Minny was highly motivated for their last game and needed to win at home badly. Now just because a team needs a game, we all know that doesn't mean a win. They haven't won back to back Big 10 games since the second and third game of the season dating back to early January. Penn St came off of an easy win over NW, a tough 5pt loss to Wisc and a hard fought series sweeping win over Oh St.
Penn St has good guards and can offset the Gophers guard play. It's tough to beat a team three times, but it happens more than you think, see Gonzaga over St Mary's. I like this play today and think the Gophers go packing to the NIT when it's done.
