If there's a weakness for these Michigan Wolverines championship rings to be worried about, it's lurking behind the 3-point line.

Jordan Poole and Jon Teske swished aside the concern for at least one night.

Poole scored 22 points to lead a long-range shooting spree by seventh-ranked Michigan, and the Wolverines beat Minnesota 69-60 on Thursday to set up a much-anticipated matchup this weekend against rival Michigan State with first place in the Big Ten at stake.

"We love the competition we have with Michigan State, but we're trying to win a championship," Michigan Wolverines championship rings for sale coach John Beilein said. "And to win a championship, you've got to beat Minnesota too."

Teske had 17 points, seven rebounds and five blocks and Ignas Brazdeikis added 10 points for the Wolverines (24-3, 13-3), who are tied with the Spartans at the top of the conference. Purdue is a half-game behind.

Michigan went 13 for 28 from behind the 3-point line, matching a season best for makes in Big Ten play, with Poole going 5 for 10 and Teske 3 of 6. In the previous three games, Poole was 3 for 17. Both Teske and point guard Zavier Simpson are shooting below 30 percent for the season NCAA championship rings.

"I know what I see in practice and I know if we're going to compete for the championship -- Big Ten, Big Ten Tournament, national championship -- then we've got to be able to score more," Beilein said cheap championship rings.

These well-balanced Wolverines, who had nine points and nine rebounds from Charles Matthews and 12 assists by Simpson, needed a buzzer-beating jumper by Matthews to stave off a late surge by the Gophers for a 59-57 victory at home on Jan. 22. Michigan made only 3 of 22 from behind the arc in that game cheap University/College Rings championship rings.

This time, the Wolverines experienced no duress.

"I think they were pretty confident," Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said, "and they were just teeing it up."

The Wolverines have won 13 of the last 14 games in the series, including nine of 10 since Pitino took over. Jordan Murphy (18 points, 15 rebounds) and Daniel Oturu (18 points, 12 rebounds) gave the Gophers (17-10, 7-9) plenty of production in the paint, but they missed nine of their 10 attempts from 3-point range custom University/College Rings championship rings.

"We kind of let that affect our defensive effort," Murphy said.

Oturu had a double-double by halftime, beating the buzzer with his putback to bring the Gophers to 28-18, but that was still their lowest score of any half all season. The Wolverines built a lead as large as 21 points in the second half, sinking 3-pointer after 3-pointer whenever the Gophers were on the verge of a run.
