SOS aside, both WI and IA are very beatable by a solid but not great Gophers team. If I did not have concerns about the offensive scheme/coaching I'd go with the Gophers in both games.

Amir is a legit part of the Clippers rotation. Wish he had knocked down a couple of those corner 3's; like his new haircut.

Frost has a losing attitude and it carries over to his team. Good luck to them.

I dont think Oturu has a future career in the NBA. His best bet is to find something in Europe. Amir has a better size/skill set combination and is sticking around longer.

Glorified community colleges? That is a truly ignorant comment.

Kentucky has a very solid football team and one of the better coaches in the country. They also routinely draw 60K fans to their games, even during their lean years.

Last I looked his Final 4 banners at UK are still hanging. UK is an NBA proving ground with a rich history and a competent and motivating coach Thats 95% of the recruiting done for you.

I hope Coyle stays a few more years at MN. He has done a good job and its nice to have a stable AD situation. That said, Kentucky is an objectively better job. Better teams; better conference; more dedicated/loyal fanbase; better local and statewide support. Not sure about facilities across the...

Well, as tenured faculty at a Big 10 school, I do feel the AAU is an elitist club that has little bearing on an actual education that a student athlete (or any student) can receive. Is research your thing? There is lots of high impact research done outside the AAU, believe it or not.

Time to drop the meaningless and arrogant AAU requirement. Dont see Louisville on the list and they are good enough for the ACC.

ND? Nope. Virginia? Never leave ACC. Missouri, Colorado, and ISU? Meh. Kansas? Yuck. Would love to somehow snare Kentucky and Louisville since each has elite history in b-ball and both are strong in football (in recent years). Plus, Kentucky has an elite womens volleyball team and would be a...

Sounds like a a major mess.

Marcus was incredible for the Gophers but I think he would better off playing elsewhere with a team that is not a total rebuild. Would not complain if he came back though. Not at all.

Back to Ihnen. Pitino did a poor job developing Isaiah (and several other players) last year and the offensive scheme was only part of the problem. I think Isaiah has a lot more to offer and hope Ben can instill confidence in him. He has some unique physical tools and a lot of upside--still.

College basketball is basically a farce at this point.

Times certainly have changed.

Can you coach or not? With Ben, I have no idea, but its a blank slate. With Whalen, the evidence is building that she's not a good college basketball coach. Great player? Absolutely.

Psst, what a cynical way to share news of a devastating injury.

Beyond wild speculation. Ben is his guy.

Because: (i) he cant recruit MN any worse than the previous coach; (ii) I expect he will connect with his players better than Pitino; (iii) he has a strong Xs and Os assistant; (iv) I think he will be more willing to get down and dirty on the recruiting trail.
