The Iowa Hawkeyes got another blowout win on Sunday as they demolished the Northwestern Wildcats 96-73 in Evanston. While the win on the surface is impressive and helped Iowa moved not only atop the Big Ten standings, but also up to #4 nationally, it’s blowout nature also gave Iowa’s key contributors plenty of rest.
That’s becoming a theme this season for the Hawkeyes and something that could bode well for Iowa down the stretch. Just over halfway through the scheduled regular season games, Iowa boasts a 12-2 record. But of those 12 wins, 10 have come by at least 15 points.
