Five Hawkeyes scored in double figures in route to No. 5 Iowa’s ... rout of Northwestern, 96-73—the largest margin of victory in the Big Ten this season.
Wildcat point guard Chase Audige worked Iowa’s interior for an easy lay-in to make it 2-0 bad guys, but then Luka Garza, CJ Fredrick, and Joe Wieskamp combined for six straight Iowa points to remind everyone that Iowa has Luka Garza, CJ Fredrick, and Joe Wieskamp, while Northwestern... does not.
And really, that’s the story of this game. When Northwestern was throwing everything it had at the Hawkeyes—in the form of an 11-2 run midway through the first half, thanks to three consecutive threes from Boo Buie—Iowa threw out Pat McCaffery, Jack Nunge, and Keegan Murray alongside Garza and Jordan Bohannon with 10 minutes to go in the first frame.
