Iowa features an offense with two elite back-to-the-basket scorers in junior forward Tyler Cook (15.9 PPG) and sophomore forward Luka Garza (13.1 PPG). The Hawkeyes lost a heartbreaker to Maryland by one point Tuesday, snapping a four game winning streak. They sit at a very respectable 20-6 and are sixth in the Big Ten standings.
Although their big men are their two best players, Iowa has been led in scoring by either guard Jordan Bohannon or Joe Wieskamp over the past four games, as the skill of Cook and Garza close to the basket sucks the defense in and makes it easy for shooters to find open space.
