Iowa’s high-powered offense was rendered to its lowest output of the season en route an early round 67-63 loss to 12th-seeded Richmond.
It was a perfect storm of misery in an Iowa first half that featured:
- 1 really dumb foul that gave Richmond the lead at the break
The good news is Richmond didn’t play much better, with the Spiders getting out-rebounded 26-18 early on, leaving the door open during a game they could’ve taken control of. Tyler Burton played Keegan Murray about as good as one could hope, and Richmond’s nimble point guards made things an issue for Jordan Bohannon, who went 0-3 in the first 20 minutes as the Spiders took a 29-28 lead at the break.
