Ta'Lon Cooper led five Minnesota players in double-figures by tying his season-high with 16 points, Pharrel Payne had 15 points, and Dawson Garcia added 13 points, but Michigan shot 52.4 percent and made 10-of-18 three-pointers in a 90-75 win over the Gophers at Williams Arena. Minnesota drops to 4-5 this season, 0-2 in Big Ten play. Michigan improves to 6-3 overall and 1-0 in league action.
Michigan jumped ahead 30-11 by making 10 of its first 12 field goals, including 5-of-5 from three-point range. The Wolverines' largest lead of the first half was 37-13 with 7:42 remaining, but the Gophers fought back with a 15-3 run over the next four-and-a-half minutes to cut the deficit to 40-28. Cooper keyed Minnesota's run with nine of his team-high 12 first-half points during the stretch. Garcia had seven points and four boards at the break, as the Gophers trailed 47-31.
Michigan, which shot 53.3 percent (16-of-30) in the first half, made 13 of its first 20 attempts in the second half to stretch the lead to 32 points, 81-49, with 8:24 remaining. Minnesota kept battling, outscoring Michigan 26-9 from that point on to cut the final margin to 15 points. Minnesota wound up making 27-of-55 (.491) field goals, including 6-of-15 (.400) three-pointers, and 15-of-24 (.625) free throws.
Minnesota hosts No. 23 Mississippi State on Sunday. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m., and televised on Big Ten Network.
