#6 Minnesota +3.5 vs #1 tOSU (ov/un 130.5) Big Ten Championship, Sun 3:30 ET CBS

[BB73]

The now-on-the-bubble Golden Gophers take on the Buckeyes for the Tournament crown.

Hope the bucks can win this one. But i can see the gophers winning this one putting it all on the line for the auto bid. Go bucks, dont get hurt. Play smart.

Funny that some SEC bubble teams will be rooting FOR Ohio State for once.

Well, well, well...How the turn tables. - Michael Scott

I think Minnesota has played their way in at this point. They're off the bubble IMO.

The combination of lack of depth and a double OT game fatigue could really be a factor in this game.

Which may even out with Minnesota playing their 4th straight game.

First key to the game: Score more points.

Second key to the game: Cover Hoffarber!!

With the much-improved play of Iverson, Minny has two bigs that can score in the post, and they can play a hi-lo game.

It will be interesting to see how much each team plays 2 bigs at once - I don't think Matta will do much of it, but the Buckeyes could have problems defending the inside. Hopefully Madsen can play as well as he did against Illinois - he was very solid today.

Minnesota is playing awfully good, and were sticking around with teams we shouldn't be.... I figure it's because it's these teams last gasp at a tourney bid but still....

This time of year every team still in the mix will make it interesting. OSU will beat Minnesota down in this game. Mark my words. They are still getting back into a rhythm after the layoff, and they have faced two very hungry squads in the past two days. Minnesota's win over Purdue was nice, but Purdue will not make it out of the first weekend in the tourney, IMHO.

Oh how I would love for the Bucks to beat down Minny... I don't expect that to happen, though.

If it makes you feel better, I haven't seen one game in it's entirety of the Big Ten Tournament. I saw the end of the Buckeyes game this afternoon. (on my lunch break of course, yes.. I came home to watch the game LOL)
