The Iowa Hawkeyes (13-10, 5-7) looked to build off a home win against Ohio State and came out firing early but a 5:00 scoring drought spelled doom as the Penn State Nittany Lions (12-11, 6-6) shot the leather off the ball in an 89-79 victory.
Ben Krikke returned to form with 22 points on 10/18 shooting but the Nittany Lions pressing defense force 18 turnovers, including five from Tony Perkins. Perkins & Patrick McCaffery added 11 apiece. Defensively, Iowa’s 22 fouls allowed 31 fouls shots for Penn State, including two from Owen Freeman in the first eight minutes.
