The Gophers hoops team doesn't have much hope when it comes to making the NCAA tournament, but if they win the next two games (Purdue, Illinois) they at least have a shot. And at this point in the season, its more than they deserve.
Put us firmly in the camp of "there's no way they beat Purdue" tonight. Purdue is waaaaaaaaay too much for them. They are going to go small and make Tubby put some guys in to cover the perimeter. Iverson and Sampson are too big and dopey to cover anything outside the lane. They will have to play Westbrook a bunch and that guy is a cancer -- we hope we are wrong, but they just don't match up with them at all. Plus, Damien Johnson basically said Purdue is overrated and he thinks the Gophers have as much or more talent than Purdue - but the Gophers just aren't as nationally hyped. Hmmmm...nothing like lighting a fire under the #3 team in the country who might have over-looked you if you didn't open your big mouth.
We were wrong about USA/Canada and we could be wrong about tonight. Let's hope so.
