Michigan State at Minnesota

Michigan State is 7-5 UNDER and Minnesota is 7-4 UNDER this season as both teams are holding opponents to less than 40 percent from the floor.

Oakland was held to a .368 shooting percentage and 8-of-24 from three-point range and its leading scorer in the game, Stevie Clark, scored only 13 points. Richard Pitino appears to finally have turned things around at Minnesota as the Golden Gophers are off to a 12-1 start with their only loss at Florida State. Minnesota is giving up only 64.7 points per game compared to 68.5 for Michigan State. Fourteen of the last 19 meetings have gone UNDER, including five of the last six in Minnesota.
