I feel calling them offensive sets is being a bit generous. It kinda looks like abstract art.The Gophers started 3 guards tonight that wouldn't even get minutes on most good high-major teams in Patterson, Rigsby, and Odukale. You can take one look at them and see they aren't B1G level players.
And Ben Johnson's half court offensive sets are fireable.

Even Joey be leaving on this team.Garcia not getting paid enough for this.
-Odukale can't dribble, take care of the ball, or hit the broad side of a barnI’m not sold on these transfers.
I'll watch some Colorado State games this year so I can get familiar with our new coach for next year.The offensive flow between the two teams says enough. North Texas got what they wanted on almost every play. We’re lucky we didn’t lose by 20.
There’s zero offensive flow. Going to be a long year; but, hopefully it results in a new coach. I wanted Ben to do well but it’s time.
For the record, I think (likely we all think) Ben needs to be gone at the end of the season. But for whatever new coach we get, collectives, businesses, and donors: please please give him better NIL funding to work with because it'd take a miracle coaching job to put together a tournament team here absent of some better NIL. Even 300-400k more a year to work with makes a giant difference.I'll watch some Colorado State games this year so I can get familiar with our new coach for next year.
The new administration is doing amazing things to inflation....Tickets were -$3 on Stubhub.
As in, they gave you 3 bucks if you agreed to take one.
The one who chose him is no longer in MN.Highly doubt it. Ben was chosen.
Betts was a healthy DNP as far as I know. But Ben is amazed with him in practice. Believe me.North Texas remains undefeated. They were quick.
But, Caleb Williams is out with mono...so we were not at full strength.
And Mike Mitchell and Betts too?
Gray Duck Vodka is really good for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. The team is going to suck, so let's just all tie one on and try to pump up the NIL collective!For the record, I think (likely we all think) Ben needs to be gone at the end of the season.

Wasn't just one person but point taken.The one who chose him is no longer in MN.
Battle had to leave because of himBetts was a healthy DNP as far as I know. But Ben is amazed with him in practice. Believe me.
I'm not Coyle's biggest fan, but I'll never believe Ben was his first choice. Now it's just a matter of whether he gives a damn about men's basketball or not.Wasn't just one person but point taken.
Betts is injured.Betts was a healthy DNP as far as I know. But Ben is amazed with him in practice. Believe me.
At this point, I have a hard time believing we can hire an established coach with a winning tradition. Think we will have to take a flyer on a lower division coach who has shown ability to win, recruit and play a brand of bb that is fun to watch.I'm not Coyle's biggest fan, but I'll never believe Ben was his first choice. Now it's just a matter of whether he gives a damn about men's basketball or not.
F no! The best shooter is injured.Is Lucy really our best shooter?
How Ben thinks it is a good idea for Odukale to bring the ball up and initiate the offense is beyond me. That's nuts.-Odukale can't dribble, take care of the ball, or hit the broad side of a barn
-Patterson is far too slow, short, and unathletic to get any separation to score efficiently at the B1G level
-And Rigsby is 5-21 FG on the year and also doesn't look like he has good handles or explosiveness to be any kind of shot creator on a stagnant offense
Who would've thunk Edmonds would be the only decent looking transfer going into the season??
Odukale should only be on the floor if it is a offense for defense situation.-Odukale can't dribble, take care of the ball, or hit the broad side of a barn

Probably 3000 people there tonight. The don't care level was so bad that after scoring 3 baskets against NORTH TEXAS in the first half no one booed the effort.My level of “don’t care anymore” is climbing rapidly. My how our expectations have sunk.
Coaches come to Minnesota to kill their careers not enhance them.I'll watch some Colorado State games this year so I can get familiar with our new coach for next year.
