Is the NIT a realistic goal for the Gophers this season?

Absolutely- that’s the floor IMO

Agreed. I never want to set the NIT as a goal for a Big Ten team, but given where we've been, that should be the floor. And from there we build.

Go Gophers!!

Why would a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament move down to play in the NIT?

In today's college world... N.I.T within 3 years for a B1G program definitely should be expected.... So I really hope so

This team has a 2016-17 feel. Very few believers, depth and a freshman who could push them over the top like Amir did (Christie).

Think we're going to have a better RPI than St. Thomas?

Just think how low it I’ll be when we beat Missouri!

As a side note, the new NIT selection process os interesting. Say the Big 10 gets 8 ncaa teams. The next 2 highest NET teams get in. I'm interested to see if they favor say the 11th-12th place B1G team or say the MAAC team that went 25-5 but lost their conference tournament. I'd guess with the non AQ teams guaranteed a spot thst more P5 teams get bids. Now I disagree with that plan but thinking in theory it should be easier to get a bid in a bigger league
