2014-15 Record: 18-15 (6-12)

Key Players:

GCarlos Morris, Sr

FJoey King, Sr

GNate Mason, So

Outlook:

There were decent expectations forRichard Pitino‘s Minnesota Golden Gophers last season. However, they didn’t live up to them. This time around, the expectations aren’t quite as high.

Pitino lost a great deal of his leadership from a season ago and with the exception of Morris and King, he’ll be relying on his freshmen and sophomores for production.

On paper, this could be a decent team, but expect the inexperience to ultimately hold this team from being a factor in the Big Ten this year.

Projected Record: 13-15 (4-14)
