Ann Arbor — This was Senior Night, and these were senior moments.

Only there weren’t any seniors in uniform for the Wolverines. They were all playing for other team.

And not surprisingly, the other team won going away Saturday night, as Michigan — an NCAA Tournament bubble team desperate for a win on its home court — was left deflated again by a more talented and far more experienced Iowa team in an 81-71 loss at Crisler Center.

This was Michigan’s best chance — if not its last one — to bolster its postseason credentials, facing the 15th-ranked Hawkeyes — losers of four in a row coming in — on their home floor in the regular-season finale.
