2/28 NCAA: Illinois at Minnesota

[swole]

Coming off a disappointing 80-74 loss in their last game, Minnesota has a chance to get on the winning track Tuesday at home.

The Golden Gophers look to avenge an earlier 77-53 loss at the hands of the Fighting Illini.

Minnesota gets its chance to prove the bookies wrong, who opened them as 3-point underdogs. They are 14-11, while the Fighting Illini are 23-5.

Bruce Weber's troops hosted Iowa last game and came away with a 71-59 win. Oddsmakers had them as 8 point favorites in that one.

Dan Monson's troops were at Wisconsin against the Badgers last game and came away with an 80-74 loss, where oddsmakers had them as 8.5-point underdogs.

Some trends to consider:
Illinois is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 away
Illinois is 2-5-0 OU in its last 7 games
Illinois is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 away games

BUT, since I was going to go all in, does that mean that you are going to give me the Karma anyway??????? ;-)
