IOWA 71, MICHIGAN 61: GOODBYE LOSING STREAK

Behind a vintage Jarrod Uthoff performance, Iowa puts together their best performance in weeks and defeats Michigan.

We've been looking for a sign or a hint that maybe, just maybe the 2016 Iowa basketball swoon isn't a carbon copy of the soul-crushing 2014 Iowa basketball swoon. The jury's still out on how the tournaments will play out for Iowa basketball over the next few weeks, but... we'll take this win as a much-needed sign of optimism.

Michigan made the first basket of the game, a Duncan Robinson 3-pointer 10 seconds after the tip, but Jarrod Uthoff scored the next five points off a jumper and a three-pointer.
