Triple The W Total In 3rd Year?

Donate To GopherHole

Let's not forget he took a team that went 9-19 to 20-14 in one season with the same players. And then after losing all his scorers (Tollakson, Coleman, Mckenzie) he took next years team to 22-10 record with a NCAA bid. I expect a better team this year, but the schedule will be a lot harder as well, with 13 of their games being against teams in the RPI top 45, and 17 of their games being against teams that made the NCAA tourney last year.

Quality games:
vs. Stephen F. Austin (74, made NCAA tournament )

Anaheim Classic
neutral #10 Butler (24)
neutral # 30 UCLA (33) or Portland (120)
neutral # 8 West Virginia (21) or #17 Clemson (28) or Texas A&M (36)

@ Miami-Florida (65) -- ACC

Conference play
@ #7 Purdue (20)
vs. #15 Ohio State (32)
@ #2 MSU (6)

To get to 27 W, Gophers need 11 W in OOC - 12 W in B10 - 2 W in B10T - and 2 W in NCAA.

Possible. But not easy.
