Saturday, January 21: at Minnesota Golden Gophers

Perhaps the surprise of the Big Ten, if not the country, the Minnesota Golden Gophers have gone from the cellar of the conference a year ago to a prominent player to win the league. Mystery surrounded the Gophers after they entered conference play with just one-loss and questions lingered if it was just a product of their soft schedule or if they are actually for real.

After a one-point loss at home in overtime to start conference play to Michigan State, the Gophers have rattled off three straight impressive wins- which include road wins at Purdue and Northwestern.

Wisconsin will have Minnesota twice on their schedule with the other being a home game in the regular season finale. In order to keep pace with other teams in the conference, the Badgers are going to need to knock out upstart contenders. Buckle up folks.
