Tom Izzo: "The other sleeper team is Minnesota...they are a contender."

[BleedGopher]

"The other sleeper team is Minnesota. If they're anything like they finished, with Trevor Mbakwe back on that team, they are a contender."

What we need to do is include Bill Self of Kansas, and GopherLady and we will get the real answer.

I appreciate your optimism Real. It's refreshing on this board.

Thanks JohnnyL. I have been trying. I don't blame those who are skeptical. One day, these coaches will turn this program around. Hopefully, it will be this year. We have a bunch of good kids in this team. Three years ago, we had tons of talent but things wen South when we heard about Royce and Trevor off-the-court issues. Again, hopefully, these kids won't crush our hopes. All of us on this board should meet up in Indy to support the team in March if we win the regular season. It will be fun.

I think if tubby plays a small lineup:
With Williams and mbakwe as the 4-5, I think if it becomes a multiple team race the gophers have a chance.

With the way we finished up last year (Dre and Williams showing they can lead this team) and getting Mbakwe back - how can we even be considered a sleeper? More so a contender. With U football and hoops on the way up this is going to be an exciting year!
