What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Michigan Wolverines will be on the road. Michigan and the Iowa Hawkeyes will face off in a Big Ten battle at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa will be strutting in after a win while the Wolverines will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Michigan received a tough blow this past Saturday as they fell 68-57 to the Ohio State Buckeyes. One thing holding Michigan back was the mediocre play of center Hunter Dickinson, who did not have his best game: he finished with 14 points on 7-for-17 shooting in his 36 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Iowa entered their contest on Sunday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. They put the hurt on the Nebraska Cornhuskers with a sharp 98-75 victory. Forward Keegan Murray had a stellar game for the Hawkeyes as he had 37 points in addition to six boards.

The Wolverines are now 13-10 while Iowa sits at 17-7. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Michigan is second worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.1 on average. To make matters even worse for Michigan, Iowa comes into the game boasting the third fewest turnovers per game in college basketball at 8.8.
