Where to watch Iowa women’s basketball vs Michigan today: Time, stream for Hawkeyes
Looking to regain momentum after two near top-10 upsets slipped away, Iowa women’s basketball heads to Michigan for the final road trip of the regular season. BTN+ will carry Wednesday’s 6 p.m. contest.
The Hawkeyes (18-9, 8-8 Big Ten Conference) nearly knocked off Ohio State and UCLA last week but had to settle for coming up just short. Iowa will look to end February on a high note with key Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Tournament positioning at play.
Meanwhile, Michigan (19-8, 10-6) enters having won five of six while securing several toss-up victories. The Wolverines won four straight to begin February over Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan State and Indiana — then lost at Maryland — before rebounding against Penn State last Saturday.
