This Big Ten semifinal matchup features the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Michigan Wolverines. Minnesota upset Purdue 75-73 in their quarterfinals game, while Michigan destroyed Iowa 74-53.
In the regular season, Michigan swept the season series.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Golden Gophers have had a magical run so far in this Big Ten tournament. If they are not already in the Big Dance, a win against the defending Big Ten champs certainly will give them an at-large bid.
Both Amir Coffey and Jordan Murphy had huge games to help down the Boilermakers. Coffey had 21 in this game and Murphy had a team high 27. They will certainly need another great performance form both these guys, but this time around it will be much harder considering the defense they will be playing.

Defensively, the Golden Gophers did just enough to limit Purdue. They held them to 6 of 24 from the three-point line and held Carsen Edwards to 11 points on 4 of 17 shooting. Now against Michigan, the Golden Gophers will need to focus on slowing down Ignas Brazdeikis.
Michigan Wolverines
Michigan crushed the Hawkeyes, blowing them out by 21. Michigan has already defeated the Golden Gophers and will be looking for the rare 3-0 sweep. The Wolverines are currently a 2-seed according to Joe Lunardi, so by winning this tournament, they could make a small argument to being moved up to the 1-seed line.
The Wolverines were overall very balanced on the offensive end, putting four different players in double-figures. Look for a similar type performance as the Golden Gophers are not the greatest defensively and will have trouble containing all the different weapons for Michigan.

The Michigan certainly did their job, holding the Hawkeyes to just 53 points. They are now 26-1 when allowing less then 70 points, so look for another lock down defensive game to propel them to the finals.
CBB Betting Trends:
- MICH are 38-16-1 ATS in their last 55 vs. Big Ten.
