Minnesota Basketball: The Big Ten check-in and where do the Gophers fit?

With tonight’s game at Penn State getting postponed it and the Big Ten schedule basically 13 completed, it seemed like a good time to step back and take a look at the conference and where the Gophers fit.

Before the season began the Gophers were a unanimous choice to finish last in the conference. Considering they were breaking in a brand new coach, not just to Minnesota but new to being a head coach, and they were essentially replacing their entire roster with a hodge-podge of mid-major transfers; this was no surprise. As people would ask me how I thought they would do this season, I told people to be prepared for what may be the worst Gopher team of our lifetime.
