For Rutgers its never good when your two best defensive rated players are freshmen, and having to adjust to Big Ten defenders against them--problematic. In my pre-season notes, I have "No center (Omoruyi gone), 2 freshmen Bailey and Harper starting, then what?" :o They were high on my...

Agree 100% Make it a rock fight. Dawson can hopefully get guys in foul trouble.

Three very differing outcomes for CBJ and the Gophers season. I hope they continue solid play and win 6/+ more BTN games, finish the season 9-11/10-10 AND have a solid BigTen Tournament showing winning a couple games--CBJ clearly will be finishing his contract. Going 19-15/20-14 for season is...

Huge game. Despite their solid shooting, Iowa -17, -10 on the boards in losses to USC, UCLA..

Yea, but not SFU much. Sad story. My NCAA coaches reference was prior to his passing. Forgot about it, wasn't meant to offend.

Yea, I realized that after posting. Point being that some guys would love to be in B10 money. Amir Abdur-Rahim is another name, but he's locked up under contract until 2030 making $11M/yr.

In search of non-P4 coaches who would love to step up into Big Ten money pools, here is a potential list of coaches that might be swayed to MN not named Dutcher. Wayne Tinkle (Ore. St.) $8.7M--2027 Cuonzo Martin (Missouri St.) $600k--'28/'29 Craig Smith (Utah) $1.8+$100k/yr--'26/'27 Greg...

Only time will tell, and there is a lot of time between now and March for things to reveal themselves.

OK, the pitchfork crowd is out in full force. I get that MN has lost its first 2 Big Ten games and hasn't looked very good so far in non-conf. I would argue that this does not justify a CBJ firing either mid-season, or at the end of the season.*. None of the following listed below are Ben's...

Yea, UMD hockey has sadly been put into an NIL disadvantage and isn't the dynasty we are used to. Good D2 bb program and coach. Love Duluth as a city.

Yes, that or hire an agent to negotiate with the player's agents.

I just don't know about this team. Transfers underwhelming. Shooting terribly from all distances. Not attacking the rim. I was hoping for a more connected, older experienced group of players that would pass more, dribble less, go up-tempo and get better shots prior to clock expiring. They...

Garcia has to find the open guy once the double team/help arrives. Edey was terrific at that last year, and if Dawson has NBA aspirations he has to find the open man. MN cannot stand around watching iso ball. MSU needs to be tired after every MN possession guarding guys that are in constant...

Izzo will work the refs continuously, get favorable calls (you can picture his face whining right now!) Despite playing their best game of the year against NC, my hope is the Spartans will not reach 80 pts tonight, play like they did against Bowling Green, will turn the ball over 15+ times...

With Big Ten play about to start, I can't say that I am as optimistic as I'd like to be. Untimely injuries happen, teams develop chemistry, and momentum can shift. Coming into the season as compared to the current development, some thoughts. Torvik initially ranked MN at #71 and a rating of...

Currently tied for the lead at 0-0!

MN Gopher fans be like-- Michigan State Narrowly Escapes Bowling Green--"Wow, Bowling Green has some really good players, esp that big guy". Wisconsin Taken Down to the Wire vs UTRGV--"Wow, Rio Grande was long and had good shooters". Minnesota Beats Yale With Second Half Rally--"Gophers suck...

Oldie but goodie. Go Gophers!

[/MEDIA] Watching the play I thought it was a fractured tibia, which would be catastrophic. The way he was holding it scared me. If its truly an "ankle" injury that's a major dodged bullet.
