EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Nick Ward used his power to gain position and his touch to score, putting together a perfect game from the field.
Ward made all 10 of his shots, scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead No. 10 Michigan State to a 90-68 win over No. 18 Iowa on Monday night.
"There's not a lot I can yell at him about," coach Tom Izzo said. "He did miss some free throws."
The 6-foot-9, 245-pound Ward, who was 6 of 11 from the line, was simply too much for the Hawkeyes to handle.
