A highly ranked Gopher team enters the Devaney Center with a first year head coach a group of highly talented players. Gopher head coach Keegan Cook’s first year started off with a very challenging preconference schedule. Minnesota has already played TCU (W), Baylor (W), Texas (L), Florida (L), Oregon (W), Stanford (L) and Creighton (L).
These are all tough teams that regularly make deep runs in the NCAA tournament. You can see in the parenthesis wins and losses and why this talented Minnesota team is just 5-4. Just like the very good Kentucky team Nebraska met last week, Minnesota is better than their record indicates.
