per Tristan:

13. Minnesota Golden Gophers​

After a strong start to the season, Minnesota fell back to Earth in Big Ten Basketball play, tied with Nebraska at the bottom of the conference. And they’ll have to essentially start over again, losing 5th-year seniors, Luke Loewe, Sean Sutherlin, EJ Stephens, and Payton Willis all leaving.

The leaves leading scorer and rebounder Jamison Battle (17.5 ppg and 6.3 rpg) left from the old starting lineup, with a solid recruiting class coming to join him. They’ll need several newcomers from either the freshmen or transfer portal to have an impact to be more competitive but for now, they have more proven talent on the roster than Nebraska.


Go Gophers!!
 

Barring a couple big portal additions, I think year 1 of BeJo is a better team than year 2. Incoming class may be good but freshmen aren’t the answer.
 


How TF does he have us currently ahead of Nebraska?

Apparently they didn't realize that we're also losing Daniels and Ogele. If they did, they might have rated us higher.
 



These kind of projections are so dumb in this day and age. Rosters are ever changing for the next couple of months.
 





Lost 4 out of 5 starters and still more talent than Nebraska. Crazy
