Northwestern is edging closer to the NCAAs

The bracket project currently collects predictions from 44 different bracketologists. These data show that NU is the second team out while the Gophers are the third team out.

That would suggest tonight's game is a meeting of equals. However this doesn't reconcile with the fact that Minnesota is a dozen point favorite tonight is anyone's guess.

What does this portend for tonight's game? When in doubt go with the peeps who have skin in the game.
