For the second offseason in a row, Gopher basketball is facing significant turnover. The 2018-19 team that made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament saw 47% of the roster, including 3 starters, depart for various reasons. This significant turnover created quite a few questions heading into the 2019-20 season. That team was inconsistent throughout the season, occassionlly looking like an NCAA Tournament team but most certainly would have been ignored by the Selection Committee.
Now the 2020-21 roster is once again looking for 3 new starters and replacing 47% of the scholarship athletes.
As Gopher basketball fans we have seen a multitude of unique roster changes and turmoil over the years.
