If playing in the B1GT actually meant something towards making the actual NCAA Tournament it would mean something. Unfortunately, for us it really doesn't. I'm glad it appears we will make it because I enjoy watching as much Gophers bball as possible, but unless we win it, it won't change much.

Unfortunately, Big Ten standing doesn't really mean anything. Last year we finished 12th out of 14 teams in the NET, and this year we are 17th out of 18 teams. His first 2 years we finished 13th and 14th respectively. Collectively, he's finished on avg, one spot higher than what his salary is...

2 Saturday's ago(the most recent data) the five games on ESPN avg out to a little over 1.5 million viewers. The highest rated CBB regular season game was a little over 5.5 million (Arkansas vs Illinois)

I think I've come to brace myself that CBJ is going to return next year, no matter how the rest of the year plays out. As much as the 5 Q1 wins is a really great mark, were still just 8-14 in Q's 1-3, which is overall pretty bad. He's gotta schedule and have the team perform better in the OOC...

Wow. What a win. That should clinch a spot in the B1GT.

It is crazy the difference between playing at home and on the road with this team.

If they finish 19-12 in the regular season, they should absolutely be in. They have wins over Michigan, UL, Zona, @Arkansas, Vandy and Miss State. I'd say 19-12 would pretty much be a lock at that point.

You have Wake Forest in that comfortably? They've only got one really good win and have taken on some terrible losses the last 2 weeks. I can't see any way the SEC ends up with just 10. I think 14 is more likely than 10 tbh. Good stuff though as always.

A-sun Bracket:

This article aged like absolute shit.

Pretty embarrassing effort overall. When we by chance, do get a stop on defense, they get the rebound.

What do you know, we contest a 3 and he misses!!

If they are uncontested and wide open, I wouldn't see why not.

Did we even lose if this means PSU stays top 75 in the NET and we keep a Q1 win?!?!

I'm just saying, beating your chest for being mediocre, and what got the previous coach fired, isn't exactly greatness.

Not really other than he lost his two best returning players to the portal. I'd guess teams like UNLV, San Diego State, Boise State, Nevada, Colorado State, Utah State and New Mexico are all probably similar. I don't think any of them have what I would consider "good" NIL.

Pitino is currently dealing with NIL at New Mexico. Their attrition is very similar to ours. Lost two important players to the portal, another to graduation (instead of the NBA) and he's got them rolling again.

Sure, but Pitino had a much more challenging OOC schedule in 2019-2020. And in his last year only played 7 total OOC games. That 2020 team is a lot better than this team and last year's team, unfortunately.

It'd be great if we finished 4-1 or 3-2 which means we won more games than we lost. However, in the grand scheme of things, this team will be no different than last years team, or the year that got Pitino fired. Pending what happens in the B1GT.

You know for certain that if we hire a new coach we're going to continue to stink? Isn't the buyout like $2.93 million? That's pretty insignificant.
