They are decent B1G team they will hold homecourt, but will struggle on the road in the B1G. Andre Hollins and Elliott Eliason are their two best players and will be a challenge. I would expect with Pitino Jr. as their coach they will extend a little pressure after baskets, but I think we should beat them due to our defense. Minnesota has shot 27 for 75 from 3 pt range and for them to beat us I think they will need to shoot in the 40% from 3 pt range. I still like Fair as the best player on the court so we should win by around 6 to 12 points IMO.

(as a lifelong minnesotan) I wouldn't say Eliason is one of the best players - that would be the two (unrelated) Hollins. Dre Hollins is really good, possibly best guard in B1G. And, yeah, Pitino jr is trying to do the same full-court helterskelter as his dad.
they have looked good so far against cupcakes (though they were losing to Richmond with 7 minutes left in the game) - but they have very little depth and are questionable in the front court - although I think they'll have a big guy in Mo Walker back for the game against SU (he's been out due to suspension)
