Iowa City, Iowa — The Wolverines have suffered their share of frustrating losses this season, from the crushing setbacks against Virginia and Central Michigan to the close finishes against Kentucky and North Carolina.
They added another deflating defeat to the list on Thursday.
After leading by as much as 10 in the second half and holding a seven-point advantage with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, Michigan crumbled and wasted a career night from freshman wing Jett Howard in a 93-84 overtime loss to Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Howard poured in a career-high 34 points — shattering his previous high of 21 points set in the season opener — and made seven 3-pointers.
