Schule's NCAAB "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" *BLOCKBUSTER*
(NCAAB) Purdue vs. Minnesota, 01/27/2016 4:00 PM, Score: 68 - 64
Point Spread: 14.50 | -105.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Minnesota Golden Gophers.


The Golden Gophers have lost nine straight, and a 10th consecutive loss seems probable tonight. They host #21 ranked Purdue, and they will be a double digit home dog. While the losses have piled up, it's not as if Minnesota hasn't been competitive. The Gopher's last three losses have all come in close games, losing by five points to Illinois and Michigan, and by just seven points at home to Indiana. "It's tough," said coach Richard Pitino. "You're working hard. You're playing hard. You want to win. And you're just not finding a way to do it." These teams have a history of playing close games, with each of the last four meetings decided by four points or less. The Boiler Makers will be short-handed, with forward Caleb Swanigan nursing a sprained ankle, and Vince Edwards trying to shake off a head injury. Both players may still see action, but guard Kendall Stephens will sit out a second straight game due to personal reasons. I think the Boilers Makers are being asked to cover a few too many points against a BIG10 rival on the road.

Take MINN.
