    Ben Johnson on Gophers’ 0-6 Big Ten start: ‘Nobody puts more pressure on myself than me’

    Faulting Ben for #1 isn't fair. I could apply to be the Twitter CEO, but if Elon Musk takes me seriously, that's on him. If you could apply for your dream job and earn millions doing it but only had a 5% chance of landing it, I'd bet you'd still interview. I'm sure Ben was just as surprised as...

    Ultimate Proof Ben is unfit to rule

    In Ben’s defense (he doesn’t deserve it), the stall offense was also a staple of the Pitino and Tubby regimes as well. The biggest head scratcher was Betts playing all those crucial minutes when he hasn’t even been in the rotation all year. We all thought it was because Femi was hurt, then...

    How low?

    I once spotted my brother in the top row of Williams doing the rouser by himself postgame after demolishing someone 10 or so years ago. He literally went to the game by himself. Tonight I texted him during the game about how brutal Brennan Rigsby looked and he replied, “Who is Brennan Rigsby?”

    Initial Net Rankings - Not Pretty

    I appreciate the explanation on this. I hope he plays, personally, but I also feel for a guy watching a ship sink, knowing his impact won't be felt until it's too late.

    Initial Net Rankings - Not Pretty

    It's not surprising and highlights the risk of playing garbage teams closely. I don't see how we can dig ourselves out of this, especially given the caliber of ball we've seen displayed thus far. Mike Mitchell isn't the savior who will move us up 100 spots in the discussion for a tourney bid...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Since the exhibition games, I could tell this team was going to be challenged offensively for stretches. But man, I did not expect this. My biggest frustrations with Ben: Ten seniors are on the team, most of them guards. The lack of poise and purpose offensively is baffling. How can guys...

    ***OFFICIAL ORAL ROBERTS VS MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    There was a play where Betts got the ball on the wing. Odukale cut on the weakside to the hoop, and Betts didn't see him. He was wide open for about five seconds, jumping up and down, pleading for the pass, but Betts never recognized what was happening. Femi's facial expression as Betts passed...

    ***OFFICIAL ORAL ROBERTS VS MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    All Ben needs to do is play the guys who bring the defensive intensity, and this team will be all right!

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    Future opponent, Wichita State had a solid W on the road at Western Kentucky. I saw that WKU was projected to finish 2nd in the CUSA this year (tourney team last year). Wichita shot the 3-ball well and had some bruisers, but they lacked poise. They struggled with a 1/3/1 press and shot free...

    What grade would you give the Gophers coaches in the big win over Illinois?

    I was pulling my hair out as we continued to rush 3 as Altmyer picked us apart. Great win. I also loved the fake punt attempt. B+

    ***OFFICIAL HAMLINE AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I just stated what I saw (the good and the bad). Past BJ teams were one injury away from disaster. That shouldn't be the case this year, although Frank Mitchell's injury is probably one of the worst possible, as he's the only true center. Thank goodness we don't play anyone with a pulse until...

    ***OFFICIAL HAMLINE AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Some things that jumped out to me for those who didn't watch: Gophs starting five jumped out to something like a 16-0 lead, then Frank Mitchell got hurt, and Ben did a Tubby Smith line change. Ben gave a ton of run to the deep bench, so take the score with a grain of salt. Rigsby: Most...

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    If the railcar ever gets back on the tracks, I could see some of these recently retired HOFers coming back to coach a few years down the road.

    Where does the USC win rank in the Gophers' P.J. Fleck era?

    Very fortunate to have attended #1, #2, #4. #1: The Penn State game atmosphere was the best I have ever been apart of. #2: Almost got beat up by multiple drunk skunk fans. I wasn’t being obnoxious, simply just cheering. In their defense, there was a lot of cheer for that day. #4 The...
