I could not understand it as well and have been concerned about his rotations for some time. After a strongish regular season it was imperative to bring most everyone back. Instead, we get another mass exodus. It seems a lot of players have not been happy playing for Johnson. Maybe he's a...

Its hard to fathom (to me) that a kid who had a solid year on an up-and-up team would just bail. He will likely make more money elsewhere, but beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Worse than semi-pro.

CBB is a complete disaster and I no longer follow it with any regularity. Its not just the lack of team (and conference and coaching) stability; its the product itself; its horse poo compared to what it used to be. Yet these big TV contacts keep happening, so someone must be watching. My sense...

Payne could have led the team to something special next year, but he quit. Good riddance.

He will end up at a very prominent program. My guess is Kentucky.

Honestly, why is Ihnen still interested in playing college basketball?

Its a total waste of time as a fan. Thank God for the NBA.

Big failure by the coaching staff. JOJ is an elite athlete with excellent size and plenty of skill, yet Johnson would not play him on a team that was getting killed late in games due to fatigue.

Pay Christie what it takes to keep him one more year. Ditto Payne and other key returnees. Convnce JOJ to stay (and develop him) Add a couple more via portal. Gophers would be a strong team next year.

Awesome. Hope we play them tight.

Fatigue is understandable given that CBJ refuses to play more than 7 players. its one of the more baflling aspects of his coaching.

Makes little sense to fire a neophyte coach after three years when the third year showed significant improvement. Hopefully the steep part of the learning curve is over and CBJ continues to improve the roster. Plus, in the non-illustrious, hardly notable history of Gopher basketball, whats...

A numbers game? LOL. The Gophers have lost games due to fatigue. Still not convinced CBJ knows how to manage playing time or get the best out of his roster.

Terrible coaching. Gophers could not do anything right the last 10 min of the first half and our head coach does nothing but clap his hands. No subsitution; no timeouts; nothing. JOJ should take the first bus out of the Twin Cities. He has much to contribute, but its not here and certainly not...

Or just win the BTT. Its more likely than an at-large berth and far from impossible, IMO.

Lost the game at the FT line. This team is not good enough to overcome that much a a make disparity on the road. Disappointing.

With NCAA relying so heavily on NET rankings I doubt the Gophers have a realistic chance to make the tournament as an at-large team. However, there is still a chance through the BTT, which we have NEVER won. Get the double bye, hope you don't draw Purdue at any point, and win it. Simple.

The "CBJ is a disaster" thread is the true "disaster". A mod with a modicum of sense would delete it. Its trash and deserves to be buried.

13 wins in conference is asking a lot so I am not sure an at-large bid is in the cards. That said, get a decent seed for the BTT (for a a change) and win the damn thing.
