Minnesota Men’s Basketball has now released their full schedule for the upcoming season. The Gophers will play a compressed Big Ten schedule, though unlike other Big Ten teams will not be playing two early Big Ten games in December. Instead, they will play Rutgers and Nebraska.* What can we expect from this year’s slate?
First, Minnesota clearly believes (correctly in our view) that they will be a tournament team. How else to explain a non-conference schedule that provides at this time very little bump to the SoS. That is not to say that there are not potentially good games aginst good teams.
