It was no contest in Evanston on Sunday.
Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hansen on the Hawkeye Network. A dreadful first half was too much for Iowa to overcome. The Hawkeyes finished two of 17 from three point range and committed eight turnovers in the opening half and were clobbered at Northwestern 80-60. The Wildcats hang on to sole possession second in the Big Ten and win their 11th conference game in a season for the first time since 1931.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who was ejected with seven and-a-half minutes remaining. The Hawkeyes finished three of 24 from behind the arc and fall to 9-7 in the Big Ten.
Tony Perkins scored all 11 of his points in the second half and the closest Iowa got was seven points.
