Michigan State is packing their bags for the first of two showdowns with No. 24 Michigan.
The Wolverines, who average a solid 77 points per game, are nearly identical to the Golden Gophers’ 76-point average. From downtown, there’s just a 2% gap in shooting, and their overall field goal efficiency is separated by less than a single percentage point. On paper, these teams look like mirror images, but Wednesday’s game told a different story.
What was expected to be a nail-biter turned into a more one-sided affair as Michigan clung to a slim four-point lead after a quiet stretch early in the quarter. When the final buzzer sounded, Minnesota’s inability to turn things around down the stretch handed Michigan the win on a silver platter.
