Marble scores 26 to help Iowa beat Michigan

The Hawkeyes’ 85-67 win Saturday over Michigan should keep criticisms at bay, at least until the next time Iowa plays.

The Hawkeyes beat the Wolverines in a way no other team has all season. Their offense was overwhelming, their defense swarming. The final score, 85-67, indicates the extent of the beatdown Michigan absorbed.

Senior guard Roy Devyn Marble scored 26 points, sophomore point guard Mike Gessell put up 10 points and eight assists and junior forward Aaron White added eight points and 11 rebounds. Michigan got 22 points from sophomore guard Caris LeVert and 19 from freshman guard Zak Irvin off the bench.
