Minnesota [18-12 (9-9), RPI: 76, SOS: 46] The Gophers are probably a fringe bubble candidate at best, but they’re back on the board after routing Iowa 88-53 on Sunday to finish 9-9 in Big Ten play. Frankly, the Gophers have as much of an argument as Illinois to be included in the NCAA field. The Gophers are 4-4 in their last eight games, including a 62-60 victory at Illinois on Feb. 27. The Gophers have three high-end victories, having beaten Wisconsin (home), Butler (neutral) and Ohio State (home). Minnesota is 3-6 against RPI top-50 foes, 4-7 against the top 100 and 3-7 in true road games. The Gophers have five losses to RPI sub-100 opponents, including an ugly 83-55 defeat at Michigan on Tuesday night. The Gophers are the No. 6 seed in the Big Ten tourney and play No. 11 seed Penn State on Thursday.
