What to Know

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders' road trip will continue as they head to Williams Arena at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday to face off against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. These two teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as the Islanders wrapped it up with an 87-73 win on the road.

Meanwhile, Minnesota bagged a 75-65 victory over the Michigan Wolverines this past Saturday. Four players on the Golden Gophers scored in the double digits: forward Jamison Battle (27), guard Payton Willis (17), guard Luke Loewe (14), and guard Eylijah Stephens (13).

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 3-0 against the spread when expected to lose.

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is now 9-1 while Minnesota sits at 8-1. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Islanders enter the matchup with 18.8 takeaways on average, good for 11th best in college basketball. But the Golden Gophers come into the contest boasting the second fewest turnovers per game in college basketball at 8.3. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
