The Iowa Hawkeyes overcame a slow start and an early deficit thanks to the play of Keegan Murray and Tony Perkins to defeat Rutgers, 84-74 in the quarterfinal of the Big Ten Tournament.
Murray was phenomenal, scoring 26 points (18 coming in the first half alone) on 10-19 shooting, grabbing 8 rebounds, dishing two assists, and logging a steal and a block. It continued an incredible run for Murray, who has now surpassed Luka Garza’s single season record for points. He was assisted greatly by Tony Perkins and Jordan Bohannon, who each scored 16 points, and Kris Murray added in 9 points as well.
