I predict they will reach the NCAA Tournament soon

MN is playing a very short bench  they basically go 6 guys and a 7th plays a little 

kind of impressive that they have won 3 tope 25 teams this season and lost several close games, some where foul trouble really hurt 

here we are hoping eventually in the coming years Niko can put a very strong team on the court

FYI how funny is it that the Wisconsin media team misspelled Niko's name on his security badge?  Seriously a Big Ten team disrespecting a visiting coach?

I think Ben Johnson was a good coach, he just didnt have the money to retain his players.  But that problem isnt going away.  I think Medved is the type who can do more with less.

I always thought recruiting was his thing, and that was gonna be a hard pitch before NIL at Minnesota and a nightmare after.

I’ve always thought the depth thing can be a bit overrated, but they’re really testing it. And while a lot of those players are decent, they’re not the sort you can roll thin with.

I rather enjoyed watching them play. They have a certain feistiness and some guys that pop.

I don’t think it was a security badge. I thought it was the press conference placard. Struck me as a bit of a small-scale error, as that media staff is usually pretty professional.
