per Marcus:
The Gophers will advance to the Elite Eight
Why it happens: Balance is huge in the NCAA tournament, and the Gophers were one of the top teams nationally last season in defensive efficiency (22nd) but had problems on the offensive end (77th). Pitino says all five starters could average in double figures. Offense might come a lot easier this season.
Why it won't: Poor seeding —like last March. Minnesota got a raw deal with Middle Tennessee getting a 12th seed last year. The Blue Raiders were not intimidated after upsetting Michigan State the previous year.
