The second half of December is not a strong one in terms of quality opponents. Arkansas State was an easy win for the Gophers and the follow that up with North Florida, who is better...but not by much. The Ospreys start five juniors without a senior on the roster, so maybe this is a year that springboards them to 2019-20. But this year the Gophers should have no problem with North Florida.
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Play with energy - Do not come out flat, do not walk on the court thinking this game is in hand before the tip.
