CBS: Big Ten expert picks 2023-24 (13. (!!!) Minnesota)

[BleedGopher]

CBS, no dinks!!! We aren't 14th!

13

Minnesota

Minnesota regressed in Year 2 under Ben Johnson, finishing just 2-17 in league play while dealing with tough injury luck. The Gophers didn't make enough high-quality additions to spark optimism that a major surge up the standings is in store. But Johnson's club does have one of the league's more promising frontcourts with Dawson Garcia and Pharrel Payne and should be more competitive with better health. Guard play is a concern, but Mike Mitchell (Pepperdine) and Elijah Hawkins (Howard) are mid-major additions who were double-figure scorers and averaged 5+ assists per game at their previous stops.

FWIW, MN is 74th of 80 P6 teams on kenpom. 5 ACC teams are in the 70s, btw, but I'm sure we'll hear how tough a conference it is.

These Pac-12 teams will be middle-of-the-pack in FB & BB in the Big Ten. Never close to the top.

Middle of the pack might as well be the top for us.
