Goophers are a #8 seed in ESPN's March Sadness Tourney this year. Minnesota Golden Gophers, 25.57 Previous seed: 5 The Gophers took a pretty sizable fall after making the tournament and blasting Louisville in the first round, only their second tourney win since their run to 1997 Final Four. It's been a pretty bleak existence since that run (which was invalidated by NCAA sanctions but we don't consider that in this exercise) and '97 represents the last time the Gophers have made the Sweet 16 and won a Big Ten championship. Part of the reason for Minnesota's misery (besides Wisconsin's success) is a lack of consistency. The Gophers have only made back-to-back tourneys once since 1995.
