huskeraddict Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 January 20, 2015 7:30pm CT - BTN Pinnacle Bank Arena - Lincoln, NE Minnesota Golden Gophers 12-7, 1-5 (Last: 89-80 W vs Rutgers) vs Nebraska Cornhuskers 10-7, 2-3 (Last: 70-55 L vs Wisconsin) Big Ten Standings Maryland 5-1, 17-2 Wisconsin 4-1, 16-2 Indiana 4-1, 14-4 Iowa 4-1, 13-5 Michigan 4-2, 11-7 Michigan State 3-2, 12-6 Purdue 3-2, 11-7 Ohio State 3-3, 14-5 Nebraska 2-3, 10-7 Illinois 2-4, 12-7 Rutgers 2-4, 10-9 Northwestern 1-4, 10-8 Minnesota 1-5, 12-7 Penn State 0-5, 12-6 Head Coaches Minnesota Richard Pitino (55-34, 37-20 at Minnesota) Nebraska Tim Miles (327-258, 44-38 at Nebraska) Injury Report Minnesota F - Gaston Diedhiou - Leg - Out indefinitely Nebraska No injuries to report Scouting Minnesota Second-year Coach Richard Pitino brings the Golden Gophers into Lincoln with a 12-7 mark, including 1-5 in Big Ten play. Pitino, who coached at Florida International for a season before taking the Minnesota job, guided the Golden Gophers to a 25-13 record and the NIT title in 2013-14. Minnesota, which returned four starters from last year, went 11-2 in non-conference action with the only losses coming at St. John’s in preseason NIT and against Louisville. Minnesota has struggled at times in Big Ten action, dropping its first five games before earning an 89-80 win over Rutgers on Saturday afternoon. Minnesota has been in nearly every game, dropping four of its five games by five points or less, including a two-point overtime loss to Ohio State and a two-point loss against Iowa. Minnesota thrives on its defense, as the Gophers average a Big Ten-leading 11.1 steals per game and force nearly 19 turnovers per game. Senior Andre Hollins averages 13.4 points per game and has a team-high 47 3-pointers. He is one of four Gophers in double figures while two other players average at least nine points per contest. 2 Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Huge game. Minnesota is a very talented team who is basically up against a wall right now. They are not a basement team talent wise, so this wont be easy. They play very "in your face" defense that could give us fits. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirts007 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Mn has been unlucky but could just have easily been 5-1 in conference right now. This game will be tough. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have not been wrong much with my NU basketball picks. Huskers 71 Gophers 59 This one is close for about the first 3 minutes...Gophers shot their wad the other night...give up the 2 points and enjoy your money. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 71 points is an awful lot for a team that hasn't surpassed 70 just once in the past 9 games and not a single time since conference play started. Quote Link to comment
