The Gophers have lost 9 in a row, can they avoid a double-digit losing streak?
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Score more points than Illinois - Maybe we need to simplify things. Maybe this means holding them to fewer points, maybe it means just scoring a bunch of points. But the key to winning is to have the most points.
Shoot well from three - Interesting that in the first matchup the Gophers didn’t really turn the ball over, but they shot 23% from three.
