Dawson Garcia’s desperation, 35-foot triple to beat Michigan would be the bad luck storyline of what happened in Minneapolis Thursday evening. Not this night. U-M did just what coach Dusty May warned them not to do in coming out lax in an 84-81 loss to a winless Minnesota team,

LOS ANGELES — Dusty May knows the grind required to win a title. That the Detroit Lions were able to win their division and earn a No. 1 seed in playoffs has only increased his appreciation for the franchise and its head coach.

The one flaw in this Wolverines offense has been turnovers but they've done a better job of taking care of the ball lately and Minnesota doesn't apply much ball pressure. The Gophers prefer a sluggish tempo but won't be able to slow down Michigan's offense here.

Michigan State (14-2) has won nine in a row under Tom Izzo, now in his 30th year on the job. The Spartans, ranked No. 16, clobbered Washington at home and won at Northwestern on Sunday (78-68) since the last poll came out.

That's why May wasn't shy to give some praise to the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell, after they just put the finishing touches on a 15-2 regular season Sunday night with a 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL's regular season finale.
