Less than two weeks after blowing out Minnesota at Allstate Arena, Northwestern will look to complete a season sweep of the Gophers with a win in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats (12-9, 3-5 Big Ten) are coming off a much-needed win over Penn State on Saturday. Meanwhile, Minnesota (14-8, 3-6) has really struggled since losing Reggie Lynch to suspension, losing five of six without the 2016-17 Big Ten DPOY. The Gophers did get sophomore wing Amir Coffey back after a shoulder injury kept him out for five games; Coffey scored 11 points in 35 minutes in the Gophers’ loss to Ohio State on Saturday.
