I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here, because normally an NBA team should win far more games than a college team. But this year, I think it will be close. I'm emotionally invested in both of these disappointing teams, so these are difficult times.

I still see the Wolves as a .500 team after Rubio returns, so I think they still win 25 games...I know, not good for getting a top three pick, but I think reality. The only way they don't play .500 after Ricky comes back is if he is not close to 100%, or if the first 4 games of the year were a total mirage...I don't believe they were.

Since the Gophers will struggle to win 20, I'm voting Wolves.

I expected 25-30 wins from the wolves before the injuries. They're gonna be lucky to win 15-18 games total now.
The gophers always get to feed on a soft schedule before conference games start. Winnin some games against the bottom feeder in the big ten should help them get to 20 wins this year.
