minnesota storms the court

[haywood jahblowme]

beating purdue - assumption is they are now locked into NCAA with a current under .500 conf record.

is Indiana next?

doesn't happen a lot when under .500 teams are talking about being locks for ncaa especially after only winning 3 of their last 9

tough tough league this year

Minnesota is rated 56th in NET rankings. I’d say they still have some work to do to get in. Far from a lock at this point.

They're a lock. They were a 10 or 11 seed in many brackets BEFORE this quad 1 win tonight. Book it.

I think Jordan Murphy is my favorite player in the Big Ten. Those two good freshmen for the Gophers were not too good last night but I'm hoping that the NU freshmen next season can look like those guys.

I agree mostly. If they lost to Maryland and then have a bad loss to start the BTT then they probably drop down to the bubble / last 4 in at risk of other conf tourney upsets messing up their spot. That said, I think they are in the middle of the conference standings, so in a 7/10 or 8/9 game it's hard to see them having a really bad BTT loss given the depth of the conference. They are in with very high likelihood, and I'd put them in the "should be in" category, but not quite a total lock yet.

Big Ten looking like 8 teams in overall. Top 6 are easily locked in. OSU and Minny probably squeeze in, Indiana probably just on the outside looking in though still have a chance, back from the dead after the second MSU win.

OSU may have just switched to bubble and they may see their spot go to IN or MN
