Minnesota has been somewhat under the radar this season, but the Golden Gophers are 14-4 and they lost in overtime to Michigan on the road in the last meeting in February. The Gophers had a hard-fought 65-64 win over Penn State on Saturday and may have been looking ahead to this game as Jordan Murphy scored 19 points and grabbed an astounding 21 rebounds, including 15 on the defensive end. The Gophers bounced back from a bad loss at Illinois when the Illini shot the lights out, hitting 56 percent from the field. Michigan finally showed some vulnerability in its first loss of the season and Wisconsin made the Wolverines look bad in a 64-54 win. The Wolverines shot only 40.7 percent overall and 5-of-18 from three-point range while being outscored 39-27 in the second half. That doesn't bode well for laying double digits in this one, so grab the points with Minnesota.
