    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Steal one on the road tonight, and all is forgiven for Washington loss. 1-1 expected in those games.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Torvik has Game Scores for each contesting team's games, and over the last 4 games MN has had game scores 92, 90, 96, 96! Other than some bad turnovers, there hasn't been anything to complain about, yet some of you's still have some self-loathing, MN pessimism. MSU has been playing their best...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    MSU hasn't had a very tough gauntlet MN schedule with wins against--MN, NEB, OSU, WASH, NU, PSU, ILL, RUT--Wins over bottom 6 in Big Ten standings. After MN, Sparty could lose 8 of their next 9 games--@USC, @UCLA, ORE, IU, @ILL, PUR, @MICH, @MD, WISC. MN and MSU have the same 2-1 record vs...

    WTF? Are the Gophers actually good?

    Yep. Assuming Sparty will shoot their normal 30% from 3, the team with the most layups wins this game.

    WTF? Are the Gophers actually good?

    Looking at Torvik Projections from July ‘24, compared to my projections. Not terrible. 🤪 After looking at this the groupings would be: 1/2 (Purdue/Michigan St.) 3/4 (Illinois/Indiana) 5/6/7 (Michigan/NU/USC) 8/9/10/11 (MD/UCLA/OSU/Wisc) 12/13/14/15 (Rut/MN/Ore/Iowa) 16 Neb 17 Wash 18...

    Weakling Wednesday Final Weekend: Iowa @ Nebraska for the Final "Chair and a Chance"

    For Rutgers its never good when your two best defensive rated players are freshmen, and having to adjust to Big Ten defenders against them--problematic. In my pre-season notes, I have "No center (Omoruyi gone), 2 freshmen Bailey and Harper starting, then what?" :o They were high on my...

    McGowan: How Golden Gophers can give Michigan State its first Big Ten loss

    Agree 100% Make it a rock fight. Dawson can hopefully get guys in foul trouble.

    What is Coyle's, "keep Ben, win tally?"

    Three very differing outcomes for CBJ and the Gophers season. I hope they continue solid play and win 6/+ more BTN games, finish the season 9-11/10-10 AND have a solid BigTen Tournament showing winning a couple games--CBJ clearly will be finishing his contract. Going 19-15/20-14 for season is...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Huge game. Despite their solid shooting, Iowa -17, -10 on the boards in losses to USC, UCLA..

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    Yea, but not SFU much. Sad story. My NCAA coaches reference was prior to his passing. Forgot about it, wasn't meant to offend.

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    Yea, I realized that after posting. Point being that some guys would love to be in B10 money. Amir Abdur-Rahim is another name, but he's locked up under contract until 2030 making $11M/yr.

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    In search of non-P4 coaches who would love to step up into Big Ten money pools, here is a potential list of coaches that might be swayed to MN not named Dutcher. Wayne Tinkle (Ore. St.) $8.7M--2027 Cuonzo Martin (Missouri St.) $600k--'28/'29 Craig Smith (Utah) $1.8+$100k/yr--'26/'27 Greg...

    Greder: If #Gophers don't bounce back, Mark Coyle will have hard questions to answer on future with Ben Johnson.

    Only time will tell, and there is a lot of time between now and March for things to reveal themselves.

    Greder: If #Gophers don't bounce back, Mark Coyle will have hard questions to answer on future with Ben Johnson.

    OK, the pitchfork crowd is out in full force. I get that MN has lost its first 2 Big Ten games and hasn't looked very good so far in non-conf. I would argue that this does not justify a CBJ firing either mid-season, or at the end of the season.*. None of the following listed below are Ben's...

    Besides the Gophers who do you cheer for?

    Yea, UMD hockey has sadly been put into an NIL disadvantage and isn't the dynasty we are used to. Good D2 bb program and coach. Love Duluth as a city.

    Should Minnesota change it's athletic model to a professional model?

    Yes, that or hire an agent to negotiate with the player's agents.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I just don't know about this team. Transfers underwhelming. Shooting terribly from all distances. Not attacking the rim. I was hoping for a more connected, older experienced group of players that would pass more, dribble less, go up-tempo and get better shots prior to clock expiring. They...

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IZZO LONG POST-GAME HANDSHAKE WITH JOHNSON, POST-GAME PRAISE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Garcia has to find the open guy once the double team/help arrives. Edey was terrific at that last year, and if Dawson has NBA aspirations he has to find the open man. MN cannot stand around watching iso ball. MSU needs to be tired after every MN possession guarding guys that are in constant...
