I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Usually not a good sign when the line move up that quickly. U of M is more of a public team that Iowa so curious if the sharps will come in late or if it keeps moving up.

Fran and his Hoks really needs this one to get that signature win for their tourney resume....
Does the team show up and fight or crumble?

I mean I could see this game going a lot like MSU. Close game at half, and then Michigan just destroys them in the last 15 minutes.

Serious question: did you means "sharks" or is "sharps" a gambling word which I am not familiar?
 
Michigan's defense is too good. Iowa will be flopping, stumbling, and flailing into the paint and get some calls but in the end Mich. 77 Iowa 69.

He said he wouldn't be shocked, never said he is picking Iowa.

I'm just hoping for a close game with a chance to win in the final minutes.

Winning on the road is hard. Michigan needed a buzzer beater to win at Minnesota. I do not think Iowa will win but a home team that is a borderline top 25 team beating the 5th ranked team would not be all that surprising. If Garza can continue to shoot well and draw Teske away from the basket that's a good start, then let Cook work down low and crash the offensive boards. Other than Poole I'd take my chances letting the others shoot jumpers. If Livers and Iggy get hot and are hitting jumpers, I'd say Iowa is cooked no matter what they do, but those guys have had some cold shooting games too. Let Simpson shoot jump shots all game long and try to keep him out of the lane. Tall task for Iowa but not impossible.

That Michigan/Minnesota game was actually at Michigan.

Haks will win. They’re due for a night where they’re unconscious from beyond the arc and don’t have to play defense.

Then they’ll probably follow that up with an inexplicable loss to Rutgers...

Problem is, Iowa could score 90 points and still lose.

Rutgers is atrocious

They are not good, but they are definitely better than Nebraska now, Illinois, and PSU. They may be better than Indiana and OSU as well. Then again, I know absolutely nothing about Rutgers basketball other than looking at the games they have won and lost.

They might show up and put up a fight like the MSU game (I actually thought they'd get that one) and then reality may hit, although Michigan's not built like MSU where they can just clamp down and win.

If Iowa wins it's going to be mayhem at the the local tavern and trips will be planned for the FF after Bobo tweets about it.

They were unconscious from behind the arc against Minnesota. Still lost.
