At 12:00pm ET, my Early Riser is on Minnesota. The Gophers have been winning their games without covering the spread. Now for this afternoon's game they are underdogs. So, a win will also result in an ATS victory. The Shockers can really score but the Gophers are great defensively. They're the best defensive team which Wichita State has seen. Minnesota's Dawson Garcia, averaging 22.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, will pose a matchup problem for the Shockers. A very experienced team, the Gophers have shown an ability to win close games. They'll hand the Shockers their first loss this afternoon.
