Michigan Ends Gopher Basketball Run

The Gopher men's basketball team had Michigan on the ropes in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals but allowed the Wolverines to come from down 6 points with 1:25 left to force overtime.  Michigan won 73-69 in overtime to eliminate Minnesota.  Freshman guard Andre Hollins led Minnesota with 21 points and 6 assists and Rodney Williams chipped in 20 points and 6 rebounds.

Minnesota is 19-14 and will hope for a bid in the NIT tournament when the pairings are announced Sunday night.
