We sit here a mere four hours before the Gophers tip off in their first NCAA Tournament game since 2013. A tournament where they’ve attained the highest seed they’ve had since that fateful Final Four run. The nation is collectively picking their opponent to pull an upset and, if you’re following the pundits, the game is already signed, sealed and delivered for the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders.
In a few hours we’ll either be elated or devastated. Planning our Saturdays around another game or talking about how awesome next season is going to be. We’ll be doing one of those things by 7pm tonight.
