I would have more respect for Izzo if he would call a spade a spade. I appreciate Ben's effort in trying to be a P6 basketball coach but realistically he is not. Izzo should tell Ben (in confidence) to go down a few levels and do the work to become a D1 coach. Ben has been over his head and...

It would be a surprise for a team ranked #14 on 1 December to then not even make their conference tourney. I DO NOT think that Indiana will remain #14. I believe they will end the season outside of the top 25 but I do believe they will make the BIG tourney

covered the spread, shot 83% from the line. Who are these guys and what have you done with the Gophers?

Today starts the big push Did we win? BC only lost to Nebby by 5. We are favored by 16.5. Not penciling in this as a win yet. IF we win, doubt it will be by more than 5 or so. Certainly, won't be watching on crappy BT+. I'll be following online. This game should tell us if the team has...

I'm betting Ben is laughing all the way to the bank saying "I can't believe they are still paying me"

Honestly not a grammar nazi but it's "tread" not "thread". We all know what you meant. Hey Ben, use your damn bench please! Doubt he goes deeper that 8 today. Will Betts get any PT? Doubt it. Looking more and more like a bust to me.

Since my original post and after reading all of the comments I'm leaning towards not pulling the plug after the 9 December game. In season termination is really tough to handle unless it's evident that Ben has completely lost this team. I'm hoping that the AD pulls the plug the minute the team...

Let's face it, Ben will not be coaching the Gophers in 2025/2026. Rarely are coaches fired in December so I'm guessing that won't happen. With the bottom 3 in the BIG(18) NOT going to the BIG tournament when the Gophers are locked into one of those bottom three slots that will be a good time...

Any D1 scholarship basketball player who isn't part of the top 8 on their team by their RS Junior year (4th year) is a bust. I predict Betts will not be part of the top 8 for the Gophers next season. Ben will be gone. Good chance Betts will be also. Yes, A bust.

I'll never completely step away. I have backed down from looking at depth charts, injury reports and knowing most of the players back stories. I just cannot be as invested when Gopher football (and basketball) do nothing but completely let me down. I'll always watch and follow. No new Gopher...

Hey TE's, can you catch the ball? Nope. Can you block? Nope. Why are you here?

A 3 yd pass when you need 9. Out f ing standing!

our TE's can't block. What's new

They aren't flat because of the flight/time zones. They're flat because they are the phucking Gophers! SHit show. 24-0 we lose this one. No bowl this season.

UCLA punter isn't in the stadium. We'll never know because we can't stop a D2 team tonight.

He doesn't look like an NBA power forward, but he has perimeter shooting skills which may translate to an NBA wing. Choosing a wing between Garcia, Fox, Big Mitchell or Edmonds, I think Garcia is the best choice. The other three need to be near the basket to utilize their offensive skills...

OK, I'll play. The 2025-2026 roster will have 13 guys on it that are currently not on the roster. And Ben won't be the coach. How's that?

And yet there you go

I went back and looked at Payne's production vs our non conference schedule. Arguably worst competition than Canisius conference schedule. Payne's non conf stats are not impressive. I think it is more of a wash. With Mitchell being fairly new to basketball I'm optimistic that he will get better.

I agree with all of that. I won't say we are better or worse until the fall roster is set. Most teams as of this date still have holes in their roster. Let's see who the next few players to sign with MN are. I can pretty much guarantee Ben will sign someone. Also, I'll go out on a limb and...
