at Northwestern, W
-Gophers beat Cats twice last season and once this year already
vs. Wisconsin, W
-Home game against team the Gophers swept last season
vs. Indiana, W
-Home game with revenge on their minds
vs. Purdue, L
-Boilers just too tough
at Illinois, L
-Illinois playing too hot
at Michigan, W
-This team is so damn beatable!
vs. Iowa, W
-Final regular season home game against bad team
vs. First round Big 10, W
vs. Second round Big 10, L
That would leave the Gophers at 11-9 in Big 10 and 20-12 overall.
Here's what the resume would look like:
Key wins: vs. Butler (neutral), vs. Ohio State, vs. Wisconsin, at Northwestern
Key losses: vs. Portland (neutral), at Indiana, vs. Michigan, at Miami (Fla.)
 

Nice dream, but I don't see it happening. If we win tomorrow my faith will grow a bit, but still highly unlikely.

They would not get in with this scenario.
 



Only way the Gophers get to the NCAA's is if they buy tickets like the rest of us have to do.

Seriously, Gophers are destined to play in the NIT. Considering they lost three of their best players, an NIT bid isn't so bad. At least instead of one and done, the Gophers have a better chance of playing more games and seeing how their young guys handle pressure games.

That won't do quite enough. Need 1 or 2 more W.
 

The only way for them to get into the NCAA is to win the B10 tourney. or every other team in the country loses its next 6 games. or buy tickets to watch from the sidelines.
 



I agree. This would not be enough. Maybe this and a much better showing in the big ten tourney. Our best shot would be an incredible run in the BTT.
