Zach Pereles, a contributor over at Inside NU, graciously took some time to answer some questions I had about the upcoming matchup between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Northwestern Wildcats. Here is a summary of our correspondence:
TDG: Alright, so be honest, who had the Wildcats at 4-0 entering conference play over at Inside NU? Because from my point of view during STRONG DISLIKE WEEK, you guys have just been lucky...
Inside NU: To answer your question in a sentence: Absolutely no one. At Inside NU, and around the nation, the decision was picking between a 3-1 and a 2-2 non-conference slate, with Stanford being a loss, Eastern Illinois and Ball State being wins, and Duke being a toss up.
