Green Bay vs Minnesota Prediction
I’ll just stick with Minnesota. The Gophers need a good bounce-back effort after their loss to Missouri this week though, and this is a solid spot to get it. Minnesota didn’t shoot too badly in that one (42.6 percent) and had a 31-24 rebounding edge. Trouble is, the Gophers also gave up 59.2 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent (11-of-22) from 3-point range to the Tigers. So long as Minnesota can focus on high-percentage shots and stay strong up front the Gophers should be able to control this one from front to back.
