Minnesota at Nebraska

At 8-1, the Minnesota Golden Gophers look like a team ready to step up and contend in the Big-10 Conference this season. They have already won a tough road game at Providence, and have a neutral-court win vs. Alabama. Thy will open conference play tonight on the road at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers at 6-3 are looking for a significant win ad should bring a lot of intensity to tis game, which usually transfers to the defensive end of the court. They have been much better doing so at home as they have allowed 82.5 points per game in their two true road games, but 70 or fewer in six of their other seven. Minnesota has only played one true road game all season, and I look for this one to play UNDER the total.
