Tonight will be the 4th game out of five where the Gophers are facing a team below them in the standings. The first three were losses (Penn State, Maryland and Washington). Can Niko Medved’s squad reverse this trend of losing to teams that are winning fewer games?
You may recall last year when the Gophers shocked the ranked Ducks for one of the more exciting wins under Ben Johnson.
The Ducks have fallen on some hard times since then and
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN

Stop Nate Bittle – Bittle is the West Coast version of Northwestern’s Nick Martinelli. When he is rolling and scoring points, Oregon has been competitive. When he is held in check, they tend to lose. Stopping Washington’s Hannes Steinbach was a key on Saturday…that didn’t go well. Slowing down Bittle is important again.

Find your offensive comfort zone – The offense has stagnated a bit. Perhaps it is because Jaylen Crocker-Johnson wasn’t playing in the last game, maybe it was because we were broke from three or maybe they are just getting worn out. But getting back to cutting and working as a unit to get assisted layups is what we do best.

Make some shots – Obvious…I know. But we cannot go 7/28 from three and expect to win. Make a few shots and the weak Oregon defense opens up.
PREDICTION
It seems unlikely that Crocker-Johnson is playing again tonight, so the iron 6 plus Max Gizzi are going to have to get it done tonight on their own. I just can’t see a win with this group, even against Oregon.
Minnesota – 69
Oregon – 74
