The good: They play a tough defense that frustrates opponents. They like to turn the game into a sloppy game that keeps the good opponents close which gives Minnesota a chance to win at the end of the game.

The bad: Not a good rebounding team. Can't handle a fast paced game. Terrible record against the field. Lost to Florida St. at home (the ACC's worst). Exhibit A as to why people are saying the Big 10 is having a down year.
