per Marcus:

Instead of doing everything to stay in NCAA tournament contention this month, the Gophers basketball team has been doing the opposite.

With a 1-5 record in February and six losses in the last seven games after falling Sunday 68-64 at Rutgers, Richard Pitino has a team playing itself out of the chance at making the Big Dance.

One top bracket expert believes the Gophers are still in, though. Not even among the last four teams likely to have their bubbles burst as of Monday.

So what’s keeping the Gophers “in” based on CBSSports’ Jerry Palm’s predictions? Pretty simple, really.

“Teams are worse,” Palm told the Star Tribune on Monday. “It’s a bad bubble.”
