Richard Pitino will be back for 2020-21. I’ve already written, at length, about how bad the numbers look for Richard, so I can’t say I agree with this call. He has lost nearly double the amount of Big Ten games he has won (48-82) in his 8 years on campus and he has missed on the last 15+ top prospects to come out of Minnesota.

With that being said, I have also pronounced my man-crush for Richard, as well… so I am happy we get to have him around for another season. This is your chance to get at least one more season of Pitino on Twitter… I’d recommend following now, if you aren’t already.

With all of the unrest nationwide, there is no longer any unrest inside of the Gopher Men’s Basketball program.
