they will need to finish with a winning b10 record, if not they will need to beat Purdue or MSU in the conf. tourney.
their poor play down the stretch will keep them out. Hope they make it, Tubby doing good work there. With the players they have coming in Gophs are gonna be a tourney regular very soon.
No offense but.....does it really matter? So they win a game and get bounced in the 2nd round.....People ask the same thing around here with Michigan and I give them the same answer.....but to answer your question I will say they are in as of now....but there are still 3 weeks left....there are probably 20 so called bubble teams right now....half will play themselves in......and the other half will play themselves out.....play .500 ball win two games in the Big Ten Tourney and you will be safely in....
They've got to win 3 of their last 4 (NW, at Illinois, Wisc, Mich) to be safe. Drop two of those game in addition to an unimpressive showing in the Big Ten Tournament and I don't know.
