Edit - looks like someone beat to the punch about a potential 3-seed. Still exciting though!
Ok, this is fun....Still have potential for a 3 seed in the BTT! (Let me dream, will ya!)
My gut says the three teams will be teams we didn't play twice this season (removing Indiana from SS's prediction. I'll go with Wisco, Wash, and Rutgers.
I have the opposite opinion. I would like to see Pitino return for one more year. But if Coyle chooses its time to move on, I'll be happy to support whoever the new coach is and the team.
This is a just a typical whiny viewpoint. Sure injuries and such happen for lots of teams. Those teams usually struggle then until they have a year or so of relative health and player development. The teams that can get away with it are usually just the blue bloods. That's why the college...
I came to the U from out of state right when Tubby was hired. So I'd fit into your younger category with just Tubby and RP. My personal belief is that RP has had some tough luck in some years and some times showing his youth as well. I'd like to see at least one more year. I think one of these...

You guys have to stop caring so much whether our recruits are born in Minnesota or not. Pitino has signed two 4-star recruits for this class. His recruiting isn't a problem.
Would I like us to be better than 1-3 right now? Absolutely. But we also have so many new faces and building that...
I was checking out how Santa Clara has done this season (bad, very bad) and saw a familiar name on roster. Former Gopher, Josh Martin, is averaging 4.7ppg to go with 7 rebounds in 24 minutes per game. He'll probably come to the game with a chip on his shoulder but Murph will overpower him anyways!
