5* Total No Brainer on Minnesota/Northwestern UNDER 133

Two teams square off in the Big Ten on Sunday who have been excellent on the defensive end of the floor this year. Northwestern is allowing opponents who score 68.5 ppg to only put up 61.8 against them. Teams are shooting just 41.3% from the floor compared to their season average of 43.7%.



Minnesota is no slouch either as they allow just 59.8 ppg against teams who score 69.4. Opponents are shooting only 38.1% against them compared to their season average of 44.6%.



Neither one of these two teams turn the ball over very often, so that is going to limit easy buckets in transition. The Gophers have been a solid rebounding team but the Wildcats do a good job of keeping their opponents off the offensive glass.



Michigan put up 94 points against Northwestern on Thursday night, but that isn't going to happen in back-to-back outings as the Wolverines shot 60% from the floor. Minnesota is coming off a win over Michigan State back on New Year's Eve and might be a little rusty after the long layoff. They scored 76 in that game but had to shoot 56.6% from the floor in order to do so.



The oddsmakers are over-adjusting for what happened last game and I'll gladly take the UNDER here today.
