Gophers face roster questions as basketball season approaches

Minnesota Gophers basketball returns to practice, gearing up for their first exhibition game on Oct. 15 against Omaha. Key questions surround Cade Tyson's eligibility and the bench rotation for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Tyson, who averaged 19.6 points last season, remains uncertain for the season. The team’s starting lineup could change based on his status, with potential impacts on bench players. The exhibition games will provide opportunities to evaluate lineup strategies before the regular season begins on Nov. 2 against North Dakota.
