Niko Medved will be the next men's basketball coach at Minnesota, leaving Colorado State after seven seasons. He'll be officially announced by the Golden Gophers program on Tuesday, CBS Sports reports.
Medved, 51, has been successful enough in Fort Collins that moving up to a Power Four job was only a matter of time. But for Medved, Minnesota is a particularly special opportunity. He's a Minneapolis native and a Minnesota alum.
At Colorado State, Medved had five 20-win seasons and three seasons of 25 wins or more. The Rams earned three NCAA tournament bids during his tenure.
