As I saw it after yesterday, they would be a 12th seed.

Yeah, those 4 straight, hurt... the loss to Michigan on last second shot. The loss to Maryland at home. The loss to Indiana earlier... and that Nebraska game :mad2::mad2::mad2:.... flip any 2 of those, and are we even having this conversation?

Can't forget that last year was out of his control.... that was a really good team, derailed by injuries. I think we all expected too much before this season began. Not on the hot seat as of yet.... but next year, he should be.

And the Gophers historically haven't made the tourney all that much (very few back-to-back visits)... even if you include the Haskins years.

Overall I agree, but with recruiting going very poorly this year, I'm a little concerned.

Sounds like a soft bubble this year.... 2 more wins, and they should get in...

very well could, but a quick 1 and done won't leave me feeling any better.

If we make a move, I hope we have a plan.

On Plus side Oturu is freshman of the week

Next year Gophers need to figure out the PG, Coffey experiment hasn't worked.

I'm really curious if Pitino will be back.

They're a Minnesota team, what did you really expect?

My expectations aren't that high

But one tournament appearance in 6 years doesn't cut it for me

Win one of the 2 remaining and pretty much guarantee a Tourney spot.


Otherwise, need to at least win 1, possibly 2 in the B1G tourney...

We punched our ticket tonight.

Most likely, if we lose maryland and opening round in B1G tourney I think we're squarley on the bubble but most likely in, win at least one

late run made score look closer, game was never in doubt

Game 1, Maryland made a late run, but that game was mostly close, yet a larger winning margin

I like Pitino, He seems to like MN, but if Coyle thinks he can get his man, I think time for move

Recruiting is going poorly
Results are mixed

I can see it.... but I can't. They were talking about yesterday (KFAN), that it's not like some coach is going to materialize and take the job here, so it would be basically starting all over again. I say let him ride out next year under the hot seat.

The problem with that is recruits aren't going to commit to a guy on hot seat. I think we're already seeing signs of that. One commit out of 4 open spots, and I wouldn't be surprised if Washington transfers, leaving us 4 open scholarships

True. I get all that... again - the hot seat is a media fabricated situation. Not sure what his contrct situation is, either. Coyle (for what it's worth) still really seems to like Pitino, too. I guess we'll see.

I believe he has 2 years left.

I'm of the belief this off-season you either extend him 2 years or fire him
