Charles Matthews ended up being the hero for Michigan basketball against Minnesota, as the senior knocked down a game-winning shot that gave the Wolverines a 59-57 victory.
However, what we should not lose sight of is the fact that the game should have never gotten to that point. Michigan basketball, even after suffering its first loss of the season, came out sluggish.
Minnesota built an early 18-9 lead as the Wolverines connected on just three of their first 20 shot attempts. The cold shooting from beyond the arc would continue all night as Michigan basketball would finish just 3-of-22, which was a good reason why UM failed to 60 points for the second straight game.
