Only time will tell, and there is a lot of time between now and March for things to reveal themselves.

OK, the pitchfork crowd is out in full force. I get that MN has lost its first 2 Big Ten games and hasn't looked very good so far in non-conf. I would argue that this does not justify a CBJ firing either mid-season, or at the end of the season.*. None of the following listed below are Ben's...

Yea, UMD hockey has sadly been put into an NIL disadvantage and isn't the dynasty we are used to. Good D2 bb program and coach. Love Duluth as a city.

Yes, that or hire an agent to negotiate with the player's agents.

I just don't know about this team. Transfers underwhelming. Shooting terribly from all distances. Not attacking the rim. I was hoping for a more connected, older experienced group of players that would pass more, dribble less, go up-tempo and get better shots prior to clock expiring. They...

Garcia has to find the open guy once the double team/help arrives. Edey was terrific at that last year, and if Dawson has NBA aspirations he has to find the open man. MN cannot stand around watching iso ball. MSU needs to be tired after every MN possession guarding guys that are in constant...

Izzo will work the refs continuously, get favorable calls (you can picture his face whining right now!) Despite playing their best game of the year against NC, my hope is the Spartans will not reach 80 pts tonight, play like they did against Bowling Green, will turn the ball over 15+ times...

With Big Ten play about to start, I can't say that I am as optimistic as I'd like to be. Untimely injuries happen, teams develop chemistry, and momentum can shift. Coming into the season as compared to the current development, some thoughts. Torvik initially ranked MN at #71 and a rating of...

Currently tied for the lead at 0-0!

MN Gopher fans be like-- Michigan State Narrowly Escapes Bowling Green--"Wow, Bowling Green has some really good players, esp that big guy". Wisconsin Taken Down to the Wire vs UTRGV--"Wow, Rio Grande was long and had good shooters". Minnesota Beats Yale With Second Half Rally--"Gophers suck...

Oldie but goodie. Go Gophers!

[/MEDIA] Watching the play I thought it was a fractured tibia, which would be catastrophic. The way he was holding it scared me. If its truly an "ankle" injury that's a major dodged bullet.

6 Q1 wins 1-1 or 2-1 in BTN Tourney NCAA selection-don't lay an egg in MM Tourney Attract immediate impact transfers at needed positions Commits from 2025 Jefferson, Bartlett, Seely or comparable Commits from 2026 Wiggins or comparable No NCAA violations/infractions

That's not the worst news by far. Hopefully be back before Orlando event.

I love this. My optimistic view is such that I have MN in bubble at 21-10 season, 11-9 conf. play. Conf. Tourney will determine bid. I have MN going 6-1 in "Beat top half in the Barn" games, but 2-4 in "Winnable Road Games", and 0-4 in "Big Boy Pants".

Visual of MN non-conf opponents, pending Orlando results.

CBJ seems to be recruiting, building rosters, establishing a culture around people of faith. That may or may not explain the recruitment or lack thereof regarding certain players. Merely an observation.

Totally agree, but we have to remember that Christie was a big defensive liability. It only takes one guy out of 5 to completely blow up a defense.

I just love "expert" opinion predictions. The difference between 8th and 18th in the Big Ten this next year is razor thin. MN shouldn't be last when the dust settles, and could very well win 11 conference games.

With the talk about players going from D2 to P5 with limited success, it reminded me of Alex Illikainen, a top 100 ****national recruit from Grand Rapids who went to the Badgers at UW, flamed out, and transferred to D2 UMD. Coach Justin Wieck was thrilled to have him, but he wasn't great at UMD...
