Remember when Minnesota routed Ohio State just days ago? Now that’s a distant memory for the Gophers.
What was a defensive slugfest to start ended up being an offensive clinic for Michigan basketball, while the Wolverines continued to be defensively elite. The Gophers couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end while the maize and blue just got better and better on both sides of the floor as the game wore on.
A six-point halftime lead ballooned to a more than 30-point advantage as Michigan destroyed Minnesota to the tune of 82-57, despite the Gophers entering with a surging basketball team with wins over teams like red-hot Iowa. The Wolverines are now 10-0 on the season with 5 Big Ten wins.
