Michigan vs. Iowa Basketball Preview: Alive but not secure

The Michigan Wolverines finished their four-games-in-eight-days stretch with a 2-2 record, getting the extremely valuable upset win over Purdue and at least looking competitive in both of the losses. This performance has given them life, but they will likely need to go at least 4-3, maybe 5-2, from here on out to secure a Tournament bid.

Statistically, the toughest remaining game is actually Thursday night in Iowa. Though the Hawkeyes are unranked unlike Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michigan State, analytics think this is a very dangerous team; Kenpom has them with a top-five offense and No. 18 overall in the country.
