	FG%	D. FG%	3P%	D. 3P%	FT%	RPG	SPG	APG
Minnesota	47.2	38.4	37.3	30.7	70.0	39.4	9.0	16.4
Northwestern	44.9	40.1	38.3	36.1	64.7	34.6	7.4	15.6

Minnesota has looked great in conference play this season—they lost their opener to Michigan State and then took down Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State, and Wisconsin.

Northwestern, on the other hand, lost to Penn State by four, Michigan State by 11, Wisconsin by 29, and Purdue by two. Purdue is on the slide, though, while Minnesota is on their way up.

I think that Tubby Smith is going to have the Golden Gophers ready for any challenge presented by the Wildcats and that they're going to win by more than one.

Pick: Minnesota -1.5
