40. Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Gophers have lost games, but every team Minnesota has lost to is good. Daniel Oturu and Marcus Carr are a legit inside-outside combo, and Richard Pitino's team is far better than its record (8-6) would indicate. The win over Ohio State showed what the Gophers are capable of, and the double-overtime loss at Purdue was emblematic of the kind of losses Minnesota has suffered. But, because the Big Ten is so tough, there are more losses looming, but also more opportunities for quality wins.
