Fifth-ranked Michigan looks to take sole possession of first place in the Big Ten when it visits No. 25 Iowa on Friday. The Wolverines cruised past Ohio State 65-49 on Tuesday to extend their home winning streak to 20 games, which is the third-longest in program history, while pulling even with No. 8 Michigan State at the top of the conference standings, and hope to stay hot by beating the Hawkeyes for the fourth consecutive time.

The top teams in the Mid-American Conference will meet Friday when No. 17 Buffalo visits Bowling Green. The Bulls, who are trying for their 10th straight victory over the Falcons, will be the highest-ranked team to ever play in the Stroh Center.

Maryland was good enough for just long enough to send Wisconsin to what could have been a demoralizing loss in the teams' first meeting this season, but the No. 23 Badgers' impressive resilience has them near the top of the Big Ten standings. Wisconsin tries for its fifth straight victory since the setback when it hosts the No. 24 Terrapins on Friday.
