Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
While Minnesota has had a nice run towards the end of the year, they are not a team that I would trust yet. Even after winning their last two road games, they are still only 5-6 on the road. Minnesota does have some flashes of brilliance on the road as shown in their win against Indiana, but they are still an under .500 road team.
Home-court advantage is huge in college basketball, and Middle Tennessee definatly has it when they play. MTSU is 15-1 at home this year. Their one loss was in double overtime against the Belmont Bruins, a loss which they later avanged on Decmber 13th. MTSU has beaten teams.
This should be a good game, but I believe that MTSU will get their victory and move on to the next round of the NIT.
