The Badgers have won nine straight meetings and 18 of the past 20. They just won at Michigan, a monumental achievement. But now they have to quickly re-focus for a huge rivalry game at improving Minnesota. The Gophers, who are 9-1 at home, had their five-game win streak snapped in an OT loss to USC. But I like Niko Medved's team, which had an extra day of rest, to possibly pull the upset -- as long as Minnesota avoids serious foul trouble. The Gophers lead the nation in assist rate and allow the third-fewest points (66.1) in the Big Ten.
