IOWA 90, RUTGERS 76: KNIGHTMARE AVERTED

Iowa shrugged off a sluggish first half and overwhelmed Rutgers, 90-76, keeping its undefeated Big Ten season alive. Peter Jok scored a career-high 29 points, Anthony Clemmons poured in his own career-high 20, and Jarrod Uthoff calmly added 20 more points to help Iowa down the stretch.

#Hawkeyes had three players score 20 or more points tonight for first time since Dec. 16, 2000 vs. Missouri (via @mbenson6).

For the start of the game, this looked a little bit like a tortoise-and-hare situation; Iowa raced to an easy 15-4 lead then just started hoisting jumpers, which is not entirely ideal with 35 minutes left to play.
