Takeaways from Iowa basketball’s win over Minnesota

Iowa basketball secured a 72-52 win over Minnesota — the first conference win of the season — thanks to Wieskamp’s hot hand.

The sophomore scored 23 points and hit five 3-pointers, equaling his total makes from downtown in his last three games combined.

Joe Wieskamp got things started, and he never slowed down en route to an @IowaHoops B1G win.
