Minnesota Basketball: The Monday Perspective is just thinking out loud.

After spending the fall telling my friends and family that I like Ben Johnson as the hire, but be prepared to watch what may be the worst Gopher team in our lifetime, this season has truly been a fun team to watch. No doubt that this collection of low and mid-major transfers has surpassed all expectations, we’ve covered this.

And based on this season’s unexpected success, there is reason for great optimism once Johnson is able to add a couple solid recruiting classes to upgrade the talent on this roster. We’ve also covered this. I really am pleased with what we have seen from Johnson and I am very much looking forward to seeing where he can go with this program.
