The first game for the Gophers under new coach P.J. Fleck is Thursday night, with his team a favorite over Buffalo from the Mid-America Conference. This looks to be the easiest game on Minnesota's schedule, but there's still enough uncertainty to make it an interesting opening night.

Guide to the game:

Kickoff: 6 p.m. TV: Big Ten Network. Radio: 107.9 FM., 1130 AM, Gopher Radio Network
