Minnesota at St. Johns (-1) 7:00 ET ESPN
Free 2* Game - Minnesota (-1)
Fifth year St. Johns' HC Lavin has hardly steeled his Red Storm for the onslaught of this Big 10 visitor tonight. The Johnnies are a middle of the pack Big East team, who has yet been challenged in 3 warmup games. Remember, this is a team that was eliminated in the first round of the NIT last year, an event won by this Golden Gopher team. Gophers have already been steeled this season in their opening night game against Louisville. Do you like comparative scores? St. Johns beat Franklin Pierce (94-81) at home; Minnesota defeated that same team (109-57). The better team gets this victory.
