January 13, 2014 Update

My Gophers lost another very close game after taking Michigan State to OT.  That continues Minnesota's streak of consecutive Big Ten games within 3 points (in regulation), now at four to start conference play.  It doesn't get much easier now, as the Gophers have Ohio State, @Iowa, and Wisconsin next.  It'll take at least one win out of those three games to remain in the runnings for Tournament selection.  Iowa shook things up with a convincing win over Ohio State over the weekend, bumping the Hawkeyes up to a 5-seed and the Buckeyes down to a 4-seed in the newest predictions.
