Well, everybody and I mean everybody picks us to finish bottom 4. The AD kept the coach after last season...so finishing above 500 in the Big Ten is significant progress. Pretty hard not to call it successful considering the starting point and amidst a pandemic after your best player from last year's team is drafted in the NBA.
Pitino is the only Gopher coach to have a winning conference record in the last 15 years. We are not dealing with a recent history of success without scandal.

LOL.

"Picked to finish bottom 4" is not what I call an endorsement of the coach.

Nor a defense.
 

Top 3-4 in the conference. That says more to me than the randomness of the tourney where people describe runs to the sweet 16. That run takes two games ! Success in the tourney comes from making the tourney year after year.
 





Win enough games to make people like me who don't really care about basketball to start paying attention.

I couldn't care less about the NBA but I do follow the Gophers when they are good. They have to make the NCAA tournament at least.
