Michigan Basketball vs Minnesota: Preview, 3 keys and predictions

Michigan basketball looks to remain undefeated as they take on the 23rd ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday afternoon.

Michigan basketball comes into this matchup as the hottest team in the country and winners of three in a row in blowout fashion against three ranked teams. The Wolverines have dominated on both sides of the ball and have left opposing coaches scratching their heads after these last three games.

These two teams met just ten days ago in Ann Arbor, MI where Minnesota was no match for the Wolverines. Michigan dominated from start to finish and took home an 82-57 win. Michigan was led by Hunter Dickinson who scored a career high 28 points on 12-15 shooting. Since then, Minnesota has played only one other game, a road loss to 5th ranked Iowa.

The home and away difference for Minnesota this season has been staggering. They have only played 4 games on the road so far and are 0-4. In those four losses, they have lost by an average of 19.75 points. On the flip side, they are 10-0 at home with big wins against Iowa, Michigan State, and Ohio State.

Something has to break this game. Michigan is undefeated on the year and Minnesota is undefeated at home.
