I really think the opposite is true. It would help our cause if 
Minnesota does well, since it would give us another quality win (right 
now we only have one) and would make our loss to them look not so bad. 
Minnesota isn't standing in the way of an NU tournament berth; our own 
schedule is.

Of course, the only thing that really needs to happen is that NU wins 
out. Take care of that (plus a win or two in the conference tournament) 
and there is still a proper chance.
