Dotch Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The Gophers Richard Pitino reaches desperation mode with Joey King hurt and goes on a manhunt for replacement players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave2 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks like the Gophers are back to normal. Got thumped pretty bad against Michigan State. I only saw a little bit of the end of the game so I'm not sure what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 That's about how long their ranking lasted the last time also, wasn't it? While I fully expected them to be a better team this year, I also didn't think of them as anything more than NIT bound. Still nice to see them get a couple conference wins though.

Anything should be better than last year. I haven't seen much of them yet this year except the second half of the Ohio State game but I love to watch Richard Coffey's kid. Hopefully he just keeps getting better. The sad part is it seems the Gophers have a hard time recruiting these good players unless they are the offspring of a former Gopher alumni.

ANYFISH2 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Boy, it sounds like after last night, some of you have given up hope already. Last night is one of two games this year they have looked pedestrian. I doubt they will shoot 30% very many games this year. I think it would have been tough for just about anyone to match Michigan states energy last night. I can see this team as a 22 win team. Should be good enough to make the tournament.

Well I agree this may have been true in recent years...it seems this is maybe changing. Next season they have 2 kids from NY coming in, 1 of which (Isiah Washington) is the #1 pg recruit from NYC...the kid can flat out ball and I think his ceiling will only rise since he committed/signed. I think NCAA tourney is realistic this year, and they could even make a small run. I honestly think this team can beat anyone, I also think they can lose any game as the pieces are quite there yet. They did lose Fitzgerald before the season that was expected to add a lot. Looking into next season the only player they lose will be springs he is def a spark off the bench and veteran presence. However with Mason being a senior guard next year I think that team could be real legit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Caught the game on the radio today. That's the gophers that I'm used to Looks like it's all downhill from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Winless since the ranking. Wow! Pitino's seat getting warm yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 At least they've already won more Big 10 games than last year, right? I'm always told by Gopher fans that means "they're heading in the right direction". Maybe Fleck can coach basketball too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppe56307 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 When was the last time the Goofs beat 2 ranked teams in a season? Pretty good second half last night to stretch their win streak to 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think they just locked their bid for a tournament appearance. The only loss that may have set them back would be that disaster game against penn state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneguy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 They were already in even before last night, I think. Now they are working on getting a decent seed. I think a 6 or better is a lock, as long as they don't throw up on themselves and lose the rest. Could go as high as a 4 if they win out and win a couple in the conference tourney. Hard to believe they were 8-23 a year ago! hoppe56307 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppe56307 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Wow what a run they have been on lately. Pitino has definitely rewarded the fan base after last season, with the best big ten season in the last 20yrs. With a win against the Badgers they will get a double bye in the big 10 tournament. pikestabber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a month ago saying "a win against the Badgers" would have been laughable, and now it seems likely! Quite a turn-around...getting hot at the right time! hoppe56307 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppe56307 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) He deserved it, he flipped the record from last year 8-23 to 23-8 this year. I saw a projection for the NCAA tourny that has the Gophers as high as a 5 seed. 14 hours ago, JBMasterAngler said: Never mind Edited March 8, 2017 by hoppe56307 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Too bad yesterday’s game wasn’t on tv. Would’ve been interesting to watch Alabama play with only 3 players. I have to imagine Pitino told his guys to play easy, as bama outscored them in those final 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBMasterAngler Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 This is getting more embarrassing with each game. I’m guessing Pitino’s job is safe this year because he has the injury excuse. In my opinion though, if he doesn’t win at least 20 games next year, he needs to go! Any chance they get 1 more win this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
