After five consecutive losses the Gophers have piled up three wins in a row against beatable conference foes, putting themselves squarely in the discussion for an NCAA Tournament berth. It hasn’t always been pretty, but at the end of the day the Gophers are 6-6 in the Big Ten with four of their final six games at home.
Do you feel that? That’s cautious optimism right there. Boy, do I miss that.
Up next are the Indiana Hoosiers, who come to town having lost five of their last six games, with the lone win coming over Penn State.
