Well folks, it's official. The Gophers made it to the Big Dance. We expected them to get here, but then, when a team falls out of the season like that, you never really know, do you.
But here they are, as an 11-seed, playing UCLA in Austin (which means I win, too). Will Jordan Adams' absence give the Gophers the upper hand? How do the teams match up? What happens if the Gophers do manage a win? How secure is Tubby Smith's job?
I'm sure you have lots of questions. And maybe just lots of thoughts on suggestions on awesome places to eat in Austin. Either way, join me at noon.
