13. Minnesota (8-22, 2-16)
Last Week: 13

Minnesota is now down to just five scholarship players largely because Nate Mason, Kevin Dorsey, and Dupree McBrayer did some really stupid things, and senior Joey King got hurt in their game against Wisconsin and is likely out for the season.

Minnesota was blasted in both its games this past week, losing vs Wisconsin and at Rutgers.  However, due to the shortage of players, Minnesota stays at 13, despite losing to Rutgers on Saturday.

It has been a very rough season for Richard Pitino and the Gophers this season, but it should end very soon.  Minnesota plays Illinois Wednesday afternoon in the 12 vs 13 game in the Big Ten tournament and if the Gophers will, they will take on Iowa in the second round.
