Tough break for Minny. Our guys still have to be mentally tough and play like the MN starters are in the game. We really need this win, especially on the road.

We better give them the work from whistle to whistle.

Win by 20+ if we do what we do

Wonder how close to cancelling this is, one or two more out, probably would have had to

That's 3 of their top 4 scorers.
3 bigs on the roster from what I can tell, Charlie Daniels 6'9 230, averages 12 minutes a game through 15 games, Treyton Thompson, Fr. 7'0 210, 27 minutes played on the season, Danny Ogele 6'7 220, 18 minutes played on the season, Go inside all game and often.

Why do I feel it won’t be easy? They have a 7’0” freshman who I saw about a week ago who played hard and scored maybe 8 points. He battled inside so Cliff …stay out of foul trouble. I have a feeling they will attempt to go inside to get those ticky tack fouls.

Potential huge opportunity with 3 of their 4 scorers out. Still need to start well and watch the fouls. Minnesota doesn't turn the ball over a lot. But, we should own the rebounding today. Hopefully, our defense travels today.

In a way this puts more pressure on Rutgers to avert the Cinderella outcome.

Curry, Battle, and Stephens account for 38.7 of Minnesota's 69.7 ppg (55.5%), and 17.9 of their 32.7 rbs (54.7%).

They've also had only 4 guys make a three this year, and will be missing 2 of them.

Minnesota fans knew they don't have the horses this year and were happy for the 10-1 start but knew they were finishing at the bottom. They would prefer knowing they have a bad team and finishing there, than having mid pack talent and finishing at the bottom, underacheiving.

Good news is that they're missing key players in a short rotation and will be scrambling. Bad news is that we have basically no film on the guys who will be playing like 40-50% of the minutes and will largely be in a "base" defensive package that hasn't really been scouted.
