Michigan Daily

The Michigan Daily has two new articles about the team - one about their defense and the Iowa game:

Some may call it sloppy.

But really, it was just gritty.

Michigan put forth its best defensive effort of the season in a 63-46 win over Iowa on Sunday. It was the Wolverines' interior defense that allowed Michigan to pull out the game.

By limiting the Iowa offense down low, the rest of the Michigan defense could focus on the perimeter, making the Hawkeyes a one-dimensional team.

The other is about their start to the big ten season:

Four.

That's the number of Big Ten wins the Michigan women's basketball team has had over the past three seasons combined.

But this year, under new coach Kevin Borseth, things seem to be changing.

The Wolverines opened their Big Ten campaign with a dominant 63-46 thumping of Iowa at Crisler Arena Sunday.

Michigan (1-0 Big Ten, 8-3 overall) pounded a Hawkeye team that Wolverine center Krista Phillips bludgeoned in the post.
