per Marcus:
ESPN bracket expert Joe Lunardi has Minnesota among his “Last Four In” teams on the right side of the bubble. Lunardi’s First Four group includes the Gophers playing Northern Iowa, both as No. 11 seeds.
Sporting News’ Mike DeCourcy also included Minnesota in his Fox Sports College Hoops latest bracket projection in the First Four playing Texas Christian.
Most importantly, the NCAA’s NET rankings moved the Gophers up to No. 39. They currently are 3-6 in Quadrant 1 games, but they also improved to 1-5 in Quad 1 true road games.

NCAA tourney projections have Richard Pitino's Gophers back 'in' after sweeping Ohio State
Nobody makes the NCAA tournament in January, but you can play yourself out of contention -- or get some notice with the kind of victory that Minnesota scored Thursday night over the Buckeyes.
