BTN: Best potential Thursday matchup: No. 11 Minnesota vs. No. 6 Ohio State

per Dienhart:

Best potential Thursday matchup: No. 11 Minnesota vs. No. 6 Ohio State. The Buckeyes won the lone meeting this season, taking a 74-72 overtime decision in Williams Arena on Jan. 6. The Golden Gophers have been a disappointment, going 6-12 in Big Ten play after winning the NIT last season. Minnesota will arrive in Chicago slumping, having lost five of six games. But the one win was in overtime at Michigan State, showing this team’s potential. So, if the Gophers get by No. 14 Rutgers on Wednesday in the opening day of action, Minnesota will take on an Ohio State team in what could be an interesting and fun clash.

per The Gazette:

5. Upset alert: No. 11 Minnesota vs. No. 6 Ohio State. The Gophers play 14th-seeded Rutgers to open their tourney, and the winner (let’s say Minnesota) faces the Buckeyes around 8 p.m. Thursday. The teams played just once, and the Buckeyes won 74-72 in overtime at Williams Arena. Minnesota has underachieved and lost five of its last six. But with veterans Andre Hollins and Maurice Walker, the Gophers are capable of pulling a stunner.
