Just tracked it, with Adams in foul trouble, Towns was guarded by Grant/Melo for 9:38 (NINE MINUTES) before his first post touch. Equal blame on Thibs, Teague, and Towns himself. Recipe for failure.

One of the biggest differences between Michigan St and the next two Big Ten contenders Minnesota and Purdue is bench production. Starters are solid. But #Gophers zero bench points vs. Miami. Boilers zero bench points at Maryland.
