Gophers vs. NCAA Qualifiers since 1999-00 Season (warning: long)

Something I've been tracking since the Monson era started. At this point it looks like we'll be able to add Georgia and maybe Western Kentucky to the "wins over NCAA qualifiers" ledger.

Thanks. What a pathetic run this has been. yipes. 15 years in the wilderness.

Not a lot of good there, that's for sure.

The one that stands out the most? 4 true road wins (in 73 chances) over NCAA qualifiers, and not once more than 1 in a season.

Ski U Mah!

4-69. Must be those Adidas balls.

So many of those numbers are so miserable, I can't pick just one that stands out.

Last year at this time I looked at all the other Big Ten teams (not Maryland and Rutgers) in the same time frame, and the Gophers were dead last in the # of road wins vs. NCAA qualifiers, not surprising, I guess, with these numbers. Behind Northwestern, behind Penn State, etc. ...

In fact, I think there was one season where Penn State had 3 or 4 in one season. Ouch.

These road records wouldn't bother me as much if we held serve at home most of the time. But Williams Arena is not the home court advantage it used to be (or seemed to be).

13-91 when not at home. .125. Pedro Florimon's batting average. Yikes.

OTOH, the road wins at Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan State in February are going to send this % sky rocketing.

That would qualify as a really good February.

That road record would bother me if we hadn't lost a home game in 10 years.

40% mark seems a significant dividing line between dance no dance

Great numbers Selectionman.
