Michigan was supposed to be stellar housing two potential All-Big 10 players in Deshawn Sims (big man and could be compared to Oturu) and Manny Harris (guard could be compared to Carr). And, they had a sniper from deep in Zach Novak (who could be compared to Gabe, a little bit). Michigan ended...

I hope the Gophers come out and beat MD of course. But, I just feel like another let down is coming. They don't have the depth to compete with the upper BIG Teams. I mean it's definitely a must win to keep our very slim hopes of reaching the NCAA alive. The Badgers have played very well since...

Last night and Iowa game were full of good looks. We couldn't capitalize on a few point blank open layups and bricked every 3 in the clutch. For me, I agree with some of what you're saying but it's a mixed bag with this team.

This would be a very logical choice since he has ties to the Gophers and played for them. I hope the Cavs don't retain him. Good call!

7 years of overall mediocrity sums up the Pitino tenure. The team has flat out given up this year as you can see over the past 5/6 games being losses. This seems to happen too often in the Pitino era. He's never recruited a pure shooter either. In this day and age you need a few pure shooters on...

I wouldn't say the in-state recruiting has been as bad as advertised. Coffey, Oturu, Gabe were all 4-star recruits. And, Coffey is currently playing in the NBA and Oturu will follow suit. I can't really blame a kid like Matthew Hurt for wanting to go to Duke. He may have made the wrong choice...

In my opinion Ihnen was a huge bright spot in our loss yesterday. He hasn't received a lot of playing time this year but that is going to change. Seems like he plays with some good confidence and isn't afraid to shoot and can potentially knock down some big shots with more playing time. I'd...

I think the Michigan State loss was pretty bad overall for being at home. Let's see if we can take down Illinois tonight. We won't be fading if we do that on the road.

We moved up four spots since his last Bracketology posting on 1/24/2020. Nice to see that our strong NC schedule is paying dividends for a team with a 11-9 record. I assumed we wouldn't be in super close consideration for the NCAA tournament after getting blown out by 20 at home. Granted, to a...

https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/ This is usually one of the more accurate forecasts. I've seen another one that has Oturu going 19th.

I agree. Hopefully this sets an example that playing in the Big Ten for a team like the Gophers and playing and developing well can get you into the NBA lottery as well. I hope Chet Holmgren may consider staying home after seeing what's going to happen with Oturu.

I think that losing by what 6? on the road @Butler who is a projected one seed is actually helpful for us should we end up with 17-18 wins.

Easton Stick last year to the Chargers?

I can't believe they considered firing him over the thugs comment. Unreal! He'd be smart to resign and coach college again next season.

Let's make him a Viking! Rhodes replacement.

Marcus Carr had a phenomenal game overall. He was trying to do a little bit too much there at the end but he was absolutely gassed. Would have definitely helped to give him a couple breathers down the stretch. I don't think he makes those dumb mistakes and turnovers if he had a chance to get...

The Pohland's are fine with mediocrity which is really upsetting. They seem okay having a playoff team every 5-7 years that gets swept by the NYY. They haven't done shit in the off-season that's worth talking about and I don't expect them to do anything but add a few meddling starters to fill...

Looking like we'll have to go hard after Ryu. Who, I think will regress this year pitching in a colder climate to start the season as well. And, due to age. I am guessing we'll add a guy like Julio Tehran in the end. The low-budget analytical fix type of thing like we tried with Martin Perez...

Reusse has always been my favorite Trib writer. He's a realist. He'll give praise when praise is due, but he's brutally honest kind of like Simon Cowell. I find his sarcasm funny and usually his writing isn't too far off from the truth.
