Northwestern (12-3, 1-1 Big Ten) faces a crucial test in its Big Ten home opener, hosting the talented Minnesota Golden Gophers (13-2, 1-1 Big Ten). Richard Pitino’s team navigated its non-conference schedule well, with its only loss coming to Top-25 Florida State in Tallahassee. The Golden Gophers have split their first two conference games, losing in overtime to Michigan State before going on the road to take down Purdue in very impressive fashion.
