IOWA CITY, Iowa − In a season full of narrow misses and tough losses, Thursday night may be the biggest blow of the season for the Wolverines.
Freshman Jett Howard scored a career-high 34 points but it wasn't enough as Michigan basketball lost to Iowa, 93-84, in overtime at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Michigan (9-7, 3-2 Big Ten) led by seven with less than two minutes to play and by four with less than 30 seconds in regulation after Kobe Bufkin's jumper from the elbow.
But on the ensuing possession, Bufkin fouled Payton Sandfort on a 3-pointer from the top of the key, who got the shot to drop and made the free throw to tie the score.
