Senior sendoff: #24 Iowa 82, Northwestern 61

The #24 Iowa Hawkeyes (21-8, 11-7) continued their torrid stretch with a 82-61 hamblasting of the Northwestern Wildcats (13-15, 6-13). Keegan Murray had a ho-hum 26 points and 18 (!!!) rebounds while seniors Jordan Bohannon & Connor McCaffery had 18 & 17 points, respectively. Connor’s blistering February continued with 5/9 shooting from deep.

Defense was the name of the game, as Iowa fought through their own subpar shooting, finishing 39% from the field. Northwestern shot just 38% (22% in the first half) but yielded 15 turnovers.

The game started with Northwestern winning the tip and a Pete Nance running hook (he didn’t make another basket in the first half).
