Minnesota lost to Michigan 76-49. The Gophers will now wait to see if they are in the NCAA Tournament tomorrow. Amir Coffey led all Minnesota scorers with 14 points.
Today was a game that was not to be for Minnesota. Perhaps best encapsulated by the fact that Minnesota missed twice as many dunks as they made, the Gophers were out of sorts on the offensive end. Michigan presents a difficult matchup for any team, but particularly the Gophers. The Wolverines are a potential Final Four contender, and showed why today. The game was tied at 13-13 with a little over ten minutes remaining in the first half.
