Minnesota vs. Louisville

A 1-6 run in a seven-game stretch made it look like the Minnesota Gophers were going to be NIT bound. A pair of wins vs. a good Purdue team late in the season helped punch their ticket to the Big Dance. This team struggles at times on the defensive end and allowed 68 points or more to all but one of their last eight opponents. Louisville went through a four-game stretch late in the season that saw them score 59 or fewer points in all four but they have since turned things up a notch to average over 70 points per game in their last four. I think both of these teams can score better than their season averages. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
