    Tom Izzo: Ben's done an unbelievable job with the program, they could be the #1 team in the league next season.

    Yah I'm sure Izzo likes CBJ as a person, I feel like everyone does but come on what's he going to say? I'd note that he isn't out here praising Painter and Underwood, hmm I wonder why.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS MICHIGAN STATE BTT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Well...I guess time to worry about this supposed top 25 team next year.

    Jay Wright Details Why the Blueblood Era in College Basketball Is Over

    Jay Wright is an elite basketball mind, very smart guy. However i think this is incorrect. As we sit today Uconn/UK/Duke/UNC are all in the top 11, KU is 16th and has a "terrible" year. All are likely to be 4 seeds or higher, Duke has the #1 recruiting class coming in (possibly a historic one)...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    And I don't disagree that it's a very tough job. But again, if you finish 9th in the conference with 1 Q1 win, are only playing 6 players, don't even make the NIT and you lose 1 solid guy every time you get 1, you are not qualified to be a D1 coach. It is literally his job to show guys how to...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I'd push back on this pretty hard. If a P5 can't get a good player in the portal because of this roster, he shouldn't be the coach. You seem to imply we are so flush with talent there is no opportunity there. We might not even make the NIT! We played 6 guys basically the last 3 games. There's...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    You are certainly free to look at any rankings you want, but a note, 5-10 years ago rivals was the standard, they are not that anymore. They are one of the worst recruiting sites out there. And naturally every site has hits and misses but just stating rivals isn't what it used to be in the...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I honestly don't look or worry too much about HS recruiting. Sure you need some and top end guys are never a bad thing, but with the portal it's so much less critical than it used to be. I personally think Grove is a bad use of a scholarship but if he is then he'll likely be like a Thompson or...

    #9 Gophers vs #8 Spartans Thursday at 11am

    Yah sure....or it's actually scheduling strong with teams like Duke, AZ, FAU, Baylor etc vs scheduling 10 teams that might be middle of the pack NSIC teams.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    You are in some ways absolutely correct. We have tried a mixture of vet, hot name, young name alum and it hasn't worked. But that's unfortunately the system, you never really know. It's almost exactly like the Vikings QB spot. We've tried all kinds of options and never found that 15 year...

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Wilson can give us 5-10 minutes a night, his job is to play tough D, push opposing center away from hoop, get some rebounds, and hammer anyone coming into his zone. He will have 5 fouls to give, the harder the better. Sorry don't know how to cross quote but this was in the Wilson commits...

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The first 2 years were coaching malpractice. Zero questions asked. This year I am absolutely confused. Games we are up 15+ and lose, or the Nebraska/USF/Indiana game I think CBJ might be the actual worst coach in the NCAA. Then there are games we are down 15 and storm back to win, or score...

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This has been an absolute disaster game. Awful shot selection, awful turnovers, awful post defense, nothing off the bench. Looks much like CBJ years 1-2

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Been an incredibly poor showing thus far. Should've buried them. Making a ton of poor plays. I know Carrington is out but you have to get the guards some break.

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This team has to have some sort of program record for 10-2 runs allowed/made in a season. Consistently inconsistent! 🤣 certainly makes for entertainment

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Probably helps that his buyout is roughly $12m but they worked it in that they can pay him $1m a year until it's paid off. Easier to find $1m a year vs 12 in one swoop.

    might need MM to put in a good word! Never hurts to have too many shooters

    Coyle: "If everybody comes back we'll be a top-25 team preseason next year"

    That's what I thought he was getting at as well. Because ya know no one wants to play anyone good! What a stupid thing to say Coyle

    ***OFFICIAL PENN ST AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Well, again I'd prefer a nice comfy 40 min win ha but they make it interesting! Easy to hang in there with a hot PSU start. Would be great if we could sneak up to the 5/6 seed to avoid Pur/Illinois in the BTT
