The Gopher basketball roster saw some significant turnover this offseason. The one (ONE!) player returning from last season’s team was Isaiah Ihnen. (Until Eric Curry changed his mind a few weeks ago). But it was announced this afternoon that Ihnen suffered a knee injury during a summer practice and will miss the 2021-22 season.

An incredibly tough blow to Ihnen who seemed to be ideally suited for a coaching staff change and was poised to take on a much larger role this season. And also a significant setback to Ben Johnson and his upcoming season.
