Free Betting Pick: Minnesota Golden Gophers -1
The Minnesota Golden Gophers have a major advantage down low with Murphy and Oturu and given their recent hard-fought loss they know they need to come out strong on the road. Rutgers just doesn’t have enough talent to compete with the rest of the Big Ten this season, and Minnesota still has a chance to obtain an at-large bid. Minnesota wins and covers, 69-65.
