I’m sure Izzo would love all this ass kissing, but his team doesn’t shoot well enough to get to the sweet sixteen.

i thought it was pretty obvious, but I see I need to be more descriptive for some individuals. The point spreads when being out rebounded are 16.5. While the games where we won the board battle average 4 pts. Most people would be able to say “duh”!

Well, we have been outrebounded in 6 games. We have a 1-5 record in those games with the one win being a last second prayer shot. Those five teams are the top 4 teams in the conference and Indiana. We have a 2-2 record in games we had the rebounding advantage. Just saying.

Ms. Johnson, from 10th grade English, I thought you would be dead by now! It’s a board for posting opinions, lighten up dude. You wrote outrebounded 5 times in your post, yet failed to make an intelligent point about the subject. Except to prove my point that we can’t rebound with the better...

There was no way they were going to be close with the following stat lines. Outrebounded 40-22! Ouch! Outfreethrowed 20-5 in attempts, 15-3 in makes! Ouch! You can’t make up for that unless you shoot 60% or something crazy. We are just too soft, short, and unathletic to bang with the teams...

Part of me thinks Cole was keeping Ben the whole time regardless of record. Truth is, the last two coaches were fired after NCAA tournament appearances. Ben has been kept with the worst winning percentage in Gopher history. Based on those facts, how can you possibly make an accurate prediction?

Steadily steaming on a serene course of Titanic proportions, our direct course to the ousting of much maligned Head Coach Ben Johnson has been thrown off by a much unexpected run of good play! 3 wins in a row with two of the competitors ranked? Surely not under this staff. And yet here we are.

I don’t think our 2 game win streak is going to bring Gopher fans out of hibernation. Especially for a non-conference game against Oregon. Lol

The Most successful Gopher NBA careers: 1. McHale - not even close 2. Mychal Thompson 3. Flip Saunders - granted he never played, but has a huge influence on the league. 4. Ray Williams 5. Trent Tucker All these guys were on the same team. After that there are several successful careers...

Only you would embrace the .00000001% chance the Gophers could make the NCAAs! Keep the faith brother!

Favorite loss? Surely, there is no such thing. But if there were, it would be the Viking playoff loss.

This hasn’t aged well. Highlight of Ben’s Head Coaching Career.

If we fire Ben mid season, can’t the players enter the portal? Could Cole be worried we wouldn’t be able to field a team? That would be pretty awesome! Think of all the time we would have!

This thread wonders why it’s not four years old!

I’d put down money they’d win the first game under the interim Head Basketball Coach.

LMFAO at the thought of the U getting out of paying Ben if he gets hired elsewhere! Does that include any job?

Unfortunately, we don’t have a coach proof lineup to mask Ben’s ineffectiveness. And As fans from last year we were expecting: Hawkins Mitchell Christie Garcia Payne With Fox and Asuma coming in off the bench. God, I hate the portal for basketball.

There is no reason Asuma should not be starting. He looks like the most poised player in the court for the Gophers, plays unselfishly, and doesn’t turn the ball over. Unfortunately, as we saw with Payne, Ben is too dumb? Too blind? Too stubborn to do the obvious. First reason he should be...

The sad part about last night was that our “good” free throw shooters were walking to the line late to ice the game and threw up bricks! This seems to indicate a fitness problem as the throws looked short. Maybe they aren’t in good enough shape for the minutes they are playing which is another...

I give PJ an A. And I will tell you why. 1. He loosened the offensive reins and opened up the playbook! 2. He hit a home run with his DC hire. 3. He did very well in the portal. These are moves which will help us going forward. He gets what he needs out of the portal and has a staff kids want...
