MinnPost Article on Scheduling (or why no Minnesota vs St. Thomas game yet)

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

How University of Minnesota, St. Thomas basketball coaches approach non-conference schedules

So CBJ isn't afraid of St. Thomas, it's just that no team in the Big Ten plays the same offense that UST plays.

Considering Minnpost readers don’t actually watch sports and think the U shouldn’t even have teams this makes perfect sense.

Bull, I was at the MinnPost Festival. The Timberwolves Forum was full, even though it was before the KAT trade was official, so the team officials couldn't comment.

Between Borzi and Robson, sports is covered pretty good.

UST and Gophers should be set in stone every year.

The "nothing to gain" mindset from the Gophers side is ridiculously soft.

What do you have to gain from playing North Texas...

Get a good coach and then run the Tommies off the court - every year. It'll be fun.

Was thinking the same. I can't believe some of the quotes. How can he consistently be so terrible at this?

I agreed with "there's nothing to gain playing them" take initially but it's now to the point where all of the local sports media that barely pay attention to college basketball would predict a St. Thomas win and you actually have more to gain than to lose.

Ben just has such a loser's mentality. Worried about losing this, scared of this, we could never beat this team, etc.

It's already been decided if that's the way you're going to think. So damn sick of it. It's embarrassing this guy got the job and has held it for 4 years.

Actually, he did say he’s afraid of playing UST. Like, directly

If he's worried about people chirping about this game, his comments are gasoline on a dumpster fire.
