People would think Gophers have an easy win, actually, that's all I've been hearing. But Frazier is more than dedicated, his only tournament appearance was in 2011, and they lost on basically a buzzer beater. Penn State could come away with an upset, but Frazier and Newbill have to be spot on along with contribution rebounding wise and less turnovers and also playing with double revenge fresh in their minds.
Penn State is a team that under-achieved for most of the year before finally playing like the team they are capable over the last 2 weeks of the season as they are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. A team with a winning % above .600.This game here is a rematch from last Sunday when Minnesota cruised to a 81-63 win as a 7 point home favorite. The Gophers had the hot hand as they shot 56% from the floor paving the way for them.

This game today will be played on a neutral and I expect them to shoot around 42-44% from the floor as it should be noted that Minnesota is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. Matching both of these teams up on paper, they are very even on both sides of the ball. I will look at this game as a same season double revenge game for Penn State and one they feel like they can win. Penn State has two guards by the name of DJ Newbill and Tim Frazier that lead this Penn State team. In tournament time, I love great backcourts and I have been high on these guys all year long. These guys are averaging 33 points and I expect a big effort this evening and a very tight game. Take the points with PENN ST on Thursday.
