I am an optimist and am starting to really look forward to next year's Gopher basketball season. Nate Mason and Jordan Murphy are a solid duo. Dupree McBrayer got me excited. Lynch and Fitzgerald are going to add some pieces that were missing and Amir Coffey offers a promise of something special. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks we may have a big turnaround.
Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com lists the Gophers as one of five teams who are on the rise in college basketball.
This past year for the Gophers was one to forget.
