After losing to Michigan and Kansas State by 48 and 13 respectively, the Vikings are coming to The Barn feeling like this might be their chance to get a win over a P5 program. Can the Gophers hold them off?
Here’s how.
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Force turnovers – The Vikings are turning the ball over at a very high rate. The Gopher defense isn’t exactly clamping down on offenses, but a few turnovers might lead to easy baskets. And some easy baskets is exactly what this team needs right now.
Find a second scoring option – For the love of Pete, can we find someone else who is capable of scoring for this team? When Garcia scores 39.5% of your points, that is a significant problem.
Box out – Cleveland State hits the offensive glass hard and we have been rather poor at defensive rebounding. This could be a significant
PREDICTION
This is one of the easier matchups in the non-conference schedule. The Gophers win, but how ugly will it be?
Minnesota – 68
Cleveland St – 60
