After a couple close losses against ranked teams, the Michigan Wolverines kicked off Big Ten play with a victory at the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 90-75. It was a dominant win, where Minnesota never had the lead and Michigan was up by double digits for much of the game.
True freshman Dug McDaniel played a big part; in his first career start following Jaelin Llewellyn’s season-ending ACL injury, he scored 15 points, dished seven assists and shot 5-of-6 from the field.
The Wolverines needed to find a replacement at the 1 and if McDaniel keeps playing like this, Michigan will be just fine.
