northwestern +5.5
northwestern comes off an awful loss to wisconsin on sunday, a virtual guarantee that youll get a great effort tomorrow night if nothing else. minnesota pg nolan will be out and blake hoffarber (more of a 2 guard) will take over as the starter. the gophers short bench will be that much shorter. also think the "end game" scenario favors northwestern big time. gophers only shoot fts at 65% as a team, while northwestern shoots the 3 ball around 40%, making a late cover unlikely.
