A brutal early schedule as the Gophers on a 3-game losing streak. Can they get back into the win column with Iowa at The Barn?
Iowa
Mascot: Hawkeyes
Record: 12-4
KenPom Rank: 20
Iowa brings a highly efficient offense with a mediocre defense, can the Gophers slow them down enough to end their losing streak?
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Uncharacteristic rebounding - Iowa is great at offensive rebounding and they suck at defensive rebounding (279th nationally). Can the Gophers, who are the worst offensive rebounding team in the country, get some additional offensive opportunities with some offensive boards?
