Ann Arbor — For the first time in nearly a year, Michigan found itself in an unfamiliar situation: needing to rebound from a regular-season loss.
The Wolverines were able to wash away the odd feeling and get back on track in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night.
Behind huge second-half flurry and a buzzer-beater by redshirt junior wing Charles Matthews, No. 5 Michigan was able to pull out a 59-57 win over Minnesota at Crisler Center.
Freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis bounced back from his first scoreless outing with 18 points and 11 rebounds and junior center Jon Teske added 15 points, five rebounds and three blocks to lead Michigan (18-1, 7-1 Big Ten), which shot 13.
