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 Rebrau010da 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.
