Every Team, Ranked from First to Worst (72. Minnesota: Medved will bring the program back to prominence, but it will be a while.)

Per Busting Brackets:

72. Minnesota Golden Gophers- Last Season Ranking: 60

Conference: Big Ten

Player to know: BJ Omot

Minnesota fans are relieved that the Ben Johnson era of Gopher basketball is finally over. Minnesota never lived up to the expectations that their rosters often had. The Gophers hired Niko Medved, who was a home run and will bring the program back to prominence, but it will be a while. The Big Ten is deep this year, and Minnesota is going to be pesky, but they don't have enough to win most nights in that league.

If BJ Omot turns out to be the player to know, I’ll be a lot more excited about this season. At the moment he appeared to be our 7th or 8th best player as he works his way back from injury.

I am cautiously optimistic about this squad. I think they are going to surprise this year.
