It was only a matter of time before Michigan was knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten.
That time finally came on Saturday afternoon in a Top-25 rematch against No. 23 Minnesota.
A mound of turnovers and a poor shooting performance. A pair of strong outings from Liam Robbins and Marcus Carr. An injured Eli Brooks. All of it was too much to overcome as the Gophers turned the tables on the No. 7 Wolverines in a 75-57 thumping at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.
“Minnesota was ready, and we weren't ready,” said senior forward Isaiah Livers, who finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.
