I don't disagree with a single thing you said. It was a great summary and exactly what I meant when I said "they don't look like it on paper." Crazy things happen though. Who would have thought the Gophers would finish top 4 and Indiana would miss the tournament? Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if everything goes their way and they sneak into the top 4 yet again. Obviously I would not be surprised if they finished in the bottom half as well. Lots of unknowns on that team, probably more than any other team in the conference, other than maybe Indiana.
Touche! This season's Minnesota is a good comparison to next year's Wisconsin. If you look at their roster through a very optimistic lens, you could reasonably see them sneaking into the 4th spot. I'll make a firm prediction of 7th for the Badgers, which assumes that one or two teams suffer injuries and fall to the bottom half.
