Looking for a Land of Lincoln Sweep:
Minnesota (7-4) travels to Northwestern (3-8) to take on the puzzlement that is the Wildcats. Northwestern, ranked early in the B1G season, sports wins over Nebraska and Ohio State. But the losses have piled up. In their last victory at Illinois (1-10), Deary, Inman and Lyon played 40 minutes and Coffey played 39 in order to defeat a depleted Illini team.
As we saw earlier in Minneapolis, Northwestern can score a ton of points. The Wildcats erased a 14 point third quarter deficit to tie the game at 66. Minnesota was able to wrangle out a 95-92 victory.
A Super Bowl Tradition: Last season, Northwestern also hosted the Gophers on Super Bowl Sunday. And if the easy win for Wildcats wasn’t punishment enough, Gophers were snowed in an extra day in Evanston.
The Wildcats (3-8):
B1G Wins: Nebraska (65-62), Ohio State (88-82), @ Illinois (69-59)
B1G Losses: @Penn State (65-62), Purdue (85-71), @ Michigan State (74-51), @Maryland (80-62), @Minnesota (95-92), Indiana (91-84), @Ohio State (76-73), Iowa (79-64)
Probable Starters
F Nia Coffey 21.9 points/B1G game
G Maggie Lyon 16.9
G Christen Inman 15.1
G Ashley Deary 10.6
Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah 3.3
