    Sad but probably true. The team just collapsed after losing Nolen. I'm not sure any team in the country can endure losing the first and second string point guards.

    Yep.
    Minny has blowed-up since losing key player Nolen, terrible spread run, and I also think the rumors coach Tubby is a goner has deflated them even further... NW always gives you the full effort.

    I think NW will win, but shying away because Tubby usually has had a lot of success in the B10 tourney. Gophers have lost 9 of their last 10, but had leads late in most of those games.

    the play in the past few games after the under 4 minute media timeout in the 2nd half has been as bad as Ive ever seen

    Minny will have a lead at halftime and cover first half spread. NW will get 2nd half cover.

    Rumors in MN are that Tubby is near signing an extension. Total speculation by the national media that he'll jump for GT or NC St.

    I like Northwestern here as well. Minnesota gave up on this season over a month ago.

    Have you watched Minnesota? When NW is hitting their 3s they can bury a decent team, and Minnesota is garbage. I've watched most BIG10 games this season. Even if NW struggles early I just don't see Minnesota scoring alot

    I agree. But why is NW only a 1 point favorite?

    That does bother me a little, and the fact that it's down from 1.5.

    59% of the public's on Minnesota, though, so I'm not too concerned.

    NW is always a big crap shoot, they heavily rely on the three. Mbakwe should have a field day but Minnesota seems to have lost any kind of heart. Then there is the Tubby factor.

    Tough call.

    Nearly identical records, both teams won by 11 on each other's home court where lines were -4 and -5 respectively -- I think this line makes sense.

    I know theres that one kid who stalks you about it, but really NC come on with the line movement man. Head to the market with that kind of "analysis"
