Just think, if not to Wisconsins triumph on a Minneapolis gridiron last weekend, we just might have gotten to watch Clemson and Minnesota proceed at it. For now, we will need to be satisfied with the Tigers and also Golden Gophers meeting Monday night.

The troops of richard Pitino may also be minus a contributor with guard Payton Willis. The Vanderbilt transfer is third on the team averaging nearly 13 PPG, but abandoned the game with a leg injury.
That contest was a loss in the home to DePaul, the Golden Gophers -4 about the NCAA basketball probability board and trailing much of the match in a 73-68 final.
