Iowa 72, Michigan 54: Jarrod Uthoff had 16 points and nine rebounds and Mike Gesell scored 14 points as the Hawkeyes defeated the host Wolverines in Big Ten play.

The Hawkeyes led 46-28 after a dunk by White with 13:33 remaining and Michigan used his time on the bench to creep within 11 and later moved within 52-43 on a 3-pointer by Dawkins with 8:06 left. Iowa quelled that charge with Uthoff draining a 3-pointer and Gesell hitting a jumper to start a 12-2 burst that gave the Hawkeyes a 64-45 lead with 4:25 to play.

Michigan led most of the first 13 minutes of the first half and held a 21-19 edge on Albrecht’s 3-pointer with seven minutes left. The Hawkeyes rolled off the final 12 points of the first half for a 10-point halftime edge and Uthoff scored 21 seconds into the second half to give Iowa a 33-21 advantage.

GAME NOTEBOOK: White received two technical fouls – the first for taunting and the second for hanging on the rim – but the latter was termed to be of the “Class B” variety so White was not ejected. … Michigan was just 7-of-24 from 3-point range. … White had five rebounds to raise his career total to 796 and surpass Reggie Evans (794 from 2000-02) for ninth place in Iowa history.
