Gopher Hoops Media Day, Expect the Unexpected!

If you remember back to the 2018-19 Gopher basketball season, you should expect that nothing will be similar as we head into 2019-20. Every team, year over year, has a different personality and will have a slightly different style of play. But this Gopher team is going to be dramatically different.

The program lost guys such as Jordan Murphy, Amir Coffey and Dupree McBrayer who were not only major contributors but also leaders. Over their careers, this team was one that thrived on penetration, getting to the foul line, rebounding and playing with toughness. Those 3 occupied 3 starting spots and 90 minutes per game for the better part of the last 3 seasons.
