Minnesota Basketball: Ben Johnson was hit with the perfect storm, can he get the Gopher program back on track?

Ben Johnson was hired exactly two years ago today. His overall record over two seasons leading the Gopher men’s program is just 22-39 with a Big Ten record of 6-33 (.154). That is...not great.

As the Ben Johnson era begins its third season, we appear to be headed into another offseason of significant roster turnover. Since day one, he has been constantly battling to replace significant portions of his roster during each offseason. This repeated turnover appears to be the biggest hurdle this staff has had to face as they try to return to being a competitive Big Ten program.
