Iowa closed the first half on a 12-0 run and roared away from Ohio State for a 92-75 win in Iowa City.
Tony Perkins had 24 points and Connor McCaffery dished out 13 assists, three shy of the single game record.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says it was defense that allowed the Hawkeyes to take command.
