Let me tell you that as a parent of a college athelete, it isn't just the NCAA men's basketball selection committee. It is like this in every sport at every level in college. I honestly don't know how else they would do it. Point is, if you want to be in ANY NCAA tourney at the end of the year...

Michigan State has proven time and again that it doesn't matter if you beat good teams in non-conference. Just that you schedule them and steal 1 maybe 2 of them.

Correct and the Gophers just didn't really have any or at least many good wins in conference. But as it pertains to the noncon schedule, I will say that playing a cupcake with frosting on top or just a cupcake with sprinkles makes no difference IMO. All are cupcakes. Mid majors that finish in...

Keep coach Izzo employed. They are an automatic if they are close IMO and can and will leapfrog teams when it comes down to it.

This season is just too bad for our guys. They are a pretty good team and close to deserving I think of a bid or at least some consideration. The Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri losses are what is going to kill them. That and the fact that over half of the Big Ten is bad didnt' give them many...

I'm with you. But the past 10 years has seen many more mid majors invited. Gophers IMO are as good as any team that is going to sit in that 8-13 seed range. But they won't make it unless they win the BTT. Part of that is playing a non-con full of patsies and part of it is not beating any good...

Ok. Making the dance is what I was talking about. Yes it would be nice to be over .500 in BT. NIT or moral victories really isn’t what I’m interested in.

Dang. Good game but they couldn’t figure out how to guard these guys. Season is over now IMO, short of winning the BT Tourney

Just have to win tonight period. Can't/won't have any NCAA tourney talk without it. Go get it. They are not that great.

I watched a decent amount of the game. Looked like Nebraska did a really good job of defending us and got away with ALOT that let them be super physical on defense. Would have loved to have this game but the most important one has always been the next one. They HAVE to beat Illinois or their...

This next game is important, but the most important game on the schedule is Illinois. We HAVE to win that game in order to make the tourney IMO.

I will say what I have said the last few games. This team looks like a tournament team. The play hard, good defense, rebound and have now(last 4-5 games) started to play great offense. It's a shame we lost Wisky and Iowa games, but they still have a decent shot, no matter what the rankings say...

He's a beaut. And improving seemingly game by game. Athletic as heck, works his butt off on both ends. Exciting player.

Offense has been run much better the last handful of games. Lots of moving, picks, cuts, etc. Way less of the standing around iso ball stuff. It is a much more pleasing game to watch and works!

It is just too bad for that Iowa loss and the crap non conference schedule. This team passes the eye test as a tourney team to me.

Agreed, but teams will come after both. And both are needed if you want a tourney team next year. Christie IMO, at some point leaves for greener pastures(especially if the Gophers don't win fairly big). I hope we can keep him for another year possibly 2 though!

5-2 or 6-1. IF they beat Rutgers, they will go on a run. Illinois is NOT THAT GOOD and that will be their statement win. NWern is done and so is OSU, PSU and Indiana. This team is playing good. Take away the last 10 minutes of the Iowa game. PS this is more hope than what I think will actually...

Ps can’t stand Edey. Biggest, dopiest most annoying big guy ever

They look like a tourney team. It’s too bad they lost some games early to stinkers like mizzou, SF and Ohio State. Also losing to Iowa was embarrassing they are flat out not good and we had their asses whooped sealed and delivered until the last 7 minutes of that game

Iowa loss was a gut punch. If this team wanted to think tourney they had to win that game being up that big. Purdue is going to hammer us, need to steal Illinois for sure, take care of business at home then get one of NW or Nebraska on the road.
