Now that we have seen the majority of the non-conference portion of the schedule, how many wins do you think the Gophers will have during the regular season BIG stretch of games?
 

Feels like 2 or 3, but I'm sticking with preseason prediction (5).
 


Went with 4-5. The league schedule is MUCH tougher than it was a year ago. We were 1-8 in Q1 regular season conference games last year. 4-5 honestly might be generous. We'll see.
 

They'll win 7-8 and Ben will get fired. Program will hire a new coach and he will get fired in 4-6 years. Rinse and repeat.
 



Within the last couple of weeks I posted that I thought they would win somewhere between four and six games. 4-5 is the modal choice so I'll join that group.

Which would be a good thing. Pitino was here 8 years, Monson made an 8th year, and Tubby was fired after a R32 appearance in his 6th year. If you only last 4 years it's because you deserved it.

Getting a new coach doesn't guarantee anything, but CBJ inspires little to no confidence.

Pitino should have been here 3 years if we were a half serious program. Monson was hired after a scandal and handcuffed by it. Program hasn't won without scandal or cheating ever and won't (until proven otherwise).

I'm not expecting to make a FF or anything (although there have been a bunch of teams that have done it in the last two decades who you wouldn't have ever projected too), but we did make the tournament 5 times in 11 years between 2009-2019. Also, in Pitino's last two season, the depth of the league was pretty insane.

Also, Pitino probably should have been fired after year 3 and wasn't. Just like CBJ should have been after season 2 or 3.
 







2-3 wins. If Ben gets fired mid-season (or earlier), that could be revisited.
 

Went with 2-3.

Not sure how they could possible win more than that.
 

Want to change my answer to 0-1. Would maybe go with 1-2 now if that was an option.

Not true
 

So Ben Johnson lifetime contract extension?
The "it's futile to even hope for mediocrity" group is a sad last holdout of the CBJ apology tour. It was Rock Raven's final starburst before going completely insane. It's no surprise JB's going that route. If Ben can't win, no one can win, it's just not fair.

For having eyes and knowledge of the program? It's sucked long before Ben and will suck long after Ben. See above comment about cheating and scandal

But it's been especially more shitty under Ben. Both previous coaches made the tournament in or by Year 4. Ben is now 11 games under .500 overall, despite playing, on average, a Non Con SOS in the 330's. Imagine what his record would be if he wasn't scared of playing a decent Non Con schedule, like Pitino or Tubby. It's crazy this level of absolute ineptitude is okay with you. I seriously don't understand why you keep defending him. Lol.

Nope, for lumping the kind of sucking we have had under Tubby, Monson, Pitino and Clem as anything like what we're seeing now. You're talking to a board full of people who have watched fun and meaningful games being played at the Barn. We don't have delusions of being the next Kentucky, but mediocrity isn't some pipedream. We might even continue to burn through coaches if we ever climb up to mediocre status but at least there will be some fun along the way.

This nihilistic ending of the CBJ apology tour is worst phase of this bizarre time in Gopher basketball history.
 

Went with 4-5 wins but that could be a stretch sadly. Still figure they find their way to some home wins along the way. Not sure if that will be enough wins to get into the Big Ten Tournament, certainly won't be enough for NCAA tournament or to save Ben's job most likely.

You need a new tag line. No one is apologizing for Ben he's a 40 year old millionaire that I don't know or care about. The program sucks. Ben clearly sucks as coach of said program for a multitude of reasons.

Stop bitching. This is exactly what you Johnson Bobos demanded.
