Realistically speaking...the gophers probably are not going to get in...nor will they go 8-1 to finish the season. I believe they have to go at least 7-2 and even then they will probably be an 11 or 12 seed with a first round loss... maybe the NIT could help this team become more of a unit, help them believe in each other a little more rather then getting blown out of the gym in an NCAA Game.
