Describe the Gophers basketball season in 1 sentence









Worst luck ever. That 7 game stretch where they led at half, lost in OT, etc.etc was something that no other D1 program has experienced in more than 30 years,. They then beat Michigan State and lost yet another game like the above 7 to Maryland. Now throw in all of that happened after losing their starting PG (and rumored highest $ player on the roster) and their starting C to season ending injuries.

Obviously, there were things that could have been done much better to avoid some of the on the court outcomes, but to have all of this happen in one season is absurd even for a program where bad luck has been normal.
 














Very encouraging that they were able to put a quality product on the court while navigating a ridiculous injury situation.
 


Encouraging signs and reasonably pleased by the new coach's performance in his first year, but ive fallen for fools gold too often to be satisfied with a season where the biggest positive is "reasons the future looks bright "
 

Encouraging start to Niko area, next step getting better talent and to the tournament.
