Minnesota is an odd team:
-- Beat Michigan, Oregon, @UCLA as well as @Nebraska
-- Yet lost at HOME to Penn St, a depleted NW, and Washington
-- Have a GREAT assist to turnover ratio at 1.5 (I mean that is really good) - each of their 7 players with the most minutes have more assists than turnovers ... which is unusually good.
-- Yet despite a terrific assist to turnover ratio PLUS assisting on an average of 60% of their made FG tries (RU is at 48%), still shoot a relatively poor 44% FG as a team. They do shoot 51% from 2-point range - RU shoots 50.8% from 2 point range, FYI.
-- Minny is a very poor FT shooting team, generally (like RU last year) - at 66% overall ... this despite their top 2 players in attempts are over 75% (Garcia and Patterson).
-- Like RU, they are star driven - in their case one major star in an outstanding Garcia ... plus they have one other consistent scorer averaging 12 ppg in Patterson
Just 2 teams with strange sets of inconsistent stat indicators - and generally poor records. FYI, Minny is 7-8 in Quad 1 games vs RU's 4-13, and Minny is 1-5 in Quad 2 games to RU's 4-1 ... So Minny is 8-13 in Quad 1 and 2 combined, while RU is 8-14 ... both teams are 0-2 vs Quad 3.
