Take #735 Minnesota over San Francisco
(NCAAB) Minnesota vs. San Francisco,
Point Spread: 4.50 | -105.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Loss
Minnesota will go for its third victory in a row when it visits San Francisco for its first road game in a nonconference matchup Sunday night. The Golden Gophers (4-1) are coming off back-to-back wins over South Carolina Upstate and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Their only loss this season has come against Missouri. San Francisco (4-2) also has earned two straight victories. The Dons, whose losses have come against Boise State and Grand Canyon, are coming off wins against DePaul and Purdue Fort Wayne. Dawson Garcia leads Minnesota with 18.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Five others are averaging at least eight points a game, including Joshua Ola-Joseph (9.8), Cam Christie (9.8) and Isaiah Ihnen (9.4). Christie has earned playing time at point guard despite his status as a true freshman. Elijah Hawkins and Mike Mitchell Jr. also have proved capable at point guard, giving coach Ben Johnson plenty of options. We will actually rollwith Minnesota here as they are on a great streak, and we think they keep it rolling here on Sunday.
