I like Asuma. He’s going to play a lot.

Disappointed that we don’t play better defense against a team like this. No Odukale, Patterson or Peterson but cmon- looking for a second half shut down performance

Only bright spot so far is big Frank

That's fair. However, you have three audiences: Coyle- who it appears can be satisfied by fogging a mirror The players- who probably are happy with low expectations The fans- who are rapidly losing interest in paying for the product because their own expectations are so low. Make me expect...

Couple the "win 10" statement with the "we won't know our identity until December" statement and you have- at least for me- a real reason for concern about whether this coach can inspire the Gophers to ever become at least an occasional top half of the Big Ten squad.

I don't think the problem had anything to do with high expectations. We are a crap program. I want it to be better. Weak excuse. If you want to win, you pay to do so. mmmmhmmm- probably- last year it was NCAAs or bust because he had been so awful his first two years It doesn't sound like he...

I hate his line, "let's get 10!" (because last year we won 9). I just can't imagine going into the locker room and addressing the team with - "Boys, we have a chance to be .500 this year!"

I agree. Ben needs to stop with the BS. When he got hired he said we’d be gritty. Just step out and make a promise for once. Set expectations that we will be great defensively, that we are going to be a squad that claws for every possession. We have depth- there is no reason that in year 4 he...

Gives Asuma a shot at a little more early PT. That's the only good thing...

It should be easier for Minnesota to get good HS recruits now that the big boys are spending more time at scoring major transfers. But we aren't taking advantage yet....

It just is nowhere near as interesting as it used to be. Now, even when you get them it feels fleeting. That said, I still think it is very important to succeed in HS recruiting, even though the majority of the building of a team is spring transfers. Ugh

I agree in general with your post. I do wonder though, if the "hot seat" matters much anymore in the free agency world. Right now it feels to me like most players are thinking- get on the court and TV, get your playing time and build your stats and you can make big money. If Ben is gone next...

This. If Darnold has a good year- trade him. Double win.

There is some pretty good video on him where it shows him to be a pretty creative finisher but good outside shooter (at least good form) as well.

Radford. We either buy their players with NIL or we out recruit them for HS players!

Now go get big Tommy Ahmeman !

Welcome home Kai! Go Gophers!

Personality? No. Strategy? Yes.

Well, the scheduling just reeks of a no confidence vote on the team and also just shows no interest in warming up the fan base. It's stick in the eye of fans. I (without seeing them) like the team and would like to see them challenged and win some of those contests and that should be something...

Minimum 21 wins by those teams. So yeah, if we get to 21 wins with our schedule - let's say 10-1 and 10-10 and one BTT win that might do it. It's just that the schedule takes away almost any chance that you can get in with 20 wins or less. You can get in with 18-19 wins if you are a power...
