Curious what the schedule thought process is with the avoidance of competition. We canceled Las Vegas and now Ball State....players can't be that dumb but to question what the heck is going on. If you play better teams your fans know you may lose and the players know they have to play well to win. Play better teams: The players are out of their comfort zone and forced to get better....forced to compete. You play teams worse than you and it simulates nothing going forward. If you lose to any of the cupcakes the fans boo and the players panic. I argue these games will attract the wrong kind of pressure...what if we lose? We know our opponent is terrible. Sure you can pass it off as a freak occurrence but that's a lie...you have no idea how good you are or can be until the conference begins and by then you have lost your team.....they know you don't think they are any good or they wouldn't be playing all teams nobody has heard of.Rocco Miller is now reporting Gophers are not slated to play Ball State as part of their MTE, but instead will play Arkansas-Pine Bluff. So for now it appears what was previoulsy the "second best" opponent on the Gophers' non-conference slate (Ball State), is now gone.
Robert Morris was a pretty terrible team - 247th in NET. However, had MN scheduled them, it would be the highest rated home game.
One of those in addition to Texas A&M, Alabama and WVU. We have New Orleans though.The Ohio State releases non-conference schedule.
Opponent for Dec. 16 (Kentucky, North Carolina, or UCLA) TBD.

Come on man
We did add another player to the roster even if it wasn't AJ.
And we beat out Loyola Marymount for him too. Perhaps we can add them as a revenge game... They're on our level...Come on man
We "could" add an opponent from something other than a one bid conference...really we could!
Should be announced this week..............................maybe
You think there really was an offer? That would mean he chose us over them. Hmmm, I can live in California or in Minnesota? Hmmm...I'm 20, I can have my life paid for in LA or Minneapolis? Which one? Or, was it, oh well, at least I have the Minnesota offer?
I guess a B1G offer still carries some weight. Even when it comes from a coach with an expiration date.
Good friend of mine lives in Bloomington and was planning on visiting in middle of December to catch up. As luck would have it they play Kansas when I was gonna be there. Should be a crazy environmentIndiana releases non-conference schedule

I was told that here that St Thomas is decades away from competing with the u in basketball.Are we still too good to schedule St Thomas or will they hurt our strength of schedule too much?
