Michigan struggles to hold lead but edges out Iowa, 85-83
Ann Arbor — It was a happy but nerve-wracking homecoming for the Wolverines.
Back at Crisler Center for the first time in more than two weeks and coming off back-to-back wins over ranked opponents, they kept the good vibes rolling on Saturday.
Behind another balanced scoring attack and a last-second layup by Roddy Gayle Jr., Michigan recovered after squandering a 16-point first-half lead and an 11-point lead late in the second half to take down Iowa, 85-83, for its seventh straight win.
Vlad Goldin had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Tre Donaldson added 18 points to lead five double-digit scorers for Michigan (8-1, 2-0 Big Ten). Gayle added 17 points and had the winning basket with 3.2 seconds left.
