It’s important to remember that Iowa won 10 of their first 11 games in Big Ten play, and in the Indiana loss, the Hoosiers were unbelievable from behind the arc, hitting seven of their first eight. Even though they were down by double digits, the Hawkeyes did mount a furious rally to take a lead with 4:27 remaining in the game. After that, though, they missed nine shots in a row, giving Indiana the chance to take the lead again. In their last four losses, they have only fallen by a combined 23 points. Michigan does not have the shooters that Indiana has, making a win more likely.

Michigan has not been much better, losing four of six, but they did beat Purdue at home during that stretch. Right now, the Hawkeyes have no confidence on the road, and Ann Arbor is a tough gym to play in because of the raucous crowd.
