ESPN Way-Too-Early 2026 Bracketology

[DietCokeFan]

ESPN Bracketology has the Gophers still on the 7 seed line; however, I think they moved spots (of the 7 seeds) Last week they had them playing in Baton Rouge with a potential second round game against LSU. Today they have them sitting in Louisville region. Opening up against #10 Villanova.

Keep winning and it will all work out! Go Gophs!

Kind of an interesting thought: If MSU loses at home to UCLA on Weds. and Iowa loses at home to Washington (possible), and the Gophers can beat Nebraska, the Gophers would technically have sole possession of 4th place in the BIG. They'd have a better conference record than MSU and they'd have a half-game lead and a tiebreaker advantage over the Hawkeyes. Gophers could really benefit from getting a double bye in the BIG tourney.

A double bye would be great.
I would take win over Nebraska, a lose by MSU and Washington, moving us into sole possession of 5th.
