Michigan has had its way with Iowa in recent years.

That might not mean anything to the current Hawkeyes when they visit Ann Arbor for a key Big Ten basketball game Wednesday night.
Iowa, which is 4-1 in the Big Ten and 15-3 overall, has lost to Villanova, at Iowa State and at Wisconsin. All three of the teams that have beaten Iowa are in the current AP Top 25.
The Hawkeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring with 86.8 points per game, and they have outscored opponents by an average of 20.2 ppg, second-best in the country to defending national champion Louisville.
Michigan has won 10 of its last 12 meetings with Iowa, including the last four at Crisler Center.
U-M and coach John Beilein defeated Iowa 95-67 last season.

Quick, take a picture of the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball standings. We might not see this again for a long time.
North Carolina is last -- that's 15th place in the expanded ACC -- with an uncharacteristic 0-3 record.
Duke isn't much better. The Blue Devils are 1-2, one of eight ACC teams with that mark.
Of course, it is early in the conference season.
Don't forget, Duke is building around 6-foot-8 freshman Jabari Parker, who broke the heart of Michigan State coach Tom Izzo when he signed with the Blue Devils. Parker averages 19.5 points per game.
And those 0-3 Tar Heels are the same team that posted an impressive victory at MSU this season.
