Michigan basketball will be back on the road Friday night against Iowa and here are three predictions for the Wolverines, plus how to watch and odds.

The Michigan basketball defeated Iowa back in December and scored more than 100 points on its way to doing so.

Well, with the way the Wolverines have been playing defense lately, especially against good bigs, Michigan basketball might have to score close to 100 to win Friday night as it travels to Iowa City for a showdown with the Hawkeyes.

Luka Garza is obviously a name that Michigan fans know well. He was the first inside presence to go off against Juwan Howard’s single-post coverage and it was the start of a theme. Overall, Michigan has struggled to defend in all areas, having issues forcing turnovers and just giving up too many easy baskets.

That will need to change if Michigan is going to knock off Iowa as a 4.5-point underdog Friday, but before we get to the predictions, here’s how to watch and the rest of the key info.
