It’s Deja Vu all over again — the Michigan Wolverines (23-11-3) are once again heading to the Big Ten Tournament final to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Mariucci Arena. However, unlike last year’s semifinal game against Notre Dame, Michigan did not offer up any drama against Ohio State.
The Wolverines came out FIRING against the Buckeyes — literally — and lit the lamp just 23 seconds in when Gavin Brindley rocketed home a top-shelf shot. If you only glance at the box score, it would appear Michigan just ran away with this one with a massive three-goal first period, however, that wasn’t entirely the case.
