Penn's Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths: Battle, Cornley, Pringle
Weaknesses: Short bench
Minnesota needs to play strong, team defensive, get the ball into the bigs, make their outside shots and REBOUND.
Tubby's substitution pattern might be to the Gophers favor if everyone plays well. Nolen needs to be healthy (or someone --Joseph? Payton?--needs to pick up the slack WITHOUT a ton of TO's).
Johnson MUST have a good game (especially on defense, offensive rebounding and scoring).
Gophers should win but it will be a "battle" to be sure.
