Minnesota at Ohio State

These teams have taken very different paths to get to this game. Minnesota has already handled the second and third seeds in this tournament. Why not the #1 seed? Ohio State has struggled to make it to this game. They needed a hail mary buzzer beater to beat Michigan and double-overtime to dispatch of Illinois. Their confidence can't be peaking right now. But Minnesota's has to be sky-high. The Gophers have won four straight SU and ATS with the last game the most impressive as they beat Purdue by 27 points as an underdog. Over their last nine games this team has gone 8-1 ATS. Now that's peaking. Ohio State has been great at home this season (17-1) but on the road they have lost six games and they own an under-.500 ATS mark. Minnesota is at their best after a big win, going 9-2 ATS after a 15+ point win.
