After being winless in the conference, Minnesota has gotten on a roll in their last three games. The big win over a then ranked Michigan team has given life to this Golden Gophers team, who went from being 0-6 in conference play to now being 3-6.
Minnesota would still have a long way to go to make the NCAA Tournament, but if they continue to play the way they have and keep taking down ranked opponents, nothing can be counted out. The Golden Gophers are coming off a big win over No. 15 Oregon, where Minnesota had almost a 10-point victory over the Ducks at home in Williams Arena, and that game was a perfect setup for their next matchup.
The Golden Gophers now face what is probably their toughest opponent this season as they travel to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans, the team atop the Big Ten conference, and has yet to lose a game in conference play. Minnesota was able to take down Michigan when they were undefeated in the Big Ten; now they have a chance at Michigan State to do the damage.
