Two great things about this game. The first, is that this is a really solid test for the Gophers early in the season. Secondly, they are on TV and we get to watch them.

This is a game that does not favor Minnesota. KenPom has them as only 30% likely to win as this is a true road game against an NCAA team from a year ago returning all five of their starters.

KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
