    Shama: As of last week, the men’s program had sold 4,482 full season tickets including 242 to faculty and staff. That compared with 4,800 for 2023-24.

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

    My early view is that our starting 5 from last year was better than what we have this year....but the depth on this squad is much better. It appears that everyone on the team is an able defender, which is better than last year where we had a few guys who were deficits on that end. Will the depth...

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I am going with the theory that if you recruit good HS players AND you put together a competitive NIL program, you become the incumbent and have the best chance to keep those players. The reason we lost Hawkins and Payne is because we were not prepared with competitive money. While the older...

    Yep. I think our administration is just fine with it. They are good with taking the $120 million in TV revenue and running.

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

    Whether Buxton is hitting .280 or .180 you know he is going to get injured in short order, so you are right, it is nothing to worry about.

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

    Frank will be a better rebounder and passer than Payne. Payne had the ability to change things defensively that I doubt Frank does do to his height and Payne's vertical. Payne was an above the rim finisher and I don't see Frank doing that. As far as Christie, I am trying to see if we can match...

    The team doesn't look impressive to me. I think Christie is replaceable by a guy like Rigsby, but I really don't see replacements for Payne or Hawkins in terms of speed and athleticism. This will be a physically strong team. I hope Cochrane and Femi are difference makers.

    You are right. Johnson needs to win this year or they need to get a coach that makes fans and donors believe they will- based on that coach's past track record. The Tubby hiring gave the program a short term surge, but he fizzled. The last two hires have been guys with no history of winning at...

    The administration needs to get serious about pushing donors for a far bigger fund. They will need to start with showing a desire to win. The reality now is- little NIL = little success.

    I just don't love Betts' size at the 4 unless he really muscles up. He is a tweener now, muscle up to get to be a 4 or develop more 3 skills.

    I think Grove is the likely heir to the Garcia slot. Grove moves well and has size. I like him, from the little bit I saw on Saturday.

    I think he is going to give Betts a shot, like he did Ihnen...and then the minutes will wane if he doesn't produce. Some guys do it in practice and can't do it when the lights come on and others are the opposite. I saw Ihnen in a practice before the year started last year and he was pretty...

    That was me. I screwed up- I should have said Cochrane. Sorry to mislead on that one... I was trying to remember the roster without referring to anything and I am not quite there yet!

    He and Asuma are a good frosh pair. Hope we can keep them.
