Matt Garza is a front-runner for National Player of the Year and he was every bit that good as he carried the Iowa Hawkeyes to a demonstrative victory over a young Purdue Boilermaker squad, 70-55.
The Boilers were able to hold the high power Iowa offense to well below their season average, but the young Boilers could never get their own offense going.
Trevion Williams led the way for Coach Painter with 14 points, but it took the big man 14 shots as he matched up one on one in a match up of the best two big men in the Big Ten.
