The Minnesota basketball team finished just 9-22 last year and 3-13 in Big Ten play. New head coach Tubby Smith inherits a team that returns 10 players. The team lost JC transfers Limar Wilson and Engen Nurumbi, who left the program before the end of the season. They added local products Blake Hoffarber and Al Nolen Jr. to add depth in the backcourt.
