IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Luka Garza and Jack Nunge came to Iowa in the same recruiting class. It's a connection that Garza, the Big Ten player of the year last season, appreciates.
And with Nunge now back with the Hawkeyes, Garza couldn't be happier -- for a lot of reasons.
Garza scored 35 points, 30 in the first half, and grabbed 10 rebounds as No. 3 Iowa stayed unbeaten with a 99-58 win over Western Illinois on Thursday night.
Nunge, playing his first game this season following the death of his father, matched his career high with 18 points for the Hawkeyes (3-0).
