Everybody is getting hot from the floor. The Wolverines have been drilling 3-pointer after 3-pointer. Meanwhile, the Cyclones haven’t missed in quite some time either.

Will Kennedy
Big run from the Wolverines made it a one point game with under five seconds to go, but Emily Ryan hit a buzzer-beating layup to push the ISU lead back to three points heading into the final frame.
Michigan got hot in that frame and shot nearly 50% from beyond the arc. Setting up for an interesting final quarter after what looked like what might be an ISU cruise control victory early in the third.
Audi Crooks up to 20 points on the night. Still with just two fouls.

10:56 am CT March 21, 2025
END 1: Michigan 19, Iowa State 13
Will Kennedy
The Michigan defense has been putting in work against the Cyclones. Iowa State only has four made shots through the first quarter and has turned the ball over seven times. The Wolverines have turned those seven turnovers into nine points.
Kelsey Joens, Sydney Harris and Audi Crooks all have three points. Crooks has two fouls already and so does Addy Brown. That will be something to monitor as the game goes on. Brown has only played four minutes so far.
10:43 am CT March 21, 2025
1Q/4:52- Michigan 10, Iowa State 8
Will Kennedy
No team really asserting itself just yet. Michigan has led most of the first quarter, but it’s always been a one or two-possession deficit.
Wolverines are throwing up a ton of shots, but not hitting on them. They’re 3-of-13 from the field. Cyclones are a much more efficient 3-of-7 from the floor. But ISU has four turnovers already, so that’s something to keep an eye on.
10:33 am CT March 21, 2025

Iowa State women’s basketball vs. Michigan prediction
Will Kennedy
The season has been full of ups and downs for Iowa State, but it has found a groove lately, winning eight of the last 10 games. Both losses came to Baylor. While Michigan will be a tough matchup, the Wolverines don’t do many of the things that typically pose problems for the Cyclones.
Strong 3-point shooting and physical defenses are usually Iowa State’s biggest bugaboo. With a matchup that benefits Iowa State, the Cyclones likely will end up one win away from the Sweet 16.
