On a second straight Friday night the Iowa Hawkeyes played a second straight back-and-forth game on a neutral site. Unlike last week, the Hawks couldn’t come away with the victory in a 77-69 loss to Utah State in Kansas City.
The Hawks kept the game in range early with defense despite starting 0-9 from three in the first 7 minutes. Seydou Traore came in and made an impact immediately with 2 blocks in his first minute of game time. Despite making just one bucket, Iowa went from down three to up four in his time on the court.
