"Golden Gophers Edge Out Wolverines 73-71, Extend Winning Streak to Six in Big Ten Clash"

The Michigan Wolverines suffered another home loss to Minnesota, marking their ninth defeat against teams ranked below 60th since a similar loss two years prior. This game highlights a continuing trend of underperformance, particularly on defense, as Michigan ranks 154th in the KenPom defensive ratings. The team's record fell to 6-8, with a 3-4 record at home, and they have yet to face the six Big Ten teams likely to make the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines' defensive struggles are a significant concern, with only five high-major programs performing worse this season.
