Wolverines (11-1, 6-1 Big Ten commit 20 turnovers) and shoot dreadful 39 percent from the field.
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. A poor shooting performance. A brutal start. An injured Eli Brooks. All of it was too much for No.7 Michigan to overcome as it was on the other end of a blowout,75-57, at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. BOX SCORE: Minnesota 75, Michigan 57 Senior guard Chaundee Brown finished with 14 points and senior forward Isaiah Livers had 11 points and nine rebounds for Michigan (11-1,6-1 Big Ten). Brown made his first start of the season in place of Brooks, who was out with a right foot strain. After trailing by as much as 12 during an abysmal first half riddled with shooting and turnover issues, things didn’t get much better for Michigan in the second half. The Gophers used back-to-back 3-pointers from Liam Robbins – snapping a 0-for-12 start from deep – to reestablish a double-digit advantage,41-30, with 15:47 remaining.
