The 2021 matchups were South Carolina vs. South Dakota and Arizona vs. Louisville and in 2022 the one matchup was South Carolina vs. South Dakota State.
South Dakota, South Carolina, and Gonzaga all played each other in the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic in 2020. I don't know if there any...
The good thing is Gophers look like a legit Top-25 team now and hopefully can stay there. Last year pollsters were lazy and got fooled by their record from having an easy start to their schedule despite having a non-competitive loss against fringe-Top 25 Nebraska (like how Minnesota should've...
Because Maryland beat Kentucky (Q1 win) and Princeton (Q2 win) and Michigan State beat Ole Miss (Q1) and Clemson (Q2) but Gophers lost their Q1 and Q2 non conference games.
The Gophers are held back a bit because most of the top teams had a better non-conference than the Gophers (they needed to beat Kansas and/or Alabama).
To be much higher right now they needed to beat Kansas and/or Alabama. If they could've beaten Alabama with Alabama being good this year that would've made a difference but it is what it is.
Gophers are as good at beating mediocre teams as any team in the country.
Luckily for the Gophers, Wisconsin hasn't been as good on the road as they have at home yet.
Quad 1 is 1-25 Home 1-35 Neutral and 1-45 Road.
Oregon coming into today's NET was 24. Even if they aren't that good (like how the Gophers probably aren't the 16th best team in the country), any Top 45 team is basically equivalent to any sort of (at-large) Tournament-caliber team (which Oregon...
I'm not going to bother to double check, but since the start of Big Ten play in 2019-2020 (after the Gophers beat Arizona St and down-year Notre Dame non-conference then their season fell apart), the Gophers are something like 10-40 when on National TV (including Peacock) including 2-18 on games...
