per ITH:
Bottom Line: Pitino enters his third season at Minnesota and his fourth overall as a head coach without an NCAA tournament appearance on his resume. Still, the athletic department rewarded him with a contract extension and appears committed to seeing things through despite his name coming up for multiple job openings last season. Minnesota’s roster underwent significant turnover and the losses of Hollins and Walker will be difficult to replace. Minnesota underachieved last season after an encouraging run through the NIT the previous season. In a league that will be incredibly difficult to crack the top 8 or 9 in the league standings, Minnesota will face an uphill battle to finish as one of the league’s ten best teams.
