The Iowa Hawkeyes finally notched a win in the Cayman Islands behind strong performances by Tyler Cook and Jordan Bohannon, 95-85, over the UAB Blazers.
Cook and Bohannon had career highs of 29 and 30 points, respectively, on 17/23 shooting (6/8 from three, all Bo) and 19/22 from the free throw line. Iowa made a concerted effort to get the big men involved early, as Luka Garza and Cook had 11 of Iowa’s first 15 points. Garza and Isaiah Moss added 14 and 12, each.
A win is better than a loss, and I certainly feel better about this team leaving the Caymans at 4-2 than 3-3.
