Can the Gophers start the Big Ten season with a huge upset over the Buckeyes?
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Stop Bruce Thornton - The Buckeyes guard is averaging over 18 points per game and is often hitting 25. He’s also hitting 41% from three. He needs to be kept in check.
Play physical - Get physical and let Pharrel Payne dominate the paint.
No turnovers - When we don’t turn it over, we make more shots and look much better.
