    Ben Johnson on Gophers’ 0-6 Big Ten start: ‘Nobody puts more pressure on myself than me’

    I get it. He is trying to keep a positive perspective on things, and I can appreciate the effort. However, as you said, 0-6, or 15-50, is not a lull. That is a pattern. If we think of Gopher's MBB as a process and plot the outputs (W/L) in an X bar R chart, the process is not experiencing a...

    Ben Johnson on Gophers’ 0-6 Big Ten start: ‘Nobody puts more pressure on myself than me’

    There is a part of me that feels bad, because this thing is cooked. Another part of me wishes he'd stop talking. Nobody wants to win more? Well that is reassuring. It is kind of like, your job.

    The transition from anger to apathy can be a very confusing time. Definitely not a linear process. I'm somewhere in the apathy to amusement stage, with some residual anger, but only when I'm drinking.

    Is it similar to the deal Coyle cut with you?

    Ben Johnson: We know we’re really close to breaking through. (video)

    I wouldn't read too much to any of these interviews or soundbites. Honestly, what else is he supposed to say at this point? Throw the team under the bus? Himself under the bus? Not going to happen. Whoever his PR person is needs to remind him it is ok to be positive - i.e. we are working on...

    Marcus: What if struggling Gophers men’s basketball hadn’t lost key players because of NIL?

    Get all of this out in the open, so the same mistakes are not made yet again. First time I've seen somebody call it out black and white like that, assuming it is valid.

    I'm thinking more of a solar oven, and we're going to be baked to a crisp.

    This team would be overwhelmed by talented student managers.

    Marcus: What if struggling Gophers men’s basketball hadn’t lost key players because of NIL?

    Agree. Closed door, player-only meetings and skipping media sessions generally signals the end of a coach, college or pro. There is always an outside miracle chance the blind gopher could still find a hole, but, if I'm putting money down, our gopher is out in the open and will soon be a meal.

    Marcus: What if struggling Gophers men’s basketball hadn’t lost key players because of NIL?

    Well, there we have it. "It's out of my control." Besides a total lack of head coach experience, he was and remains completely ill-equipped to handle this new landscape. The Minnesota Three were in a quiet mutiny last year and I'm guessing NIL was not the primary driver. Money becomes a factor...

    Gophers men’s basketball team airs frustration in players-led meeting after loss at Wisconsin

    Take things to alleviate the symptoms, but like a cold, The Suck just has to run its course. Only 56 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes, not that anyone is counting. ;)

    You have not seen Dave Chappelle with Charlie Murphy I presume. Prince LOVED this sketch.

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    I'm going out on a limb and surmising you never actually played organized basketball let alone coached a team. Anyone that has played even moderately competitive basketball can see this team has no identity, struggles with fundamentals and routinely lacks situational awareness. If it was truly...

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    I wholeheartedly disagree with the analysis and this quite honestly makes me really upset. We are not winning 3 conference games unless 3 teams decide to forfeit for fear of catching The Suck.
