In a game which felt there for the taking, the #19 Iowa Hawkeyes (15-6, 6-4) couldn’t climb the mountain against the #14 Maryland Terrapins (17-4, 7-3), losing 82-72.
In addition to the Terps, the Hawks battled themselves too often. Luka Garza and Ryan Kriener each picked up their second fouls on a silly effort poking at a rebound and a technical foul for, presumably, saying a bad word, respectively. Garza was frustrated all night, though he finished with 21 points on 9/19 shooting.
After a couple early threes from Joe Wieskamp and CJ Fredrick, the two struggled to sustain their scoring.
