A lot has been said about our weak non-conference schedule that produced 6 wins for a team that very well could finish without another win this year. Thus far, the combined record of those 6 teams is 32-60. Of those 32 wins, 12 of them were versus D2 schools. So, were looking at 20 D1 wins from those 6 teams. If you keep looking closer, those 20 wins are just as suspect. Western Michigan has 4 wins. Two against D2 schools and one of the other two against Houston Christian, who themselves have half of their wins vs. D2 schools. Also, we have a W against St . Francis who have half their wins against teams who combined for a total of 1 D1 victory this year. You start looking at the win tree, of the teams we beat, there's probably 5 or so actual wins against a decent school. This is truly the worst Gopher team I've seen in the 25+ years I've followed the team. Without those cupcake non-conference opponents, it's possible we could have a season with only a win or two
 

Agree. Atrocious roster construction, speed, execution, coaching, execution, and talent level.

Honestly, if you take the way we played against Wisconsin (20 turnovers), it would be a complete toss up via UST.
-gophers Jane an overwhelming size advantage but they just continually turn it over + they give so many points away at the free throw line
-UST would stay in the game with shooting and how they value the ball
