13. Minnesota (7-19, 1-13)

Minnesota is not good at all.  Richard Pitino inherited a tournament team when he took over for Tubby Smith in 2013, and since then Minnesota has gotten progressively worse, which is not exactly a good thing for Pitino.  However, this year’s team has been close in a lot of its losses, and they finally notched its first Big Ten win last Thursday vs Maryland.

Another opportunity for a win looms as the Gophers face Rutgers on Tuesday, and Rutgers will be without its best player, stud freshman point guard Corey Sanders, who will be serving the third game of a four game suspension.
