Lunardi just will not put us in the field. He's really starting to bug me.

I like Minnesota's resume better than any of those "last four in," to be honest. But I'm biased.

I do too. They probably won't, but I wish the committee would realize that BYU is a struggling, overrated team who won't have one of their top 2 players playing in the NCAA Tournament. We can offer more intrigue to the field than they can.

Niether will Palm. He has Missouri as the last team in and our resume is better than theirs.

I guess needing a miracle to beat #146 TAMU at home, getting smoked by Tennessee and needing 2OT to beat #146 TAMU in the last 8 days has really impressed Palm? Give me a break.

Palm has something against the Gophers. Trust me, he wouldn't put us in even if we beat the Badgers tomorrow. Palm is the last source I go to for predictions.

Looks like we might have to resort to the Pitino angle, as Sid suggested. Haha...

It's weird. Last year he loved us. His quotes to Ameilia about us maybe needing 3 wins and needing to win the BTT if hwe want to be totally comfortable has me pretty much ignoring him though. That's just absurd.
 



Marquette fails for the 3rd time to help the Gophers. My hatred of them is approaching their neighbors.
 

I'm surprised by Palm and Lunardi both this year.
The criteria they are using to push other teams above MN is variable and changes depending on what team they are being compared to.

SMU's 5th best WIN all season is against a team who is ranked 125.
If SMU had played PSU today and won, beating PSU would have been their 5th best win.
