Michigan basketball gets creamed by Minnesota

Going in the prediction was Michigan -4.  I tuned-in to see why it was so little since the first one was not close.  I remembered it well--Minnesota has the gunner guard and 7-ft center who barely showed-up.

That one started with Liam Robbins smacking Michigan center Hunter Dickinson in the jaw while shooting at close range; Dickinson hit the deck.  The rest of the night was a runaway in Minnesota's favor.

It is OK that Dickinson didn't have his best game.  You can't expect that every time from a freshman.  But the rest of the team didn't do much either.

 

Eli Brooks was out, but the rest of the team didn't do much either.

That rest is Austin Davis--he could have done a decent job banging Robbins--and Livers, Wagner, Brown, and Johns.  That's it.  Jackson and Williams are not there yet.

While Franz Wagner and Isaiah Livers are both excellent players, they are complimentary, all-around players.  Neither was capable of getting the team back in the game.
