Gopher Mens BB falls at Michigan

(Ann Arbor, MI/Minnesota News Network) — Cade Tyson made 5-of-10 three-pointers and finished with 20 points and six rebounds, Langston Reynolds had 15 points, and Bobby Durkin and Isaac Asuma each had 12 points, but No. 3 Michigan (26-2, 16-1 Big Ten) made nine second-half three-pointers to pull away from a four-point halftime lead and clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title with a 77-67 win over Minnesota (13-15, 6-11 Big Ten) at Crisler Arena. Shorthanded Minnesota, playing its fourth-straight game without starting forward Jaylen Crocker-Johnson, trailed the Wolverines 32-28 at the half, and were still within 51-47 with 10:19 remaining. But a 19-5 Michigan run that included five three-pointers helped to seal the victory. The Wolverines made 9-of-18 three-pointers in the second half. The Gophers are back at it on Saturday afternoon with a 1 P-M tip against U-C-L-A from Williams Arena.
