Barring anything really strange happening (i.e Rutgers winning more than 1 game), Gophers appear headed for the #12-13 game. Looking at remaining schedules it's almost a foregone conclusion the opponent will be Illinois, though Northwestern remains a possibility. There's a part of me that wants to play Northwestern a third time. Is that crazy?

Wednesday, March 9 (1st Round)
#12 Illinois (4-11) vs. #13 GOPHERS (2-13), 3:30 (ESPN2)
#11 Northwestern (5-10) vs. #14 Rutgers (0-15), 6 (BTN)

Thursday, March 10 (2nd Round)
#8 Purdue (8-6) vs. #9 Penn State (6-9), 11 (BTN)
#5 Wisconsin (10-5) vs. Illinois/GOPHERS winner, 1:30 (BTN)
#7 Ohio State (10-6) vs. #10 Nebraska (6-10), 5:30 (ESPN2)
#6 Michigan (10-5) vs. Northwestern/Rutgers winner, 8 (ESPN2)

Friday, March 11 (Quarterfinals)
#1 Indiana (13-3) vs. Purdue/Penn State winner, 11 (ESPN)
#4 Michigan State (10-5) vs. Wisconsin/Illinois/GOPHERS winner, 1:30 (ESPN)
#2 Maryland (11-4) vs. Ohio State/Nebraska winner, 5:30 (BTN)
#3 Iowa (11-4) vs. Michigan/Northwestern/Rutgers winner, 8 (BTN)
 



Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, Maryland/Iowa. All teams we almost beat/beat/will beat before season's end. Let's hope they have to delay the new 2 hour selection show while they madly re-do the bracket...

Dude are you telling me we can't win 5 games in 5 days??

Once the bracket is announced, I'm assuming you can find odds to win the Big Ten tournament. Gophers would be 200 to 1?
