Minneapolis – There’s no rest for the weary.
After traveling to London and back, Michigan racked up more airline miles and hit the road again for its Big Ten opener against Minnesota.
The Wolverines passed their first true road test and first hurdle without starting point guard Jaelin Llewellyn with relative ease by jumping all over the Golden Gophers and cruising to a 90-75 win at Williams Arena to kick off conference play.
Junior center Hunter Dickinson led the way with 19 points and freshman guard Dug McDaniel had 15 points and seven assists in his first start for Michigan (6-3, 1-0 Big Ten), which built a 24-point lead roughly 12 minutes into the contest and never looked back as it snapped a two-game skid.
