Luka Garza netted 24 points on 4-5 shooting from three in a wire-to-wire win over the HATED Grand Canyon Antelopes, 86-74.
Iowa surged to an 11-2 lead following two three-pointers courtesy Garza and another from Jordan Bohannon, forcing Bryce Drew to call a timeout just before the under-16.
From there we saw the Lopes enact their gameplan: throw 10 elbows at Garza at a time.
Asbørn Midtgaard banged with Garza in the paint, feasting with 7 points in the paint to go with 2 fouls early on.
Luckily, Iowa isn’t just Garza. Iowa’s bench saw some run pretty early, and Keegan Murray made his presence known with a monster slam shortly after entering the game.
