Maturi Pavilion has no games this week. But, for some reason the Gophers can't host a game there on Thursday night. Stupid to not work around this. Nope, if the Gophers win on Thursday, they will play in either Springfield, MO or Tulsa, OK on Sunday.

Most consistent play in Gopher history. You could basically pencil him in for the same thing every game.

They aren't preseason games. They are non-conference games. And the record placed next to the team's name and the coach's record will forever be 19-15 for last year.

The NCAA Selection Committee does.

Just a refresher. Norwood Teague hired Richard Pitino.

You could have just said nine years.

Crean was a great recruiter, had great connections with the top AAU programs, the shoe companies, etc. Just check out the number of guys he has put into the NBA. Because of that, he has had success as a coach. Won Big Ten titles, been to multiple Sweet 16s, been to a Final Four. Has major...

Fran had some great years at Iowa. He's had teams ranked in the Top 5, teams that have been 2-seeds in the NCAA, multiple players who won National Player of the Year awards, won a Big Ten Tournament championship, and was pretty consistently in the postseason. There was good reason for his...

Just to play devil's advocate........ Not sure that's a big selling point specific to this candidate. Guy may like smaller towns. He was born in Iowa City (population 75,000), grew up in Storm Lake (population 11,000), went to junior college in Mason City (population 27,000), went to college...

He's been to every home basketball game.

Curious, what are those things he could sell to McCollum that would persuade him to go to Minnesota instead of Indiana or Iowa? Not saying they don't exist, just curious what you have in mind.

How bad must all the other teams be? Lots of terrible teams apparently. Gophers had four regulation losses all season. That said, it wasn't a great weekend of hockey against Notre Dame. But, they outshot the Irish all weekend, territorially they were mostly better, they missed a shitload of...

Fred has been in Lincoln for six years. He's been to one NCAA Tournament (last year).

This is true, although neither came straight from D-III (not suggesting you were suggesting that.) They each had stops at a D-I school prior to taking the Wisconsin job.

It is truly one of the more amazing stats of the basketball season. Only nine teams in the entire country have more Quad 1 wins than Minnesota. Gophers have more Quad 1 wins than: #1 Duke (6) #8 Gonzaga (3) #9 Iowa State (6) #14 Wisconsin (6) #16 Misssouri (6) #19 St. John's (3) #21...

Buffalo is in the MAC, which is a several steps up from the MAAC and even more steps up from the NEC. Many Big Ten and high major coaches have come from the MAC over the years. Not very many have come from the MAAC, as McCaffery did at Iowa. (I think that was the poster's point)

Yep, that team was actually ranked 16th at one point, with several impressive wins, including one over the eventual #4 overall seed in the NCAA tourney, the #7 overall seed in the NCAA tourney and three other ranked teams. Then Liam Robbins got hurt. Gabe Kalscheur got hurt. And they went...

It is a little disingenuous to compare the situation Scott Drew walked into at Baylor to what Ben Johnson inherited at Minnesota. If anyone needs a history on Baylor men's basketball in 2003, go search it. Short version, one player on the roster murdered another player on the roster. There...
