Projection: likely out
Minnesota's resume is struggling due to a combination of weak non-conference wins and an inability to secure victories against top-tier opponents in the Big Ten. The wins against Oral Roberts and Yale hold little weight given their low standings, while setbacks against North Texas and Michigan State highlight their challenges against stronger competition. The recent loss at Indiana and the defeats to Purdue and Michigan not only dent their hopes but also underline a troubling trend against highly-ranked teams. Upcoming games will be crucial; facing Oregon and the rematch with Michigan State looms large, as victories in those matchups could help bolster their standing, while continued losses would further diminish their tournament aspirations.
