At least I guessed our points right, was expecting a little more effort on defense, but nonetheless a win and a cover of the spread which will boost the team in metrics.
Lot to clean up next game vs Western Illinois (who is the second worst team in the country via KenPom)
Replying to @GopherCrew
Likely the least talented roster we will play all year, their top 2 scorers right now are bench players last year from Tennessee Tech and Tarleton State respectively.
I have Minnesota winning 91-48

Lot of value tonight on #Gophers -25.5 against Southern.
Did a deep dive on their team:
They rank 360th in turnovers averaging 22.8 per game (That’s a lot)
They give up over 11 offensive rebounds per game
They allow teams to shoot 48% from the field

Minnesota also currently has the 5th best resume in the country as of earlier today.
#Gophers start a 6 game streak of P5 opponents beginning next Friday, this is where we find out who this team truly is. Should be 5-0 going into the Oklahoma St. game.
3-3 or 4-2 is ideal, 2-4 would make me a little less optimistic.

This is the first time Minnesota has won their road opener since 2021 against Pittsburgh, which was also a game winning shot.

Good chance Minnesota jumps into the top 30 of KenPom once it updates.
North Dakota also gave Clemson a battle tonight which will help too.

Most deserved win we have ever had, would have been a much easier win if the NCAA didn’t hate Minnesota.
This announcer is one of the worst I have ever heard, also that is a clear blocking foul.

It’s a shame Minnesota doesn’t have a 5th year senior in this game that could completely change the sloppiness of the offense
Pretty mediocre half and still tied, need more ball movement and cutters if Minnesota wants to win this game

People acting like this matters, we would lose to Iowa if they had Kevin Hart as their quarterback
NEW: Iowa will start QB Jeremy Hecklinski over Hank Brown against Minnesota, Kirk Ferentz announced.
