Michigan Basketball Extends Win Streak to Seven Despite Persistent Turnover Issues

The Wolverines secured a narrow 85-83 victory over Iowa, but turnovers remain a critical challenge for the team's success.

Michigan (8-1) defeated Iowa 85-83 in a nail-biter, marking its seventh consecutive win and a 2-0 start in Big Ten play for the first time in four years.
Turnovers continue to plague the Wolverines, with Michigan ranking near the bottom nationally in turnover rates, leading to significant scoring opportunities for opponents.
Five Michigan players scored in double figures, with Vlad Goldin recording his first double-double for the team and Tre Donaldson contributing 18 points and five assists.
Despite their struggles with ball security, Michigan excelled in key areas, ranking nationally in two-point shooting, offensive rebounding, and defensive efficiency.
Upcoming neutral-site games against Arkansas and undefeated Oklahoma will test Michigan's ability to address its turnover problem against tougher opponents.
