ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Minnesota is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. They have a record of 14-15 and are ranked 74th overall (out of 357) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #12 team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 42.1).

Minnesota will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 63rd in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Minnesota has done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 32nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 53.6% of their attempts from close-up. Minnesota has also had some success this season preventing opponents from converting many of their overall field goal attempts. The team ranks #60 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 41.0% of their total attempts from the floor. If Minnesota does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 15.64 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 26th-worst in college hoops.

Minnesota plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 91st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 105 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Minnesota does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.25 vs. AO, they are ranked eighth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-75 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.3% of their attempts. Minnesota has also established itself as a team that cleans the offensive glass quite well. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 16.34 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 36th in the NCAA). If Minnesota does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 30.0% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 29th-worst in the nation.

On the road, Minnesota performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 345th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
