Winning is easy when you got Joe Weezy.
The Iowa basketball team improved to 16-3 and 5-3 in the Big Ten with a thoroughly enjoyable 95-71 win over Illinois, Iowa’s fifth in a row.
The Hawkeyes tied a record for shooting percentage at Carver: 69.4%. The largest contributor to that blazing hot stat? Freshman Joe Wieskamp who shot 8-8 Sunday afternoon.
Wieskamp has been playing well all year long, but this game demanded your attention and respect. His 14 first half points are accentuated with the fact he shot 4-4 from three and his additional points were free throws off a flagrant foul.
