not quite sure. it all depends on the ncaa and their new discusssion of regionalizing the tournament. if that happens a pretty good chance should they make the tournament no matter what the gophers seed is. if the ncaa stays with it's current tournament format that would be up in the air as it would depend on und's seed and minnesota's seed as they would not be allowed to face each other in the first round assuming no more than 5 teams fromt he wcha get in. so the best answer right now is check back in about a month or after the ncaa meets.
