On one hand, it's great to give the young guys a taste of success. On the other hand, conference play is going to hit them square in the mouth.

Those traditionally garner good ratings. Most games by major conferences are against podunk beat-me-up squads. These games make the school money (they don't have to schedule a home and away) and their opponents are happy to go get beat up by a high-profile school and go home with $100k.

My skewed view has nothing to do with it.

The Gophers are THE ONLY team in the Big Ten that will not have played a ranked team prior to conference play.

Teach me more.

Weak ACC matchup and weak tournament field. Look at the field for the tournament next year, pair that with a UNC or somebody in the BT-ACC challenge, and then tell me that they're any different.

Don't care how creampuff this schedule has been. Wins are needed to remove some stink from the MN sports scene.

What I'm trying to say here is this: sure-fire Final Four team this year.

It's just they are better than Dayton and Indiana State. So is Virginia Tech. So is USC (at least compared to Dayton), despite being a truly bad team.

At half time, only one Gopher had more than one bucket and the team is shooting 25%

They weren't prepared for the road noise.
