We lived in So Cal when that was happening. I had a pair of my own gloves (which fit perfectly). I tried them on with my friends watching. I perfectly imitated OJ. Even made the facial expressions as I pretended that they were too tight. What a frickin joke.

My only strong feelings are that he is not and will not be a key contributor to a P6 winning basketball program. I wish the young man the best. He could possibly be a stud at a non P6 or D2 level team. I think there are some Gopher fans who somehow think Ihnen can be a key player for a top...

As a 25-year-old with 7 years in college and nothing in his track record to show he would be a positive contributor to a successful program I see zero need to even have him involved in your program. If you/he/Ben plan to have him "fill in a few minutes off the bench", I would rather give those...

Ihnen will add nothing to a BIG top 5 contending team next season. My expectation for the Gophers next season is top half-hopefully top 5 BIG finish. Will it happen? Depends on roster and how they gel. I'll put a Ben (Franklin, not Johnson) on Ihnen playing less minutes and have worse #'s...

#1. I'll wait until fall when the roster is set. In the meantime, I'm hoping for one of two things to happen: Ben gets studs from the portal, they gel nicely, and we go 13-7 in the BIG or Ben can't assemble a decent roster, we go 3-17 in the BIG and Ben is gone (then we hire an actual HC with...

2 things I care about: What is best for the Gophers so we can grow as a program and win more games. #2. What is best for the player. To me this is a win win (or could be). I hope that JOJ finds a better situation for him as a player. Maybe an energy 4 in the MV or some other non P6...

There are currently 2 BIG schools with larger enrollments than the U of MN. Got any other great ideas?

Only one man's opinion here. I would like a bad year to be 8-12 (maybe 7-13). A great year to be 16-4. All other years somewhere in between. Looks like Ben has crawled into the lower end of middle of the pack. Next year I expect 9th place or better in the BIG as a low bar. Improvement each...

Most likely joking, but if not then he sucks at personal finance. 17 years at a job. Has to make at least half of what Ben makes and he has a house payment? Go take an intro finance class at LB before you leave campus.

I'm saying that I would love to have the first world problem of multiple top 2-3 finishes in the BIG and be such a hot team/program that every P6 team in the land would try and steal our coach. I dream of that scenario.

Would love it if a MN Gophers men's basketball coach was SO good that he was lured away by a bigger blue blood. Has NEVER happened and doubt it will. Keep throwing out those false narratives.

bunch of BS. Izzo is hoping Ben stays as MN HC so he can continue to walk all over us.

Weak? Kenpom has us 362 ranked non conf SOS out of ?????? U guessed it. 362. 362 out of 362. That is not weak. That is pathetic and unacceptable. No P6 team (80 teams), EVER should have a non conf SOS that is lower then about 150-200.

Curious. Where do you see Betts playing for us? 3? You say he isn't quick enough/ Definitely not the Pg or 2. That leaves the 4. He ain't no 5. I do not see him as a 4. Fox gets away with some time at the 4 because #1-his minutes are limited. #2-he is energy, blocks shots and is...

As a fan, IDK who leaves. As long as you aren't part of the top 9. The problem right now is we do not have a trusted 9. We are down to a trusted 7 maybe 8. If JOJ and Ihnen leave, it is no loss. Neither will be in our top 9 next fall. No, I don't hate any of these guys. Like Wilson. I...

Betts as a 4? I don't see that. Where is the kid going to play?

Pre-season and early in the season very few people were talking about running basically three guards. I didn't know the exact order but I was pretty sure Hawkins was the PG, then some combo of Mitchell, Christie, Carrington at the 2-3. There was much talk about Ihnen and a little regarding...

+1 on guard situation. If current guards stay +Asuma we are fine at the 1-2 spot. I don't mind the 3 guard sets but would love for a guy like Betts to shine a bit at the 3 next season as a shooter. I see us thin at the 4-5 next year. Garcia and Payne are solid and I like Fox as an energy...

With 3 to play we are +1.5 from 13th place. The only spot we are guaranteed to not be in is 14th. The best we could possibly be is 4th. My guess at this point we will end up 10-10 and 8th place.
