THE ENEMY

This Season
9-6 (0-2). I'll be honest, I haven't watched much Penn State basketball (ok, any Penn State basketball) this season. So I'll just assume this is a traditional PSU team.
THE #TAKES
1) Gotta win this game. Minnesota is the better team. Period.
2) Seriously, winning this game is kind of important. If the Gophers want to be a NCAA team or even a bubble team then this is the sort of game they have to win.
3) I'm not kidding. Just win this one. First Big Ten road win of the Pitino era. Get it done.
