Another very frustrating game, but I'll take the win, despite the near-choke. The defense wasn't great (Minnesota's stupid turnovers made it look better than it is) but good enough, despite allowing some open 3s and committing some dumb fouls. I can't imagine how maddening it is to be a Minnesota basketball fan and have to watch such awful offense.
Offensively, they didn't turn it over much tonight, but that's the only big positive, except that Brazdeikis finally had a big second half. Poole and Matthews still had awful games, Simpson was shooting too much, and only Teske played a complete game, once again. Brooks played his best game in awhile, if only by default, so hopefully he'll be more aggressive in the future. Minnesota is a big but not great defensive team, and Michigan was getting its share of open looks but just didn't see them or missed too many of them.
The return game to Indiana is next. Hopefully they'll be focused on shooting drills until then.
