Minnesota is extremely shorthanded with three or so starters out (Powell, Scalia, and another one I didn’t catch). Of course, they have juggled so many starters this season, it is hard to know if that will be a disadvantage in reality. It sounds like they are down some subs as well.
On the flip side, the Huskers are getting healthier.
Also, Wisconsin has fired their WBB coach after being embarrassed by Illinois in the #12/#13 play in game on Tuesday.
First Quarter
Minnesota opened the scoring on their first possession but the Huskers answered with an Issie Bourne layup to tie the game at 2-2.
