Models project 146. Minnesota is an average team, but ARPB is still outmatched in every area. The one edge the Lions might have is they take a lot of outside shots, with a 45% 3-pt rate. However, the Gophers match up well, as they only allow opponents a 31.6% 3-pt rate (#65 nationally). This also fits a system play: In non-conference games with a big spread (6+ possessions, aka 16+ points) and high total (145+ points), the under hits 54.7% of the time for a 5.3% ROI.
My simulations make this total 148. I'm on the Under thanks to a strong defensive effort from Minnesota.
