It is no secret that last season’s Gopher basketball season was a tough one to get through. Certainly a challenge from a fan’s perspective, but I’m sure it was also a long and difficult season for the team as well. That season mercifully ended with a loss to Maryland in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament.
Last year’s squad had just 3 wins over a Big Ten team and finished 9-22 overall.
It is worth noting that they did manage to get 2 of those Big Ten wins in the final 4 games of the season (including the Big Ten Tournament).
