Michigan basketball has no trouble with Minnesota, as MSU looms

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The first meeting between Michigan and Minnesota wasn't decided until the final second.

There was no such drama this time.

The seventh-ranked Wolverines led for 36:19 of Thursday night's game at Williams Arena, putting together a nearly complete performance in a 69-60 win over the Golden Gophers.

Michigan (24-3, 13-3 Big Ten) limited Minnesota (17-10, 7-9) to 18 first-half points in opening up a double-digit lead, and made 13-of-28 3-pointers.
