Next: Iowa

Part of the quadruple-header on the Big Ten Network (going on right now!), Michigan will battle the Hawkeyes at Carver Hawkeye Arena in just over four hours

Without Kachine Alexander suiting up (21.0 ppg in three games), Iowa's scoring threat is greatly diminished. Iowa is putting Kelly Krei in her place, but offensively, she's only a key factor around the three point arc. And since Hawkeyes are expected to play just seven people, I believe it's important that the Wolverines get into the transition game and tire this team out.

One more Hawkeye to look out for: Kamille Wahlin. She is coming off a 23-point performance and has been in double-figures in 7-of-8 contests.

In case you haven't been paying attention to this unprecedented 8-game road trip, the Wolverines are 2-2, alternating losses and wins. In each of those losses, Michigan recorded just 10 assists - in all but one win, they've had 16+ (a bit of a random stat, but something Coach Borseth likes to keep in mind). The past two games were also the Wolverines' cleanest based on the turnover stat (14 each). Obviously, that discipline is always good to have, especially in this conference (see Indiana v MSU).
