After Sunday's 82-69 loss to undefeated Ohio State (no shame in that, the Buckeyes looked every bit the part of its #1 ranking), the Gophers have hit a crossroads in their 2010-11 campaign. There's no dancing around it. Thursday's game vs. Illinois -- another potential "bubbler" -- is absolutely critical, and certainly the result likely will indicate whether or not the Gophers will be a viable at-large candidate on Selection Sunday. As of today, the Gophers remain safely in the NCAA Tournament field. That said, make no mistake about it, if they lose to the Illini, they officially become a bubble team, and for the first time this season their NCAA bid will be in serious peril.
