Going to (potentially) be an awesome night of basketball tomorrow. Northwestern and Michigan State leading directly into the Gophers and Indiana. I'd say the highest and most feasible seed the Gophers can reach is 5. So I'll be pulling for NW tomorrow.
Also, very fun bubble v. bubble matchup...
Gophers can potentially jump OSU in NET with a win. Since this is a Q1 game for the buckeyes, they probably wouldn't drop too much however. OSU at 66, Gophers now up to 73.

Here's a really fun site that let's you choose different outcomes for the final 6 games, as well as simulate the big ten tourney, to see just what it would take for the Gophers to dance. Obviously it's a long shot, but kind of fun to...
Thought the ceiling for this team early on was 10-10 in BT. Given the Iowa collapse, FT mishaps vs. Wisco, and first half vs. Perdue, the actual ceiling may have been closer to 12-8. That said, will still be ecstatic if they can snag 4 more wins. While some folks here will scoff at being...
A win here would finally put the Gophers in the some bubble discussions. They probably jump close to around 75 in the NET with a road Q1 win and put themselves in very good position to make it to 12 wins in the conference. Even if they make it to 12-8, they are a long shot to sneak in. But to...
This team was projected to finish DEAD LAST in a mediocre Big Ten. The last two years have been absolutely abysmal basketball. They are currently sitting in position for a double bye for the BTT. You have to enjoy the ride. Minnesota sports fans are the kings of being pre-miserable. It's okay to...
Would love if the boys could deal a big blow to Sparty's postseason chances tonight. Their metrics are great, but their resume looks pretty shoddy. Tough schedule, but are just 2-7 in Q1 games and have played just three Quad 2 games. Hopefully a loss in the barn will kick-off a bit of losing...
Hi - long time listener, first time caller
Hilarious that this thread began as someone simply stating they've enjoyed the season so far and has now divulged into debates about CBJ and climate change. Because of course.
