DePaul and Minnesota, two bottom-of-the-barrel Power Five teams, go head-to-head in the Gavitt Games. Minnesota has a plethora of injuries at the moment. Jamison Battle is likely out yet again for the Golden Gophers, while Nick Ongenda is possibly out for the Blue Demons. Minnesota is more impacted by the Battle injury than DePaul. Even still, Minnesota has hauled in an average of 39 boards per game in each of their two outings. DePaul is averaging 35.5, so there is a small edge to the Gophers here at home.
Minnesota had a scare in its first game, beating Western Michigan by one point. DePaul had a couple duels between Loyola Maryland and Western Illinois, but they ended up pulling away in both.
Both of these teams have a tendency to turn the ball over. DePaul ranks 180th in the NCAA in turnover percentage through two games, while Minnesota comes into this game at 276th.
Expect this game to be a little hectic while these two teams find themselves. Minnesota playing at home with the rebounding advantage should give them enough of a leg up on the competition, paired with their ability to get to the free throw line and to slow the pace of the game.
