Per SI:

Ben Johnson, Minnesota Golden Gophers ​

Johnson built some momentum last season with an NIT appearance, but the Golden Gophers are back close to the Big Ten basement in 2024–25. Much can be attributed to poor fortune in the spring, losing starting point guard Elijah Hawkins to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, center Pharrel Payne to Texas A&M and promising young wing Cam Christie to the NBA. Johnson is by all accounts well-respected in the state, but missing the Big Ten tournament might make a change hard to avoid.
