Like Iowa’s win earlier in the week, this one wasn’t pretty, but a wins a win and Iowa heads to Madison Square Garden 2-0 after a 93-82 over UW Green Bay.
It was another slow start for Iowa like earlier in the week, where the Hawkeyes found themselves down by nine halfway through the first frame. Iowa battled on the scoring front, however, and used 17 points off fouls to surmount a 47-46 lead at half.
Iowa was ice cold shooting in the first half, going just 1-8 from three, the lone make coming from Ryan Kriener, of all people.
