    Weakling Wednesday Dropouts Updates

    Penn State is pretty much locked in after losing to Washington. Other two spots are still up for grabs though. Absolutely have to win our head to head games with Northwestern and Penn State which will hopefully keep us out of the bottom 3 mix.

    Hold up....I thought I was the only one who had control over Johnson's job status.... :)

    In college they still call moving screens. In the NBA you can basically grab the defender and take him with you and nothing will be called. Carries, Traveling, 3 second violations.....those things rarely get called in both college and pro ball (especially pro ball) but moving screens are still...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Cool....means absolutely nothing.....lose a couple games and the same local media people saying he has earned another year today will be saying it is time for a change.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Similar to the winning streak, games like today aren't likely to change the end result of Johnson getting fired at the end of the year but it is great to see the players still out there playing hard and getting rewarded for it.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yep....and big screen TVs and high def cameras make it seem even worse because fans get to sit on their couch watching zoomed in clips in super slow mo and then they question how the ref could possibly have missed the call. Never mind that the ref is watching everything in real time, from court...

    Lu'Cye Patterson

    Patterson is still streaky and has plenty of flaws but he is a definite key to this team and any success they are going to have over the remainder of the season. Similar to Hawkins and Mitchell last year it took him a while to start playing at a higher level but he is finally doing that more...

    Yeah, the contact was on the floor before the shot. Didn't matter because it was 2 shots regardless but there was definitely contact. Losing team griping about the refs is the story of every single close game in any sport.....tale as old as time.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't think there is much doubt that this would have been a better team overall if you swapped Hawkins/Payne for Patterson/F. Mitchell all season. Probably not drastically better but better. Hawkins probably does a better job getting Garcia involved, Payne could definitely have duplicated or...

    Yes....no....maybe....who the hell knows?.....does it matter?

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It looked especially bad because Johnson was out on the court as well. It wasn't till they showed the other angle that you could clearly see him trying to get the timeout well before the ball was put back in play. Odd sequence but in the end they did get the call right as we should have been...

    Sometimes you catch a break and the refs don't see it. Earlier in the game Frank was clearly fouled on a layup attempt and it was missed.....it happens all the time. They could have gotten Patterson for a foul there but in a nice twist of fate something bounced our way for a change.

    But they showed on video that he was clearly trying to call the timeout before the ball was inbounded however the official close to him wasn't paying attention so it ended up looking like he called timeout after the ball was inbounded.

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    So quite a few to still transfer out then before next season hopefully will continue to be depth pieces as opposed to key guys.

    Impressive road win, especially considering Garcia could never get his offensive game going tonight. UCLA game is going to be a tough one but nice knowing that at worst we split the West coast trip.

    Ya think? Don't think you would be able to find anyone (at least anyone sane) who thinks things are going well right now with Gopher basketball.

    Michael Rand Podcast: A listener wonders if Ben Johnson is getting a fair shake with Gophers

    I think we have all gotten so used to transfers that we are forgetting what it used to be like. In the old days players could definitely transfer but they had to sit a year if they weren't a grad transfer so those transfers were far less common, even after coaching changes. To be clear.....I...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    How many of the 22 commits does that factor in? Guessing there is going to be a decent amount of post spring movement as well to get to 105 for the fall

    Cody Lindenberg

    Cody is a heck of player, his biggest issue has been staying healthy. Day one starter is really high praise, hopefully some NFL team agrees and spends a decent draft pick on him.

    Michael Rand Podcast: A listener wonders if Ben Johnson is getting a fair shake with Gophers

    You may be 100% right but in regards to this part if you are going to take the transfers he brought in out of the equation then you have to put back the players he lost to transfers as well. He would have had at least a little bit of a foundation to start with, Gabe, Mashburn, Robbins....some...
