Gophers Path to the NIT? 18 Wins Should Do It

[UpAndUnder43]

I'm with ya. Just a little negative this morning. Watching the Vikings didn't help. Then more gopher bball that can't compete in any way with a real team.
Sigh...

It was not an ideal day for minnesota sports fans--thats for sure. Sun rose this morning, coffee was cold (I only drink cold brew) and it didnt snow. Could be worse!

With the win over Arkansas Pine Bluff, the Gophers are 5-0 in Hodger’s “Must Wins (go 8-0)” bucket.

Go Gophers!!

Survive and advance. In a way, in a way.......

With Alcorn State canceled, are we still needing 18 wins or can we get into NIT with 17?

Go Gophers!!

Great question, Bleed! Let's just keep it at 18, but I'll replace the Alcorn State game with our annual Weakling Wednesday Big Ten Tournament game.

Edit to "The Path" coming shortly.

Hmm. Seem to be falling off the pace in that category

This is a joke post, honestly??!? “Serious” can we make the g-damn ‘NIT’ talk in very early Jan.?!?! That is not good…. BTW, even post is a a joke……. (No, they will not. 3 wins max in BT. 3.)

 

[BleedGopher]

With the loss to Nebraska, the Gophers fail to go 7-0 in Hodger’s “Must Wins (go 7-0)” bucket and finish this bucket 6-1. We’ll have to make up for this loss in another bucket.

Go Gophers!!

Hey dumbass (that’s you Oly), this thread started back in October, not January. Finishing what I started. Douchebag.

It felt good to put a “W” in that particular bucket. Let’s get another one on MLK Day!

4 more straight games from the likely underdog bucket. Could make some hay going 2-2 or better.

Lookin’ good.

NIT is not the goal for this roster, NCAA Tournament is the goal and always should be. This roster has more than enough talent and depth to push for the tournament bid.

Lol

 

[RogueGopher]

Gophers winning 20 games this year

Still mathematically on the table.

 

[GopherPharmaBiz]

Guessing any hope for the NIT this year is off the table?

NIT hopes are dead. NCAA hopes are alive!

The Gophers have the 4th longest losing streak (11) in the country. Only Presbyterian (16), Cal Poly (16) and Cal (12) have longer.
