Betts as a 4? I don't see that. Where is the kid going to play?

Pre-season and early in the season very few people were talking about running basically three guards. I didn't know the exact order but I was pretty sure Hawkins was the PG, then some combo of Mitchell, Christie, Carrington at the 2-3. There was much talk about Ihnen and a little regarding...

+1 on guard situation. If current guards stay +Asuma we are fine at the 1-2 spot. I don't mind the 3 guard sets but would love for a guy like Betts to shine a bit at the 3 next season as a shooter. I see us thin at the 4-5 next year. Garcia and Payne are solid and I like Fox as an energy...

With 3 to play we are +1.5 from 13th place. The only spot we are guaranteed to not be in is 14th. The best we could possibly be is 4th. My guess at this point we will end up 10-10 and 8th place.

Yup, need a fully stocked hospital and rehab center set up for all of the athletes and coaches wounded and maimed from court storming over the past 50 years. What's that total # again? 1?, 2? More coaches and athletes have been hurt/died on the way to the sporting event then any court storming.

I wasn't suggesting he be fired after next season if the Gophers don't make the NCAA but I can see how that looks/sounds. In fact, if next season is similar to this season (a .500 record) I think Ben will get a 5th year. I want to get out of the acceptance of mediocrity mode. Coaching in the...

The Ben disaster thread is old and tired. Most can agree he has moved well off the disaster spot on the performance dial With that being said I will not post on that old thread and thought we could start a new discussion on where Ben is now and where we think he and this team (and next's...

I haven't seen anyone say we should have played 10-12 games against projected top 30 teams. Most P6 teams play 2-4 games against projected NCAA tournament teams sprinkled in with 8-10 games against teams ranging from say 100-250 in the projected rankings. MN played basically no one (maybe San...

I think there is room for discussion regarding words like "constant" and bashing. I have posted a few negative comments regarding Ben since his hiring. I am enjoying this season and regardless of who the coach is, I want the Gophers to win. What I don't like from the pro Ben crowd over the...

I do not care about the awards. I would rather be a double bye team with an invite to the dance than have any all conf, freshman of the year, player of the year, coach of the year awards. Have you ever heard "my team sucks and didn't make the dance, but the HC was voted coach of the year"?

proudly eating crow on this one. I said 7 +/- 3 and I said the under. 8 with 5 to go. I'm thinking 10-10. Outside shot at 11-9. Good job Gophers.

And yet we (MN AD) doubled down and hired a guy with even LESS (HC) experience. I like the progress Ben is making. I'm also proud of this team and what the coach and players are accomplishing. The gophers could hire John Wooden reincarnated and someone on GH would bitch about it asking...

Ben can use Battle as an example at the end of the season to talk to the team about the pro's/con's of the transfer portal. Sure hope most of the team eligible to stay does just that. Tonight? Let's win this.

Move those goalposts.

Looking for any kind of entertainment value at this point.

^This is a tough one. Over 90% of D1 teams lose at least one player to the portal. Over 20% of all players enter the portal. Almost 50% don't have a roster spot the next season. It will depend on who leaves and what the new season roster looks like. Don't know exactly what the AD is looking...

Civility on GH? LOL I do think Ben will get at least one more year. The only way he doesn't is if there is some kind of total collapse. I'm optimistic for Ben and the Gophers in 2024. They need a jump in 2024-2025 just like they had a jump from 2023-2024. Can't be less that 10-10 next...

You didn't ask the question to me, but I'll give my answer. Any coach in a P6 conference that has never been a HC at any level, finished historically dead last in the conf his first 2 years and in his third year does not make the NCAA of NIT should be fired. Clear enough??

I would throw Ihnen, Betts, Wilson and the rest of the bench out there for Purdue. Rest the starters and prep for what's left of the BIG season.

Mulligan, experiencing reading comprehension issues since 2009. Triggered much? I state fact and say I'm enjoying the season, and you go off. Nice, troll. Seems like you are suggesting either Ben shouldn't have a plan if/when a player leaves the program prematurely or you think the Gophers...
