The hangover was a bit delayed for Rutgers.
Not necessarily a hangover but the Scarlet Knights suffered a slight setback with a loss to Iowa on Sunday. After defeating No. 1 Purdue, Rutgers handled Maryland with ease last time out and avoided any inkling of a letdown. On Sunday, it reared its head a bit.
In a wire-to-wire victory, Iowa was able to control pace. It scored 42 points in the first half and Rutgers was unable to slow own the offense of the Hawkeyes in the second half. Rutgers forced 18 turnovers but Iowa was strong from the field, shooting 44.
