The Minnesota Gophers have hired Niko Medved away from Colorado State as their next head coach. Colorado State lost to Maryland in the second round of the NCAA tournament on a last second shot after defeating Memphis in the first round.
Medved, who is a Minneapolis native and attended Minnesota, will replace Ben Johnson.
Last season, Colorado State earned a First Four berth, where it blew out Virginia 67-42 before losing to Texas.
