Result: Loss
Middle Tennessee State (12) vs Minnesota (5) 4:00 ET
Gophers (+) over Blue Raiders- Mid-Tenn St is supposed to be the 'best team you have never heard of' but most knowledgeable handicappers know exactly who the Blue Raiders are and now I'm afraid almost everyone understands how good they are! Think of it, the 12th seed is favored over the 5th seed. Is that the work of Las Vegas or the selection committee? Richard Pitino in his 4th year has done a great job with Minnesota and like other coached 'Pitino' teams they have gotten better as the season rolls on. The most popular trend now among the media is the 12 seed defeating the 5 seed. I am surprise the Gophers are seeded this high and the Blue Raiders this low. But, I'm siding with the Committee on this one. Take MINNESOTA!
