Preview: The 22nd-ranked Gophers (8-1) face Eastern Kentucky (5-4) on Saturday at Williams Arena. The show will go on despite the snow, according to Gophers officials.
The Gophers will win because ... Devoe Joseph looks like the All-Big Ten tourney player who led the Gophers to the conference tourney title game and Trevor Mbakwe has earned national recognition for his post production. And unlike Wednesday's challenge at St. Joseph's, they get to play at home.
The Gophers will lose because ... Eastern Kentucky has hit 40 percent of its three-point attempts and the Gophers have the worst three-point field goal percentage defense in the Big Ten (37.7 percent).
