Iowa basketball rolled after halftime en route to a 96-77 win over South Dakota.
The Hawkeyes are 3-0 on the young season and will return to action on Friday night in the John Deere Quad Cities Hoops Showdown versus Washington State.
Minus sophomore forward Owen Freeman due to illness, Iowa saw junior guard Josh Dix author his best scoring night of the young season with 23 points. Dix knocked down 8-of-10 field goals, including 5-of-6 on 3-pointers.
The Hawkeyes also saw the season debut of sophomore forward Seydou Traore who transferred in from Manhattan. Traore flashed some of the athleticism that has Hawkeye fans excited about what he can bring to this Iowa team.
Traore finished with 12 points, four rebounds and a pair of blocks. The 6-foot-7 forward knocked down a pair from beyond the arc.
Sophomore forward Ladji Dembele also netted a career-high 11 points in the win.
