Woeful first half ruins Michigan's Senior Night, lose to No. 24 Iowa, 82-71

Ann Arbor — Michigan’s Senior Night was far from a memorable one.

Once the pregame ceremony wrapped up and the ball was tipped off, there wasn’t much for the Crisler Center crowd to cheer about over the opening 20 minutes.

The Wolverines stumbled out of the gate, trailed by double digits early and ultimately couldn’t overcome a woeful first half as a late rally fell short against No. 24 Iowa, 82-71, in the regular-season home finale on Thursday.

Sophomore center Hunter Dickinson finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, fifth-year senior guard Eli Brooks scored 17, freshman forward Caleb Houstan added 11 points and grad transfer guard DeVante’ Jones 10 for Michigan (16-13, 10-9 Big Ten).
