Since 2009, every fan in the state of MN has become fed up with illegal activities, sexual harassment, academic cheating, and promotion of thug behavior--but mostly the people of MN grew tired of seeing all the great young basketball talent leave. Other teams were getting better from our talent...

Man, a lot of angst in this message board. MN is just fine. They went to Indiana, made NO shots, looked a little too amped up (esp Mitchell), yet only lost by 12 points on the road in the BTN. So what?! Nebraska got smoked on the road even worse in the following game. Road wins are rare and...

Following up on CBJ getting the "right guys", a fairly deep dive into Gopher statistics since 2008: *Cam Christie has the 2nd highest Offensive Rating behind Hoffarber *Hawkins has the highest Assist Rate (38.6%) by far over Al Nolen and Nate Mason (28.9% and is leading in Usage Time on the...

Coach Johnson is playing 3D chess, while the GH message board is doing checkers. CBJ had nothing to start with. The team left after Pitino and everyone else was injured. Covid smeared everything else. Excuses? YES. Very valid excuses, but CBJ never whined about it. He is trying to build...

The Big Ten is not down. College basketball in general has a lot more parity than recent years. Current ratings/rank mean nothing in 2 months. MN is clearly better than the last few seasons, mostly due to health, depth, and the ability to finally defend and share the ball. MN did not "play...

He is Michigan’s Brad Davison. Annoying.

Breslin in where the Parolees of Michigan St. play.

I can relate to being slammed for positivity! I saw 10 conference wins going into the season and was roasted! Very winnable game tonight!

I think we will be able to limit Punk McDaniel in his scoring to under 16 pts rotating defenders. Tschetter scares me tonight as he is a very efficient scorer with size. MN needs to have a really good inside out game tonight, and get to the line at least 18-20 attempts. MN can def win if they...

Power rankings, AP and Coaches Polls, T-rank, KenPom all mean very little except for achieved statistical facts. The games are played by 20-year olds and literally anything can happen. Momentum and team chemistry develops, or doesn't, and the final standings are all that matters. Its fun to...

Markquis Nowell was pretty entertaining at KSt.

What a change of attitude from this group! I was told that I was a CBJ burner acct. when I said 10 wins in conf. First, the Big Ten is no worse than any other power conference. College bb in general is very even talent-wise. No team is dominant, and Purdue has a long history of choking, so...

10 conf wins, and play for NCAA bid in conf. tourney in Mpls!

MN is the best team Maine will face all season, by a wide margin.

https://mndaily.com/212002/uncategorized/1976-77-players-reflect-season-broken-dreams/ More historically relevant troubled history of MN basketball, that CBJ is correcting the right way, from ground up. Glad to hear Mychal coming back, would be great to have McHale's presence as well. Fly the...

Yea, Larry Bird was taken 6th that year by BOS. I believe Earvin Johnson was a year later taken first. Was fantastic seeing MN, which was a remarkably good team those years, lock up with MSU, Johnson et al. Mychal played with McHale '77-78 in 12-6 season.

At this point, agreed! There are always teams that underperform (based on "expert" preseason analysis), and teams that surprise. ANY team is gettable, and for MN to finish 6th I'm pretty sure they would have to win about 12 games. I have MN holding court winning 3 Jan. games, 4 Feb. contests...

In my 10-10 conference record preseason projection, the NCAA tournament likelihood stemmed from the results of the BTN conf. tourney in Mpls, which would be really exciting. The conference is gettable, esp. now with Illinois about to get scr*wed MN style in the Shannon incident.

I don't remember either Thompsons being spectacular in college. No matter now. Just glad to see Mychal speaking in support of MN basketball after all that time. My memories are that he was part of another NCAA investigation back in '78 (?) when the Nassau native sold a couple of Gopher BB...
