Road woes continue: Wisconsin 64, Hawkeyes 52
The Iowa Hawkeyes’ (17-11, 9-8) road woes continued in a 64-52 loss to the Wisconsin Badgers (16-11, 8-9), shooting 32.3% from the field and a dire 3/28 from three. Tony Perkins & Filip Rebra\u010da each had 13, while Payton Sandfort had 10. While the Hawkeye defense was probably good enough on the whole, Wisconsin outscored Iowa in the paint 38-32 on 21/30 shooting from 2.
The Hawks really couldn’t have asked for a better start, as they raced to a 10-4 lead ahead of the under-16:00 timeout. The press had the Badgers out of sorts early, as Kris Murray found Ahron Ulis after stealing the inbound pass. It was 13 seconds after Rebra\u010da hook shot and put Iowa up six early.
