This year, the Big Ten may be more competitive than its ever been. Every game counts when teams are fighting for an NCAA Tournament berth. During Sunday's game, Minnesota continued to maximize its opportunities against quality opponents.
The Gophers used a dominant performance from Daniel Oturu to pick up a 75-67 win over No. 19 Michigan. Oturu scored a career-high 30 points as Minnesota secured its second win over a ranked opponent.
Michigan grabbed an 11-point first-half lead, but Minnesota kept fighting back. Forward Alihan Demir had 13 second-half points, including several smooth moves in the post.
