BIG TALK, BIG GAME: Hunter Dickinson bullied rival, then told them about it after every bucket
Game notes: Michigan has a quick turnaround after throttling Michigan State, 87-70, on Tuesday. Hunter Dickinson led the way with 33 points. Dickinson, a candidate for Big Ten player of the year, has scored 14 points in each of his previous two games vs. the Hawkeyes. Freshman Moussa Diabate was key in Michigan's win vs. Iowa earlier this season, putting in a game-high and career-high 28 points on just 15 shots.
Iowa is in the midst of its third four-game winning streak this season. Since losing to the Wolverines two weeks ago, the Hawkeyes haven't been challenged, easily deposing of lowly Nebraska and Northwestern as well as Ohio State and Michigan State. Keegan Murray leads the team with 23.3 points per game, on 56.1% shooting from the field, and 8.6 rebounds per game.
To finish the regular season, Michigan plays Ohio State while Iowa ends at Illinois.
