After a Big Ten season of putting away lesser foes, Iowa finally played down to a conference foe—and it nearly cost the Hawkeyes dearly. The game's final score was 75-71, and despite this being a "worst vs. first" conference game, that's entirely indicative of how close the game was. A listless first fifteen minutes left Iowa struggling to even keep pace with the Gophers, and Iowa's biggest lead of the entire game was 10 points. Jarrod Uthoff was your man of the match with 24 points (two behind Peter Jok for the team lead), and he added 15 rebounds and six blocks to the total.
