In a game which was never seriously in doubt, the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0) defeated the Longwood Lancers (0-1) XX-YY. Considering some of the trouble fellow Big Ten teams found themselves in tonight, the day’s finale was a nice reprieve.
Keegan Murray led all scorers with 24 points on 8/10 shooting, including 3 threes, 7 rebounds, and 5 (!!!) blocks in just 17 minutes of play. Jordan Bohannon joined him in double digits at 18 on 6/8 shooting, all threes.
