South Dakota State @ (14) Minnesota... Tuesday, December 3, 2012 @ 7:00 p.m.

Not what I heard.  I have confirmed that indeed he rolled his ankle at practice, has recieved treatment and is going to give it a go.  I do worry because no one will tell me the extent of his injury.  Nate's backup is a big recruit (well BIG for South Dakota State standards) but he is a true freshman.  He looked good against UNO on Saturday (but so did everyone).  I will have a play for this game but unfortunately it might be less than I wanted to.  What makes Nate so GREAT is his quickness and this ankle injury does worry me some.  I not gotten any word about T. Prince being injuried (he is the top bench player).

I am hoping this line rises and I will probably still play SDSU just for for 2 units instead of the 4-8 I was going to lay.  I was planning on making this play perhaps my biggest SDSU play to date.  I will post before tip my play(s).  BOL to all!

 Exactly my concern!

I already like Minnesota in this game and now with the news on Wolters, I thinking of laying down a decent size wager. Wolters is the heart and soul of that team. Him just being out there is clearly not going to be enough as it will be evident early on if his movement isnt up to his usual standards.

I don't see how there is anyway you can make a play on SDS.

KingRGrill I have seen this squad play over 100 games in the last five years.  Nate Wolters will play.  He probably will not be 100%.  Nate is a great player but if you think he is the heart and soul of this team you never seen them play.  This team is a tough group and Jordan Dykstra, Tony Fiegen, Nate Wolters, Braden Carlson, Chad White, Taveyon Prince, etc are a big part of this rotation.  I have seen many time (last game included) where Nate does not have a good game and Jordan or someone else goes nuts.  Trust me this team is not going to just quit because Nate is dinged.

This news has been broadcasted for several hours now and the line moved what half a point?!?!?  If you like Minnesota because of the size, depth, SOS, they are at home, etc fine but not because Nate is dinged and he is the "heart and soul" of this team.

I agree allbees.  I too am concerned with the Gophers size but so far size has not been a big deal to the Jacks.  They have covered the only underdog game this year and I expect them to go 2-0 as an underdog.  I too am pondering Jacks 1H for the reasons you indicated.  BOL!

Okay the line is moving back down again... MIN -14.5 and dropping in most places.  I am going to grab 15 while I still can through my local.  My plays are:

SDSU +15 for 2 units

SDSU +8.5 1H for 1 unit

No play on the total as one is saying 137 and the other saying 155 so I am going to pass.  I would favor an SDSU team total over.  I always feel that way whenever I can get SDSU less than 75.  In this case you only need 70 if the total is 155 and line 15.  Of course if the total is 137 it is even better.

I really wanted to hit this one hard as I have been waiting for nearly a month for this line but the injury concerns make it only two units (which anyone who knows me know that this is still bigger than normal for me).  BOL to all!

If everyone is healthy and playing the game that I know they are capable I think South Dakota State can take Minnesota down to the last shot (win or lose).  BOL!
