What channel is Iowa basketball vs. Michigan? How to watch Hawkeyes' upcoming Big Ten game
The Hawkeyes' tough three-game stretch starts this week.
Iowa basketball hosts Michigan — a preseason national champion pick that slipped below expectations — on Thursday in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tipoff is slated for 6:01 p.m. CT, and fans can watch the game on ESPN or through the Watch ESPN app with a cable provider login.
Iowa (17-7, 7-6 in the Big Ten) has a prime chance to bolster its NCAA Tournament resume with a win against Michigan. The Hawkeyes are currently a 10-seed in both USA Today and CBS Sports' latest projections after three consecutive conference wins, including a 98-75 victory over Nebraska on Sunday. In that game, Keegan Murray scored 37 points.
Michigan (13-10, 7-6 in the Big Ten) stumbled after its No. 6 preseason ranking. The Wolverines are 3-3 over their last six games. Michigan recently lost to Ohio State 68-57 on Feb. 12.
