Ok I am a big advocate of how underrated Minnesota Basketball has been as a whole for the past few years, but this is something I can't understand. Saint Thomas wins a DIII National Championship 2011 with mostly Minnesota kids, Minnesota State-Mankato is in the Elite 8 for DII with mostly Minnesota kids, SCSU goes to the Championship game last year in DII with mostly Minnesota kids. I realize you will all say that its a totally different level but when you are winning national championships there is no denying that these kids can play.
Yet, our beloved Gophers cant sniff the NIT.
Moral to the story is that if the Gophers would recruit any of these kids to go along with the Minnesotans that we have we would definitely be playing this late in March.
I for one would love to have a coach that can realize what he can do with the players in his own backyard and not some third rate prospects in California or Georgia.
