MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota fired coach Ben Johnson on Thursday after four years of repeatedly rebuilding rosters at his alma mater without coming close to an NCAA Tournament appearance, which has become a fleeting accomplishment for a program that has fallen behind in the rugged and expanded Big Ten.

Ben Johnson was a Xavier Musketeers assistant for three seasons before Minnesota named him its head coach in March 2021.

Another Big Ten basketball job is open. Minnesota fired Ben Johnson after four seasons, Director of Athletics Mark Coyle announced Thursday morning. The Gophers (15-17) had their season end on Wednesday when they lost to Northwestern in the opening game of the Big Ten Tournament.

Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle has options to explore, including some Minnesota natives, in the search to replace Johnson.
