This is BS. We should be 12th.
Very pleased with the gophers ranking though. I'd also put Purdue in the top 25 assuming Edwards stays and Swannigan is the only guy they lose.

No we should have been 10th or less and then the article would have listed our players��Now you made me laugh.

Another hack journalist puts us in the bottom 50% of the top 25...
< /sarcasm>
Myron probably ranked us like 315
per ESPN:
17. Minnesota Golden Gophers
Minnesota, the No. 5 seed that lost twice to Wisconsin, caught the brunt of the angst over Wisconsin's underseeding (and subsequent second-round knockout of No. 1 Villanova), and it didn't help when the Golden Gophers fell to Middle Tennessee in the first round. Oh well. Coach Richard Pitino's team might not have been as good as the Badgers, but it did play top-25 defense, and it will return everyone of note moving forward, from point guard Nate Mason to shot-block specialist Reggie Lynch. Pitino also added four-star point guard Isaiah Washington to help Mason on the perimeter; he could fight his way into significant minutes right away. More pressing: This is a team that won eight games in 2015-16. Tourney seed aside, this turnaround was already spectacular. It will probably continue apace.

Akeem getting no love from most of these pubs that say we have all 5 starters returning. He'll be a more difficult loss to cover than most people realize.
per The Big Lead:
16. Minnesota (24-10, 1st round of the NCAA Tournament)
...
Next question: When teams zone them, is there enough 3-point shooting? That could fall upon freshman Jamir Harris.
