Michigan can clinch a Big Ten title against Minnesota, but Dusty May says the Wolverines don’t want to share Michigan men's basketball can earn at least a share of the Big Ten title by beating Minnesota at the Crisler Center on Tuesday night.The Wolverines are 15-1 in league play…

Michigan men's basketball's Big Ten clinching scenarios are simple:

- Win one game and earn at least a share of the title.
- Win any two games and it's an outright title.

"I don't think anyone in our locker room wants to share anything." β€” Dusty May
