The Iowa Hawkeyes hit the road and head to Hilton Coliseum for a matchup against Iowa State where they seek an important bounce-back effort.
Iowa (5-3) enters licking its wounds from Monday night. Against the nation’s No. 4 team, Purdue made the Hawkeyes look vulnerable. The Boilermakers built a 35-point lead at one stage as it was a laugher throughout inside Mackey Arena.
Iowa shot just 38.5% from the field against Purdue’s 52.3% shooting. Graduate forward Ben Krikke finished with 16 points and senior guard Tony Perkins added 12 points. That duo combined to knock down 12 shots and shoot 44.4% from the floor. The rest of the Hawkeyes combined to shoot just 13-of-38, or 34.2%.
The Hawkeyes have a chance to pick up their first Quad 1 victory of the season tonight in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State (6-2) enters this evening following a 99-80 win over DePaul where senior forward Tre King scored 24 points and junior guard Keshon Gilbert poured in 21.
The Cyclones had lost consecutive games against Virginia Tech (71-62) and then-No. 13 Texas A&M (73-69).
