The Hawkeyes' masterpiece against the Florida Gators had more layers than anyone realized.
Ben McCollum had a perfect game plan that his guys executed to perfection, and even with Bennett Stirtz struggling, Iowa found ways to neutralize Florida's size and skill on defense, and other guys stepped up on offense.
Iowa's extremely slow pace of play on offense is well-documented, but they sped things up at times and were extremely efficient shooting two-pointers.
The Hawkeyes outscored the Gators in the paint 32 to 30, shooting a ridiculous percentage from two-point range. Iowa shot so well that it was the first time in Todd Golden's tenure that a team shot that well.
