Minnesota Golden Gophers

Since the day in late January when Minnesota recorded a comfortable 11-point win at home over Illinois, the Gophers have proceeded to lose five of six games. True, that spell was lifted long enough for Richard Pitino's men to blow out Indiana at Williams Arena, a game in which Minnesota drained 12 3s. In the team's five losses bracketing that win, however, Minnesota has made just 15 treys total. Shots aren't falling, opponents are packing the paint and the Gophers' projected seed is dropping. Pitino's team is now verging on "last four in" territory, and the profile-defining win at Wisconsin is sagging a bit under the weight of all the missed 3s. At 7-9 in Big Ten play, Minnesota wraps up with road dates at Rutgers, Northwestern and Maryland and a home game against Purdue. (Updated: Feb. 21)
