Gophers are 20% of the way through their conference schedules, let's take a look at the current bracket. Next update at the 40% mark (8 games).

#12 Rutgers (0-3) vs. #13 Penn State (0-4), 5:30 CT (BTN)
#11 Nebraska (1-3) vs. #14 Illinois (0-4), 8 (BTN)

Thursday, March 14 (2nd Round)

Friday, March 15 (Quarterfinals)
#1 Michigan State (5-0) vs. GOPHERS/Iowa winner, 11:30 (BTN)
#4 Wisconsin (3-1) vs. Indiana/Rutgers/Penn State winner, 2 (BTN)
#2 Michigan (4-0) vs. Purdue/Northwestern winner, 6 (BTN)
#3 Maryland (4-1) vs. Ohio State/Nebraska/Illinois winner, 8:30 (BTN)
 

What's crazy to me is that I wouldn't be very surprised if this is how the actual bracket ended up looking.

Flip Wisconsin and Ohio State. Move Nebraska up a few spots. Wouldn't change much.
