Minnesota (18-2, 12-0) is sitting comfortably atop the Big Ten and has plenty of breathing room as the rest of the top teams have taken turns knocking off each other. The No. 3 Gophers will only face two of the other four Big Ten teams ranked in the Top 10 down the homestretch. Wednesday night against No. 5 Wisconsin is one of those matchups. Minnesota will take on the Badgers Wednesday night in Madison at 8:00 on BTN. Saturday at 7:00 they’ll faceoff against Michigan State on BTN.
Minnesota has been workmanlike as they’ve picked up one conference win after another.
