The Michigan Wolverines had the pieces to defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes, taking a lead into halftime and three players scoring in double-digits. Even Sherrone Moore and Donovan Edwards gave speeches to the Crisler crowd. Nonetheless, second-half shooting plagued Michigan once again, and it lost, 88-78.
The Wolverines took on an Iowa team that also came off two straight losses, losing to Purdue and Maryland. Because of this, both teams were looking to turn the page against one another on Saturday night.
