I like to think of the Gophers as being a cut above those guys, but we're still in the third quartile of the Big Ten. Doesn't help that we've arguably underacheived for 4 of the last 5 seasons, with Pitino's first year being the exception, and 2011-12 was the year Mbakwe got hurt early in the season. Our post-season performance has been better than the teams below us though.
