Iowa 92, Western Illinois 71: Hawkeyes Coast to Conference Play

The Iowa Hawkeyes improved to 10-3 on Wednesday night as they took home a 92-71 victory over the Western Illinois Leathernecks to close out the non-conference portion of the schedule.

The Hawkeyes got on Western early, jumping out to a 10-2 lead to start the game, and never really looked back. WIU cut the lead to 2 with just over 15 minutes to go in the first half, but Iowa led for more than 39 of the game’s 40 minutes and the Leathernecks would never get closer than a four point deficit the rest of the way.
