Tyler Cook sitting on the bench for the Iowa on the road at Northwestern could have been the kiss of death for the Hawkeyes. Instead, Joe Wieskamp came alive in the second half, and together with Luka Garza, took over the game. Together, they turned a seven-point deficit with 17 minutes remaining in the game into a 73-63 road win at the newly renovated Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Wieskamp finished the game as Iowa’s leading scorer with 19 points and 7 rebounds, while Garza added 16 points and 5 rebounds coming off the bench for the second straight game.
