The Gophers have been a NET darling all season (currently # 8), but have finally risen in a variety of who-you-beat resume rankings, including Wins Above Bubble (WAB) used by the NCAA Tournament Committee. As of this morning, the Gophers are up to 14 in WAB and 24 in RPI. A comparison as of Feb. 19 of the 10 BIG teams certain to make the Big Dance (Oregon and Nebraska on the bubble):
