The LOL was for the Clone fans who think they are a tourney team.
In the 3 or 4 preseason conference rankings that I have looked at, I haven't seen Minny picked better than 10th in any of them.
#1 Michigan State lost by 16 in a secret scrimmage to Gonzaga.
#13 Texas Tech lost by 10 to UTEP in a secret scrimmage.
These mean nada.
