Illinois vs Minnesota Game Preview

Why Illinois Will Win

The Illini defense is playing well.

Wisconsin was able to rumble at will, and Rutgers ran for 230 yards, but overall, Illinois is able to keep scores low and games close with its style. It hasn’t allowed more than 24 points since the loss to Virginia six games ago and in Big Ten play.

Minnesota’s running back situation is sadly ridiculous with injuries. The offensive line is great, the ground game is working no matter what, but the team is scrambling for any backs who can handle the job now.

This isn’t a Minnesota team that’s going to throw 50 on the board. Keep it close, grind it out, how to get the right turnovers at the right times – Illinois can do that.

But …

Why Minnesota Will Win

If the Minnesota running game works, forget it.

Yeah, the Gopher running back depth chart has ben decimated, but the blocking is there, the style doesn’t change, and freshman Mar’Keise Irving has been the Next Back Up with 225 yards and three touchdowns over the last two weeks.

Even with the injury issues, the Gophers are getting better and better on the ground, hammering Maryland for 326 yards and Northwestern for 308.

Illinois is 0-3 when giving up over 200 rushing yards, but it’s going to come down to …

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers. Illinois has to have them.

It hasn’t come away with one in either of the past two weeks – which was crazy that it beat Penn State despite being -3 in turnover margin – but it forced two in five straight games before that.

Minnesota lost to Bowling Green because of three giveaways – and because it  just never got off the bus – but it doesn’t have a big turnover issue.

This will get mucky, and there won’t be anything aesthetically pleasing about this, but the Gophers will run through the Illinois D just enough to control the game and hold on late.

Why Illinois Will Win

Minnesota got annihilated by the Illini in the first meeting back in mid-December after getting destroyed on the boards.

Illinois came up with 49 rebounds, Minnesota couldn’t shoot, and the result was a 92-65 win – but that’s Illinois. It’s great at owning the rebounding margin, the offense is hitting from the outside on a consistent basis, and the team is moving the ball around as well as anyone in the Big Ten.

Minnesota is dead last in the Big Ten in rebounding margin, it’s not consistent enough from the outside, and it’s not making what it’s taking – the Gophers have been under 30% from three in each of the last four games and eight of the last ten.

However …

Why Minnesota Will Win

Illinois might be gettable on the road.

The team is fantastic, and it’s on a six-game winning streak, but the good road win is against …

Indiana in overtime? The Illini are 5-3 away from Champaign, and it took overtime to get past a bad Nebraska as well as IU. Beating Northwestern in Evanston is no big whoop, and taking down Duke this year doesn’t matter.

So what’s the issue? For whatever reason, Illinois isn’t missing lately at home, and it’s not quite at the same level on the road. It’s not just shooting background – it’s okay from three no matter where it is – but it just hasn’t been as sharp.

On the flip side, in general, Minnesota’s problems are on the road – going 0-8 this year – but it’s been able to own The Barn, and that includes a win over Michigan.

What’s Going To Happen

Minnesota will hit the free throws that Illinois won’t.

Illinois is the far better team, but the Gophers will get a bit of a groove back after losing two straight on the road in a fun, tight game that will come down to the final moments.
