MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
Nov. 13 – TENNESSEE TECH (272)
Nov. 16 -- STEPHEN F. AUSTIN (74)
Nov. 19 -- UTAH VALLEY (238)
Nov. 26 – vs. Butler (24) (Anaheim Classic)
Nov. 27 – vs. Portland or UCLA (Anaheim Classic)
Nov. 29 – vs. Clemson, Long Beach State, Texas A&M or West Virginia (Anaheim Classic)
Dec. 2 – at Miami-Florida (65)
Dec. 5 – BROWN (307)
Dec. 8 -- MORGAN STATE (130)
Dec. 12 -- SAINT JOSEPH’S (105)
Dec. 15 – NORTHERN ILLINOIS (329)
Dec. 23 -- SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (283)
Average RPI of Opponents: 182.7
Average RPI of Home Opponents: 217.25
NCAA Qualifiers (3): Butler, Morgan State, Stephen F. Austin
Top 100 (3): Butler (24), Miami-Florida (65), Stephen F. Austin (74)
Projected Opponents: UCLA (33) & West Virginia (21) at 76 Classic.
The Good?: Bar none, the 76 Classic has the most competitive field of all the in-season tournaments. The Gophers need to take full advantage by advancing into the winner's bracket, which would assure them of playing 3 quality opponents, something their schedule desperately needs.
The (not so) Bad?: The Gophers got a good draw for their ACC road game. Most preseason prognosticators are tabbing Miami as a sleeper in the ACC, meaning a win vs. the Hurricanes could carry some clout (if necessary) come Selection Sunday.
The Ugly?: Another barf-bag special of a home schedule. When Morgan State, Stephen F. Austin and a Saint Joe's team pegged to finish 12th in the A-10 are touted as your top 3 home games, season-ticket holders know they have another "praise the porcelain" November & December in their future.
