It’s the Iowa Hawkeyes and Michigan Wolverines. The Hawks look to even their record against Juwan Howard (as a coach) at 3-3 with a win tonight. The two outfits split their games last season with both racing out to huge leads on their opponent’s home floor. Iowa closed the gap to make it respectable with an 84-79 loss at home but kept them at bay with a 82-71 road victory.
One stat I didn’t go deep on which is certainly eye-raising: Michigan’s offensive rebounding rate. They’re gathering just 23.4% of their misses, which ranks 320th according to KenPom.
