Interesting. I thought I read here or on IDO that they blazed through the pre-season with this new coach. Maybe it wasn't the old coach but a lack of talent?

Oh well, maybe they will get good someday.

They did do well in the pre-season and snuck up on Michigan at Crisler Arena early on making some think they might be better than anticipated. Also, as anticipated, the grind of the Big 10 season with only one guy of any significance (Sutherlin) coming off the bench took its toll. To win 4 Big 10 games was on the upper end of where some of us diehard Gopher fans thought they'd be. To think they'd make the NIT at the start of the season was pie in the sky. By the same token, this team battled and they were still in all but 2 or 3 of their Big 10 games well into the 2nd half, coming close to pulling off upsets in several of them. As we were talking here a little bit ago, that doesn't say much for teams in the Big 10 being dominant as evidenced by the 1st round of the NCAA tournament so far. Regardless, Minnesota was not a good basketball team. 

If they had kept Pitino around another year, I could've lived with it. He won the NIT in 2014 with Tubby's guys and was Big 10 coach of the year in 2017. But, it looked like he was going nowhere after 8 seasons, only winning 6 Big 10 games in his last season and none on the road. This transfer portal thing has put a whole new dynamic on the college game, one I personally don't care for as it sends the wrong message. If you make a commitment, you don't have to honor it if you decide to change your mind or someone helps change it for you. Screw the team, it's all about me. Unfortunately, it's a reality that teams and fans have to adapt to. Who can play it best will determine a large part of the success of any team. Hopefully Ben plays it well as he'll need to. Otherwise, we'll keep battling with Nebraska for basements rights.

Between the NCAA's & NIT you have to be really, really, really, really bad not to be invited to a post season tourney.

yep he was pretty darn good. the announcers kept saying to beat him the gophers had to get close and redirect the puck.........they did make it close at 4-3 but to little to late. gophers scored 2 goals with like 1 1/2 minutes remaining!!!!

both teams should still go to the big tourney though!!!!!!

Normally, I'm a BIG 10 guy but ..........................it didn't bother me 1 bit to see the Cyclones & ex- gopher  Kalscheur beat Bucky & BD34 at their own game. A lot of players hitting the floor in this 1 & Dotch's buddy might have led the field. Most of the time it wasn't on his terms either. :happy1: :cool:

Saw that! My pal got at least 1 flop call that I saw & should've been called for kicking his leg out on one 3 ball attempt. Happy for IA St. after a rough season last year. Hopefully the Gophers follow suit next year.  :happy1:

Forgot my personal fave tho was when the little dipstick Davison jumped on Conditt, then flew into him again and stepped on his ankle tripping him. Somehow Conditt got called for a moving screen outta the deal! WTH?!?!?! :doah: Watching Conditt's right ankle on the replay made me wince. Could've easily have sprained it or worse. Twitter was full of folks today hoping Davison goes on to play at the next level, then pulls that crap on the wrong guy. Lotsa people would pay to watch the Grayson Allen of the Big 10 get his comeuppance.  :popcorn:

Here are some of the players in the portal the Gophers may have interest in:

He was on a lot of wish lists along with Brian Dutcher but don't recall they interviewed him or that he was ever interested. Can't blame him either way. He had a program built there. Here the cupboards were bare. Pretty sure too even prior to that, his dad, Bill had left the U amidst some serious violations not to mention the Ohio St. brawl. Some of the gutless, touchy-feely, warm fuzzy-types in charge at the U probably didn't want to reassociate themselves with all that.
