Jamison Battle has committed to Ohio State.

This defection doesn’t sting as much as losing our star recruit. I was never a huge Battle fan. He was good at times but only stood out because he was surrounded by mediocrity.

He could be lost in the shuffle at OSU.

Gophers rockin' it early! Bonus, Provus on the mic.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (11/16/2023 8:21:38 PM)

I think NIL is actually going to help the historically mid-tier basketball programs like the Gophers. We'll be able to take advantage of being a team with older players. That works in college hoops.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (11/16/2023 8:33:58 PM)

Who are these guys??? I haven't seen a Gophers team look this athletic since 1997.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (11/16/2023 10:13:53 PM)

Epic meltdown by the Gophers!



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (12/7/2023 9:41:14 AM)

Gophers looked great last night. Absolutely destroyed a very good Nebraska team. We'll easily win more conference games this season than we did last season (2).

Sophomore men's basketball guard Braeden Carrington (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) has announced that he will take an indefinite leave of absence from the program to focus on his mental health. Carrington has started in all 10 games for the Golden Gophers this season.

"We fully support Braeden as he takes this time to focus on his mental health," head coach Ben Johnson said. "Myself, our administration and our team will do whatever we can to help him and I admire Braeden for his courage. We will be here to assist him every step of the way."

Road win at Michigan and a home win against Maryland? Maybe these Gophers aren't so bad. We finally have a decent PG.

Yeah, I called it.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/8/2024 1:04:40 PM)

2nd place (of 14) in the B1G. Maybe we should be happy? Or if you're not 1st, you're the 1st loser?



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (2/28/2024 10:24:50 PM)

That was a great game at Illinois. Insane how both teams made so many tough shots. I can't even say the defense was bad. Gophers hit 70% from 3-point range and still lost by 8.



MDK -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/7/2024 6:42:44 AM)

Gopher men looked worse than a Jr High BB team.
Free throws, outside jump shots, bad passes and turnovers. Tried to be quicker to the hoop before defense was set and stumbled and fumbled.
Awful awful BB.



David Levine -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/12/2024 12:56:26 PM)

Cam Christie is first Gophers player to make all-league freshman team since Amir Coffey in 2016-17.



Phil Riewer -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/28/2024 1:14:29 PM)

JOJ, Carrington, and Payne in the Portal. Hope we can keep Christie.
Payne was very good except when it came to FT....



Bill Jandro -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/29/2024 6:58:23 AM)

This portal thing is getting out of hand. I thought players could only use it once under specific circumstances. But players seem to transfer every year.

Heard on the radio a Badger player has never stayed in one school in consecutive years the last 7 dating back to HS.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (4/4/2024 2:41:45 PM)

Garcia is returning to the Gophers.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/7/2025 9:23:03 AM)

Interesting game vs Ohio State last night! We should have won. Refs weren't too kind to us IMO.

They just aren't good.....Losing Christie was painful but outside of Garcia and a freshman they have no mismatches. Mitchell has to shoot lights out to stay in games.

I think Johnson is done after this year.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/16/2025 8:22:59 PM)

Gophers knock off Michigan! EPIC!!!!



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/13/2025 11:18:19 AM)

Ben Johnson out after Gophers get bounced from the Big 10 tournament by Northwestern. After a terrible start to conference play, they started to show signs of life, culminating with the California road trip wins over USC and UCLA. But then they went backwards again and fizzled out.

Not a surprising move. I was rooting for Johnson but I can't say I disagree with the decision. He's had 4 years and they're still losing.



TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/13/2025 12:53:58 PM)

Not a surprise. Johnson was pretty clearly in over his head from the beginning. Coyle thought Johnson and Whalen were going to be the home grown coaches who would lock down the best in state recruits year after year. Turns out neither one could coach.



Phil Riewer -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/16/2025 9:40:54 AM)

Pat Ruesse. Gophers BB had 1.2 NIL dollars. 500k went to Dawson. Payne got 600k and Hawkins 750k to leave.

Successful programs have 5million.

MBB will get 15% next year which will be around 3 million. Gopher Football 15-17 million.



TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/24/2025 1:45:16 PM)

Niko Medved is officially the Gophers new head basketball coach.

Will he be receiving $5 million a year for NIL money so he can compete?
Or will he be made to put a D2 level team on the court be expected to coach them up?
Sorry, but it's been hard to watch Gopher BB since Clem got the boot. Sure he cheated like the rest but at least they competed for a few years.



David Levine -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/24/2025 2:26:04 PM)

Medved is a Roseville Area High School graduate and spent one season as an assistant for Dan Monson’s Gophers.

The short version of the profile above is that Medved has done a nice job of bringing back both Furman and Colorado State from some difficult seasons and the plan is for him to do the same thing at Minnesota.

Medved’s teams typically are smart on offense and he has shown an ability to recruit and develop some very good players.

Medved’s Career

1997–1999: Macalester - assistant
1999–2006: Furman - assistant for coach Larry Davis
2006–2007: Minnesota - assistant under Dan Monson for his final season (partial season)
2007–2013: Colorado State - assistant under Tim Miles and then one season with Larry Eustachy
2013–2017: Furman (62–70, 33–37 in conference)
2017–2018: Drake (17–17, 10–8)
2018–2025 Colorado State (143–85, 78–50)

This most recent season was probably the best season he has had over his 12 seasons as a head coach. He took a team that was projected to finish 7th in the Mountain West to a 2nd place finish and tournament title. His Rams earned a 12-seed and went on to upset Memphis and really controlled their game against Maryland for about 36 minutes before eventually losing on a controversial buzzer-beater.

Medved and his wife Erica (a former pitcher on the Furman softball team) have two young daughters and will be moving back to Minnesota where they will be closer to extended family.
