Minnesota vs Penn State Free Pick January 15, 2018
I bet against the Gophers in their last game, and they lost by a whopping 34 points at home versus Purdue. Here is what I had to say prior to tip off: “The Gophers are coming off a home loss to Indiana, and they have lost two of three on the road so far. The Wildcats have won five of the last seven in this series, and they won their last home game against Minnesota by a whopping 24 points. The Gophers will miss two starters tonight, with guard Amir Coffey and center Reggie Lynch both out indefinitely. The pair have averaged over 24 points and 12 rebounds per game combined this season.” Granted that Penn State is a step down in competition from their previous two games against Northwestern and Purdue, the Gophers haven’t shown any evidence that they can compete in the BIG10 with their current roster. Since the injury to Coffey, they have averaged less than 60 points per game. The total for tonight’s game looks a little high, it’s in fact higher than it was in any of the previous 10 meetings between these two schools. Penn State has failed to reach the total in nine of it’s last 11 home games, while the Gophers have gone under in five straight overall.
Take UNDER.
