I hate the "what if's, but - say the Gophs had taken care of business in a couple of games this year, nothing much more than they did, but just were able to close a little better, where do you think we wouldbe sitting -

"What if" we beat A&M, Ind, NW, MSU, and Purdue...

We would be 23-7 overall and 13-5 in the Big Ten, whithout really being a different team skill level wise...

What do you think our RPI would be, and where do you think we would be looking at being seeded in the NCAA's?

I would guess our RPI would be in the high 20's or low 30's and we would be looking at a 5 seed, maybe higher if we did some damage in the B10 tourney...

Thoughts?
 

It hurts so much to even read posts like this because it's so true. They're literally just a few blown leads from being a legitimate Sweet 16 team easily. But I'm sure many teams that suck or are mediocre have similar stories to their seasons. Point is, they didn't get it done, plain and simple.

I've venture 25 RPI with a 4 seed.
 

What if what you wrote hadn't shown up here, verbatim, almost every day the last few weeks?
