, but I voted the administration. It's been very clear for years now that they don't care about the men's basketball program.

    2023-2024 Gophers Basketball Schedule Thread

    I'm not understanding the strategy behind this schedule. If you want an easier schedule full of mid-majors because you want wins (and Ben Johnson needs wins right now), I really don't like it but fine. However, then you need to pick mid-majors that don't typically fall in the 300+ group. You...

    Initial Offseason Field of 68 Projection: Leap of Faith. ... Big Ten National Title Drought Finally Will End

    There are so many people that believe the Big Ten has been awful in the NCAA tournament for a long time. That's actually not true. I looked it up... from 2000-2019, the Big Ten reached 16 Final Fours, which is the most of any conference, and 48 Sweet Sixteens, which is the second most (ACC had...

    Big 10 scheduling tidbits

    Watch out MSU. There's a 50% chance these guys cancel the game because of "travel issues."

    What can we expect from Isaiah Ihnen/Parker Fox next season?

    In Grier's defense, he got injured early in the season and just never quite looked the same after.

    Gophers not in Gavitt Games

    Same here. I think it's for a few reasons... 1) ESPN made the ACC/Big Ten challenge a huge event. For three nights in a row, they focused pretty much entirely on the event and advertised extensively for it. For whatever reason, Fox doesn't really seem to prioritize the Gavitt Games. Yeah it's on...

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Minnesota lost Battle, Cooper, and Henley. Michigan lost Dickinson, Love, Bufkin, and Howard. Michigan has had the worst offseason for any P6 team so far, and I stand by the comment.

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Doubt you'll find a P6 team with a worse offseason than Michigan. I'm sure they'll try to add more players, but it's not looking good for them.

    What happened to this board?

    You clearly read my post wrong. Never once did I make a prediction that the Gophers were winning seven Big Ten games next year. I said that's what would be required for Ben Johnson to keep his job, in my opinion. They will win more than last year because of better guard play. How many wins that...

    What happened to this board?

    The loudest four or five posters on the basketball threads are all counting down the days until Ben Johnson is fired, and they're posting every day about it. Makes it a little tough when there are threads designed for actual news and then it's completely bombarded. This group claims it's only...

    Projected Gavitt Games Matchups

    Did I hear somewhere that the Gavitt games might include all Big East teams soon? Now that the ACC challenge is over, it would be good to see more Big Ten teams involved annually.
