He might be wise to dip into the West Virginia well again.

That's going to be the case at every P4 basketball program. If a college basketball head coach wants to be first fiddle at his school, he better coach in the Big East. Otherwise, he's taking a backseat to football everywhere else. Football will take most of the revenue share money and a lot...

Patterson is an interesting case study. His college career 3pt percentages: Missouri State (FR): 4-32=12.5% Missouri State (SO): 6-39=15.4% Charlotte (JR): 27-69=39.1% Charlotte (SR): 41-117=35% Minnesota (GR): 14-65=21.5% TOTAL: 93-322=28.6% I would say the evidence may suggest he isn't a...

Well, he's done a lot of losing, so maybe that's where the mentality comes from. For the record (and it isn't good), here is Ben Johnson in Big Ten games in his career: AS A PLAYER: 14-60 (.219) AS AN ASSISTANT COACH: 36-72 (.333) AS A HEAD COACH: 15-46 (.246) TOTAL: 65-168 (.279) 17% of...

Not necessarily a "bad beat," but not that far from it. Gophers led by as many 27 and had a 24-pt lead when Morgan State make a bucket with :38 seconds to make it 22. Gophers then hold it on purpose and take the shot clock violation so as to not "run up the score." If you had Minnesota -22.5...

Of course, I want to beat anyone we play. I look at Iowa-Iowa State and Wisconsin-Marquette a bit different as they are in-state rivals. As I said in another thread, I really don't have a hunkering to play Marquette and Iowa State every year. I don't care that much about them. To put it...

Oh, yeah for sure. I know all the numbers, my dad had a CB, as well. My brother, sister and I used to get on it and have pretend conversations just to talk. It was wild. I think we called the names handles. Don't remember mine. I was mostly just messing with you, as I can't recall a...

Yeah, that is kind of my point. Why let another team from Wisconsin come in and play a game here every other year? Especially one that recruits this town hard. I'm not running away from the competition at all. I'd just rather schedule other Power 5 teams, that is all. If we never play...

I'm not all that worried. I am just less inclined to give them any additional publicity locally, etc. They hit this area hard. Like I'm not going to cancel my season tickets if we host Marquette every other year or anything. I don't have a huge hankering to host them, I don't particularly...

I'm less inclined to include Iowa State and Marquette in the schedule. They both recruit the Twin Cities very hard. We don't need one of them playing in Minnesota every year getting publicity and telling kids they will get to have a couple of "home" games if they come to ISU or Marquette. The...

There is no 10/49 in CB talk. That's why I asked.

I believe that ruling is the only reason he has eligibility remaining. He was basically gifted an additional year of eligibility by the ruling and the NCAA's follow up guideline.

What's a 10/49?

Players get $20 million, not 20%. It is a fixed dollar amount that is the same at all schools to keep some parity in what schools are paying athletes. Ticket revenue has nothing to do with the revenue sharing number. The number could change year-to-year, but it will be the same number for...

Last Gopher team to make the NCAA tournament was that one. Six years ago now.

I think there are a couple of SEC guys who might jump to Minnesota if the situation/pay was right. Mississippi State head coach Chris Jans grew up 3 hours from the Twin Cities and has won everywhere he's been, including some of the lower levels where he has won BIG, including a national JUCO...

That's an interesting list, with some great candidates. I'm surprised Brad Brownell is #1 on your list. He's been to four (4) NCAA tourneys in 14 years at Clemson and as you said if not for a big buyout would have been fired at least twice. Not exactly the kind of guy who will blow people...

Based on the extension TJ signed in 2023, he is making at least $3 million/year right now, which is set to increase to $3.5 million in July. He just signed a contract extension this week that takes his contract through 2032, which likely includes more raises.

Exactly what the lawyer will say. I wonder what player will file the suit?

Sori-Marin was not 1st team all-Big Ten. First team all-Big Ten in an 18-team power conference is incredibly impressive. Cody will be missed.
