Why is Minnesota even being mentioned in the same headline as those other schools?

Clem didn't have any NCAA wins when he was hired, but he was clearly an excellent candidate that we were lucky to have a shot at hiring.

I echo all the posts on here that Coyle's statement feels like a weird, extreme cognitive dissonance. The Lord helps those who help themselves, Mark. What have YOU done to help this situation?

It's true that you can't un-fry an egg and that college basketball isn't going back to the way it was before, but what the OP describes continues to feel unsustainable. Any game/sport needs rules, including as they pertain to roster constitution. Chaos isn't a good business model going forward.

...after Utah had thrashed VCU by 20. Indiana State is simply very good. They're a top 20 team. The Gophers did pretty well to hang with them with Hawkins out and Garcia in bogus foul trouble.

I doubt if anyone's going to fellate anyone. Musselman is simply an excellent and proven coach and program builder, so why SHOULDN'T he have boosters here? Strange that anyone would be so angry about that.

When you see Dainja leaving Illinois and Storr leaving Wisconsin, you realize it's not about guys fleeing bad coaching, as both of those coaches are top shelf. In this new era, shit happens, and the challenge is to be able to roll with the punches and recover from it.

If he ends up there, we'll at least get to watch him on national TV in the NCAA tournament from our seats in the train being pulled behind the little engine that could.

He and Garcia were featured on the poster this year. And he didn't even start for much of the season!

If the choice is to keep kissing frogs or settle for a frog, I'm keeping up the kissing. If the choice for the Israelites was to keep wandering or hunker down, wandering is the only thing that'll eventually get you...somewhere else than where you are now.

I also expecct Hawkins to stay. Enough transferring is enough, and this was a good environment for him, at least as it allowed him to lead the nation in assists. I don't think he'll be looking a gift horse in the mouth in that regard. The linchpin obviously continues to be Garcia. Is no news...

That's exactly it. I'm rhetorically asking what the plan is and, whatever it is, whether it's realistic. It continues to feel like we're kicking the can down the road to nowhere. And for what? Optics? Really?

Exactly

Obviously, the story of the off season has yet to be written, and the Gophs have all kinds of playing time to offer a transfer center or two, but making the NCAA tourney would have to be considered a fanciful goal at this point. The administration is keeping Johnson with this knowledge. If their...

What a strange world we live in. Mack is a top-shelf coach.

The Gophers were better after Battle left, but it was because two outstanding guards signed, not because we were better off without Battle.

The new Northwestern indeed.

If true, I guess us fans weren't the only ones asking why Payne wasn't starting; he was, too.

He will be given a chance to pull a rabbit out of a hat in the off season, and by then, one way or another, it'll be too late to change horses. If he was going to be fired, it would have been immediate. I believe we're committed, even if it's a long death march.

Medved is an alum, by all accounts a great guy, and has now shown that can not only elevate a program but sustain and regenerate one in the portal era. He would be successful here.
