1. Tough night in Iowa City, as Iowa took a 93-80 win on an evening when the Hawkeyes were terrific from three-point range, making 17 three-point shots.
2. Carolina was completely and fully committed to defending National Player of the Year candidate Luka Garza in the paint. They did a credible job against Garza, rotating four big men on him to make his life difficult near the basket. But their focus on Garza allowed Iowa to rain three-point shots, as the Hawkeyes went 11-for-22 from three-point range in the first half.
