    At 18-14, will the Gophers make the NIT?

    Awesome. Hope we play them tight.

    At 18-14, will the Gophers make the NIT?

    Fatigue is understandable given that CBJ refuses to play more than 7 players. its one of the more baflling aspects of his coaching.

    Do you want Ben back for a fourth year?

    Makes little sense to fire a neophyte coach after three years when the third year showed significant improvement. Hopefully the steep part of the learning curve is over and CBJ continues to improve the roster. Plus, in the non-illustrious, hardly notable history of Gopher basketball, whats...

    Ola-Joseph has played less than 10 minutes over the past 10 games.

    A numbers game? LOL. The Gophers have lost games due to fatigue. Still not convinced CBJ knows how to manage playing time or get the best out of his roster.

    ***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Terrible coaching. Gophers could not do anything right the last 10 min of the first half and our head coach does nothing but clap his hands. No subsitution; no timeouts; nothing. JOJ should take the first bus out of the Twin Cities. He has much to contribute, but its not here and certainly not...

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    Or just win the BTT. Its more likely than an at-large berth and far from impossible, IMO.

    Ben Johnson: “We lost our edge. Even though we were up the energy, the vibe wasn’t what it needed to be. We got low into their pace.”

    Lost the game at the FT line. This team is not good enough to overcome that much a a make disparity on the road. Disappointing.

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    With NCAA relying so heavily on NET rankings I doubt the Gophers have a realistic chance to make the tournament as an at-large team. However, there is still a chance through the BTT, which we have NEVER won. Get the double bye, hope you don't draw Purdue at any point, and win it. Simple.

    How many more wins for Ben to lose the disaster level?

    The "CBJ is a disaster" thread is the true "disaster". A mod with a modicum of sense would delete it. Its trash and deserves to be buried.

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    13 wins in conference is asking a lot so I am not sure an at-large bid is in the cards. That said, get a decent seed for the BTT (for a a change) and win the damn thing.

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    I can think of worster-case scenarios than this. Anything approaching a .500 conference record is a success after what happened last year. Anything beyond that is gravy for this fan.

    ***OFFICIAL MARYLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    He does not concentrate on his FTs not does he take enough time. His form is not bad.

    Great effort by the guys last night. Could see in their eyes they really wanted it and, this year, they have the players and experience to win some games. Continued growth this year could set the team up for a special season next year if everyone returns outside the graduating seniors.

    Dennis Evans will not be medically cleared to compete At Lville going forward

    Sorry to hear. Such a shock for the young man I am sure. Hopefully his health is stable and he can move on with life beyond basketball.

    Thoughts on team as we head into Big Ten games

    With the qualifier that I have not watched much Gopher basketball the past few years (since before Covid, really), this does appear to be Ben's best team at MN. This, combined with the fact that college basketball has more parity, more unpredictability, and much less "mature" talent than it did...
