IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa’s bench was the key in a win over Michigan State. The Hawkeye reserves scored 39 points and grabbed 19 rebounds as the eighth ranked Hawkeyes beat the Spartans 84-78.
That’s sophomore guard Joe Toussaint who had 10 points and six assists and gave the Hawks a spark after Michigan State raced to an early 11 point lead.
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the deep bench provides him with a lot of options.
Luka Garza had 27 points and 12 rebounds as the Hawkeyes move to 7-3 in the Big Ten and 13-4 overall. They host seventh ranked Ohio State Thursday. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.
