elite eight
clem haskins was hired as the gopher basketball coach in 1986, expected to clean up and rebuild the gopher program which had been torn apart by the madison sexual assault allegations (of which the players were later acquitted) during the final year of coach jim dutcher. though wins did not come easily in the first couple years of haskins regime, by the 1988–89 season he had the gophers in the 1989 ncaa division i men's basketball tournament as a #11 seed, and directed a cinderella run into the sweet 16. in the 1989–90 season haskins led the gophers on another cinderella run in the 1990 ncaa division i men's basketball tournament. this time as a no. 6 seed, the gophers went all the way to the elite eight, and came within a basket of reaching their first ever final four. though haskins led the gophers to post-season success in his first three seasons, the 1990 elite eight appearance would be the last time under haskins the gophers would "officially" appear in the ncaa tournament, due to their future tournament results being vacated as a result of ncaa violations.
