A dominant performance from Iowa’s star big man coupled with a strong shooting night from Fran McCaffery’s Iowa Hawkeyes (11-5, 3-3 B1G) was too much for the Northwestern Wildcats (6-10, 1-5 B1G), who fell 75-62 Tuesday night in Evanston.
The Big Ten’s leading scorer finished with 27 points on a blistering 10-of-14 performance from the field, despite being held scoreless for a 25 minute stretch throughout the course of the game. The Hawkeyes were also aided by a 46 percent shooting mark from three-point range.
Miller Kopp led the way offensively for the ‘Cats, scoring 15 and shooting 5-17 from the field.
