Wolverines update: Michigan has won three of its past four, including an impressive 15-point win over Iowa on Feb. 2. The Wolverines are led by sophomore F Naz Hillmon, who is fifth in the Big Ten in scoring (17.4) and second — to Minnesota's Taiye Bello — in rebounding (9.0). Her 4.4 offensive rebounds per game are eighth in the nation and her 56.6% shooting is No. 2 in the Big Ten. She is one of four Michigan players scoring in double figures. The others: senior F Kayla Robbins (11.6), sophomore G Amy Dilk (10.7) and senior G Akienreh Johnson (10.4).
