Listen, let me preface this article by saying that it is completely within the realm of possibility that Minnesota does not have a very good men’s basketball season in 2019-2020. Record-wise, due to a bear of a Big Ten schedule and a very tough non-conference slate, Minnesota is likely to underwhelm many of the maroon and gold faithful especially after making the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season and being in Coach Richard Pitino’s seventh year with the program. However, it is also perfectly reasonable to believe that this team could improve throughout the year and still be a relatively competent and competitive squad, despite it’s 1-3 start the likes of which this program hasn’t seen since the 1987-1988 season over 30 years ago.
