1 hr 6 min MSP or 1 hr 41 min MEM?

Departure is OKC on June 9 going on to AMS and finally EDI.

I flew an early morning OKC-MSP last month and all was well, but AEX Travel reports that the late evening flight (6 pm, #2110) is 82% on time and could be 30 minutes late. I have 1 hr 6 minutes to catch the flight to AMS which is a 333 and WBC is wide open. I also know that even if the OKC is delayed a little that the trains at MSP can move me quickly.

I can't remember the last time I went through MEM but wonder if the scheduled 1 hr 41 min connection for AMS will be about the same at the MSP connection. Also a factor for me is that my first choice seats MEM-AMS are gone and I would have to go with 5C.

I really want to go through MSP on the outbound but am not sure what my options are if I get to the airport and we know the departure is going to be delayed. If it matters, this is a Z fare.
