Big 10 Tournament opening game #9 Michigan 55 #8 Iowa 47

Michigan WINS!

Despite a nearly 10 minute second half scoring drought for Michigan, the Wolverines held on for a first round victory against the Hawkeyes.

Rob Salaman and Stuart Zaas had the live call on the sportstream and did a great job. Honestly, way better than the BTN play-by-play and color guys.

Michigan now advances to take on the #1 seed Wisconsin in a #1 vs. #9 matchup. The Wolverines lost by double digits at home to Wisconsin this year, but lost by only 3 at Madison.

Does Michigan have a shot?

We will find out tomorrow at noon when they tip off against the Badgers.
You can catch that call tape delayed on the sports stream as Rob and Stu will have it again.

-Go Blue!

Big 10 Tournament: Michigan vs Iowa

Michigan Men's Basketball will take on Iowa as the number nine seed in the Big 10 Tournament at noon in Indianapolis. The two teams split their matchups during the regular season with each team picking up a road victory. Iowa defeated Michigan 68-60 in the first game on January 19th. More people would remember that game for a certain football recruit who was in attendance (for all of 10 minutes) while on his official visit. In the second meeting, the Wolverines rallied from a 27-16 halftime deficit to go on and win by a score of 60-52. That win was the second in Michigan's season-high three game win streak.

On paper, this is a very even matchup between the #8 and #9 seeds. If you combine the scores from both regular season games, the teams tied 120-120. The winner of Thursdays game will go on to play #1 seeded Wisconsin at noon on Friday.

WCBN's Rob Salaman and Stuart Zaas will be in Indianapolis with the call. You (might) be able to listen live by following the link for the sports stream from our website: www.wcbnsports.com
