8. Minnesota
2017 Review: Minnesota had a blazing start to the year, starting 13-3 and climbing as high as 12 in the AP poll. It was all downhill from there, as the Gophers proceeded to lose 14 of their next 16 contests. They even lost to Rutgers in their final game of the season. Who loses to Rutgers, right? Sorry.
Where they are heading into 2018: So much production returns for Minnesota, but there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding which Minnesota team will show up this season. Jordan Murphy will be back after averaging a double-double last season, as will Amir Coffey, a diversely talented scorer. Richard Pitino even picked up a capable point guard via transfer in Marcus Carr. There’s no doubt Minnesota has the talent to succeed, but they could also fall to the same fate as last year. Minnesota is genuinely a team that could contend for the conference, but is also one that could be a bottom-dweller.
