Iowa Basketball: Uthoff Paces Iowa, Hawkeyes Defeat Michigan

The Iowa basketball team had lost five out of six games and four straight coming into Saturday night’s contest against the Wolverines. They seemed to gain some confidence back against Indiana this past Tuesday, but were unable to secure a victory. Iowa needed a win Saturday to ensure itself of a top five seed in the Big Ten tournament. Iowa senior forward, Jarrod Uthoff did his best to make sure Iowa left Michigan with a win.

Uthoff scored 12 of Iowa’s first 22 points en route to a 29 point night. Uthoff’s scoring hadn’t fallen off during the losing streak, it was more about his efficiency.
