Iowa City, Iowa — It was a gaping hole for the Wolverines.
Make that a 7-foot-1, 260-pound void.
No. 5 Michigan faced a nightmare scenario of what it’s like to play without junior center Jon Teske for much of the game, and once was more than enough.
“It was bad,” sophomore forward Isaiah Livers said following Friday’s 74-59 loss to Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Teske played 1:25 in the first half and fouled out for the first time in 83 career contests. Despite being limited to a season-low 13 minutes, he finished with eight points, eight rebounds and a block as the Wolverines outscored the Hawkeyes by three points when he was on the court.
