In its fourth game in a week, the luck of Chris Collins’ suit seems to have worn out.
The Northwestern Wildcats (15-6, 6-4 B1G) lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes (14-8, 6-5 B1G) 86-70 inside Carver-Hawkeye arena, dropping their first game since pausing due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
The Wildcats were led by their star backcourt tandem Chase Audige and Boo Buie, with the pair combining for 35 points and five assists, not to mention nine points from Nick Martinelli. A Filip Rebraca double-double guided Iowa with 20 points and ten rebounds, and Payton Sandfort chipped in 20 of his own.
