The No. 5 Michigan Wolverines (25-7, 13-5 B1G) overcame a shoddy shooting performance and foul trouble to knock the No. 12 Iowa Hawkeyes (14-19, 4-14 B1G) out in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament Thursday.
Next up for the Wolverines: the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers (22-9, 13-5 B1G).
The last time, and only time this year, the two teams met leaves a bad taste in the mouth of Michigan fans. A 72-52 defeat in January, where the Wolverines shot 37 percent from the field is the reason why the Cornhuskers are enjoying an extra day’s of rest as owners of a double-bye in the tournament.
