The Penn State Nittany Lions and the Minnesota Golden Gophers take the court of the United Center in Chicago on Wednesday night in Big Ten Conference action. The NCAA basketball board shows PSU as a -2.5 to -3 favorite over MINN with the total line offered up at consensus line of 135-points.

<p>
The Nittany Lions enter this game fresh off a 72-56 beat down of the Illini last Saturday easily covering the -8 betting line. PSU is currently on a 5-1 run straight up and against the spread including three straight road wins and covers. The 128 combined points scored in their last game fell well short of the 146 total line for their third consecutive UNDER after a run of six straight OVERS.

The Golden Gophers come into this game on the heels of 69-60 loss to the Terrapin as +7 underdog. The loss broke off a two-game win streak both SU and ATS for Minnesota. The 129 points put on the board by these two squads had UNDER bettors cashing their tickets for the fourth time in the Gophers last five games and eight in their previous ten.
