Iowa vs Michigan: Keys to Victory for Big Ten Title

Iowa women's basketball hosts No. 5 Michigan in a critical Sunday matinee at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to determine Big Ten seeding and NCAA tournament positioning.

Iowa faces a massive challenge against Michigan on Sunday, as the No. 12 Hawkeyes look to overtake the No. 5 Wolverines in the Big Ten standings. A victory would tie the teams and give Iowa a crucial tiebreaker, while a loss would put Michigan two games ahead with just two games remaining.

To secure the win, Iowa must focus on ball control, as Michigan leads the conference in forcing turnovers. Additionally, the Hawkeyes need to force the Wolverines to shoot from beyond the arc, as Michigan is the fifth-worst 3-point shooting team in the conference.
