IowaHoosierFan Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Might not have any of their starters the way things are going these days.

Guest Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Given how poorly we played against a depleted Wisconsin roster....don't count on it. Our history recently up at their barn is not much better than at the Kohl center. My brother and my nephew live in the Twin Cities and are going to the game. I told him that with Lynch, we were a 30 point underdog, given how we played the other night. Without Lynch, I'd say 12-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 This situation should really cost a lot of people jobs in the Minnesota AD. Certainly little Richard. The AD as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 If we couldn't beat Wisconsin, we got no chance at Minny either..unless our collective 'focus' has been renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Can Archie play the little Pitino one-on-one for 21 points and whoever wins gets the W? That might be more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Appears to me the gentleman from Minnesota who handled their press conference today took lessons in the off season from Baylor's Admin. This story isn't going anywhere. Maybe Minnesota can take a page from Oregon (Dana Altman) on how to cover up the cover up. Everyone seems to forget he let a couple of sexual assaults pass...

Zuckerkorn Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 IMO, in the 40+ years I've been paying attention to B10 athletics, Minnesota is probably the most corrupt/dirty/scandal ridden school the conference has seen. Seems they can't go ten years without some major issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have no idea what the reason. A lot of their problems have been behavioral - not just breaking recruiting or academic rules. They had the big fight back in the early 70's, Dutcher's teams had problems, Haskins' team had problems, and now the current one (and that's just the basketball side of it). Of course misconduct happens everywhere when you're dealing with young men that are treated like royalty - but it seems to be more frequent there.

FKIM01 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Simply put, Ricky Pitino was a bad hire. I don't see respect from his players as this is just one of several disciplinary issues since he's attempted to take control of the program. He's just not viewed as an authority figure. The Pitino name got him some talent and they played relatively well last year, but they are again trending down and it's just a matter of time until the AD acknowledges that Little Ricky can't coach.

If I remember right Bill Musselman was the guy that brought sanctions against the Gophers ala Larry Brown. Dutcher resigned over 3 of his players being accused of assault and resigned pronto. Haskins was an academic scandal. And that leads us to this......just on the basketball side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 This has been well known since his Illinois St days. The idea that RP Jr didn't is laughable. He keeps this up (and continues to lose in year 5) he'll be coaching Queens Community College pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
