Last minute decision for me. Minny is on a roll and has had great dicipline day in and out throughout this tourney. Tubby has them believing. My first lean is a teaser, Minny +9 and under 135....though my under Sat tanked when OSO/ILL went into OT.

Think Minny +9 and over 125 is the best tease as both teams can score.

This seems to be the toughest of the 4.........

.........O.St's only loss in the last 10 was to Purdue

we all saw what the Gophers did to them

sleepin on it 'til tom'........good night fellow gamblers!!

WHO KNOWS

Ohio St - 67                        Minnesota - 64

Gophers +3.5                 over 130

Tubby's Gophers trying to play their way into the Big Dance, should leave everything they have on the court today. It wouldn't surprise me if they win this one SU. I'll take the 3.5 and the Gophers.

OHIO ST. -4 is the systems play from OW!

I personal systemed the game at-  69 Minn v 67 OSU

AM I CRAZY!!!???

Buckeyes don't play to blow teams out, I like the Gophers because Ohio State will let them hang close enough to lose the game straight up. I'll be shocked if Ohio State wins and covers.

Minnesota +4

Minnesota ML +160

I like Minnesota in this spot.  (The Colonel's got it right... Gophers' on the bubble and deserate.)  Tubby's squad 8-1 ATS L9 and definitely the hungrier team right now.

Meanwhile, it's been no cakewalk for Ohio State in this tourney... needing a buzzer-beating 3-pointer and 2OT to get here... and (even without Boilers' Hummel on the court) yesterday's 27-pt pounding of Purdue sure got my attention... and don't see a let-down in this one. 

This season, Gophers 8-2 ATS off a win of 20+ pts.

Minnesota +4
