This total is very high looking to me with a Big-10 team and the defensive nature of the conference, so it’s surprising to see this one in the 140s. Minnesota may not fit that form as well as other Big-10 teams, but it is still a team that has failed to get out of the 60s in 11 of their last 16 games, and 12 of 16 if you don't include overtime. The Musketeers played all three of their tourney games a year ago to the UNDER with no game totaling more than 136. On a neutral court, the Musketeers have also turned in a 10-3 mark to the UNDER in their last 13 and vs. Big-10 teams, they are 5-2 to the UNDER as well. The Golden Gophers have been slowed down by good teams where they are 9-4 to the UNDER vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. I'll ride with the UNDER in this one.
