Gophers at a glance: Minnesota, which seemed to lack confidence just a couple of weeks ago, is suddenly riding high after three wins in four games. The Gophers are playing like they want to be here, and visions of winning the NIT are pushing them. Against No. 3-seeded LaSalle in the NIT opener, Rodney Williams and Austin Hollins took control when Andre Hollins -- who had led the team in the previous two games -- got into foul trouble.

Miami at a glance: In early February the Hurricanes were looking NCAA-bound after a five-game win streak -- the victims included Duke -- had them sitting at 6-3 in the ACC. But Miami went 3-4 the rest of the way. The second-seeded Hurricanes are a talented bunch -- they've also beaten Florida State this year -- led by Durand Scott (12.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg) and Kenny Kadji (12.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg).
