The Golden Gophers have yet to lose a game at home this season. They are coming off a huge win over Michigan at home and have had a week to rest for this game. Maryland doesn't match up well with Liam Robbins and this will allow the Gophers to open up the floor even more with Maryland’s defense allowing 46.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc in their last three games. Minnesota will control this game on both the offensive and defensive ends and come away with the cover at home.

Play on Minnesota.
