Michigan drained eight three pointers in the opening half and used a 22-4 run to take control in a 75-68 win at Iowa. It snapped a five game losing streak to the Hawkeyes as the Wolverines claimed a rare victory in Iowa City. The Wolverines shot 62 percent in the opening half and for the game were 11 of 25 from three point range. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes dug themselves too big of a hole in the opening half.

Iowa trailed by as many as 18 points in falling to 0-3 in the Big Ten. Sophomore Tyler Cook led Iowa with 29 points and eight rebounds. The Hawkeyes host Ohio State on Thursday night.
