Iowa vs Michigan: 3 Keys to Victory for NCAA Seeding

No. 5 Michigan visits No. 12 Iowa in a pivotal Big Ten showdown that could decide NCAA seeding. A win for Iowa would tie them with Michigan for second place in the conference standings.

This Sunday's matinee at Carver-Hawkeye Arena is set to be an all-timer with a sold-out crowd. Iowa enters the game 12-3 in conference play, trailing Michigan 13-2 by just one game.

To secure the win, the Hawkeyes must take care of the basketball, as Michigan forces an average of 22.7 turnovers per game. Additionally, Iowa needs to defend the paint and force the Wolverines to beat them from three-point range, where Michigan shoots just 33.1% on the season.
