The Iowa men’s basketball team hit a team-record 12 three-pointers in the Big Ten Tournament en route to a 83-62 … rout … of Illinois. The 21-point win is also the largest margin of victory ever for an Iowa team in the BTT.
Four different players scored in the double digits for the Hawkeyes, and it seemed like just about every player played to his potential in what was a refreshing 40 minutes of basketball.
The first half was a genuinely enjoyable back and forth affair that started off with a tenacious Iowa defense that surged the Hawkeyes to an early 10-2 lead.
