Now, the goal will be winning the Big Ten Tournament after the Michigan women’s basketball team dropped its final regular-season game and chance at the program’s first Big Ten regular-season title.
The No. 6 Wolverines squandered an early 11-point lead and fell, 104-80, to the hot-shooting No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes before a sold-out crowd of more than 15,000 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday. Michigan finishes the regular season 22-5, 13-4 Big Ten.
It was a matchup of the Big Ten’s top offensive team and defensive teams. Iowa was averaging 84.7 points a game, and Michigan was yielding an average 59.
