Gophers make it into Not-so-elite-eight


I'd agree they belong there. It is amazing how 1-2 games can really turn around the season for a BB team. Win against Michigan at home and Indiana on the road, and we are nowhere near this list, IMO...even with the other "bad" losses.
 

Not that it makes a huge difference but:

"There have been some signs that the Golden Gophers have enough to make a nice run in the conference tournament -- but losing by 28 at home to Michigan would tend to curb the enthusiasm about their chances."

At least get the facts right. At home?? That would never have happened at home, c'mon now.
 

Yeah, I agree, we are closer to being off this list than several of the teams mentioned. One thing I thought was unfair - No mention of us losing Al Nolen.

Sportswriters never let the facts get in the way of an opinion.
