Minnesota vs Penn State Game Preview, Big Ten Tournament


Why Minnesota Will Win

The Penn State defense isn’t great, and it’s not helping itself by forcing mistakes.

It beat Minnesota in mid-February because the defense was fantastic overall, but it’s not because it forced a ton of turnovers. When the Gophers won the week before, they turned it over just three times.
