The Iowa Hawkeyes lived — and almost died — by the 3-pointer in a blow-out turned back-and-forth matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels that ended in a 93-80 win in Carver-Hawkeye Arena in this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup.
Huge shots all night long from Jordan Bohannon, C.J. Frederick and Joe Wieskamp, who had 24, 21 and 19 points respectively, were crucial for Iowa’s success, as Luka Garza was forced into a quiet first half, which resulted in him finishing the night with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists after a night where he found himself constantly doubled underneath the basket.
