The Iowa Hawkeyes (11-6, 3-3) overcame a career night from Jett Howard in a come-from-behind overtime victory against the Michigan Wolverines (9-7, 3-2), 93-84. Kris Murray scored 27 points to lead the Hawks in a delightful back-and-forth between two potential draft picks while heroics from Payton Sandfort late and a bevy of points (26) got the game to overtime.
Sandfort’s heroics, let’s start there. Down 77-72 with 1:12 left, Iowa was in score-stop-score range after a Michigan turnover and promptly dialed up a set play for him to hit a three, which he did.
