Who is Minnesota's projected starting five?
Ben Johnson will likely go with the starting five that he has rolled out in each of the Gophers' last three games. After the starting five had a great debut against UTSA, helping lead the Gophers to 102 points, it has been a little less successful but still quality, scoring 68 and 67 points in their last two games.
Starting guard Kylen Milton is the potential game-changer for the Arkansas Pine-Bluff. He's been fantastic this season, shooting 66.1% from the field including 57.9% from deep. Lonnell Martin has also started the season strong from three-point range, hitting 52.9% of his three-point attempts.

PREDICTION
Arkansas Pine-Bluff is off to a quality start this season at 3-2 but they haven't exactly faced elite talent. They're best opponent this season has been Missouri whom they fell to by a final score of 101-79 and two of their three wins are against non-NCAA opponents. Their only D1 win this season has been against Central Arkansas (85-83). This is still one of the bottom-of-the-barrel Division I programs in the country and a game that the Gophers should still be able to win comfortably. Minnesota 82 - Arkansas Pine-Bluff 60
