Premium Pick

Michigan is a big dog, but this is an even game. The Wolverines are fresh off a win over #3 Maryland, 70-67, playing great defense. Michigan has had 10 or more three-pointers made in six straight games. The Wolverines are on a 5-1 spread run, including 6-1 ATS in Big Ten play. This is one of the best three-pointing shooting teams in the nation (42.8%, #9 in the country) and looks like the best in school history. Iowa lives by the three-pointer, but this Michigan team is quick on the perimeter, holding Maryland to 6-of-24 from long range the last game. Michigan head coach John Beilein is 11-5 all-time against the Hawkeyes, and this shapes up as a close conference dogfight. Play Michigan.
