Ben McCollum was impressed with one key stat during Iowa's 55-point blowout win

The Hawkeyes made a two-hour trip down Interstate-80 to Des Moines to battle the Bucknell Bison on Saturday afternoon, and Bucknell forgot to get off the bus.

While it was not a traditional home game for the Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Ben McCollum had his guys ready for the challenge.

Outside of a few moments when the offense stalled, Iowa easily handled Bucknell and earned a 94-39 victory.

Eleven Iowa players scored a basket in the win, led by Alvaro Folgueiras' season-high 17 points off the bench, but the story was the defense.
