*10* MONEY MAKER on Minnesota.

The 4-2 Minnesota Golden Gophers will host the 4-1 Clemson Tigers on Monday, and the home team looks good in this spot at roughly even money. Minnesota is coming into this one hot, shooting 55 percent from beyond the arc in their last game, a win over Ohama. My money is on the Gophers at home.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Clemson hasn't had much success in recent games versus BIG10 teams, failing to cover in six of their last eight. The Tigers have also failed to cover in five of their last six versus a team with a winning record.

2. Home Cookin' - The Gophers have won all three of their home games so far this season, and the Tigers have failed to cover in four of their last five on the road.

3. X-Factor - Minnesota is shooting for a significantly higher percentage both from the free throw line, and from three-point range. The Tigers were just 5-of-19 from beyond the arc in their last game versus Rutgers.

Selection: This is a play on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (10*)
