How about that for a big road victory!
Just three games into the season, Iowa has defeated a solidly notable opponent in the Big East’s Seton Hall. They were dominant defensively, really throwing their opponents off of their game despite being on the road.
The Pirates shot under 36% from the field, and had double the turnovers (16) as Iowa. For most of the first half, Seton Hall looked absolutely unable to score. That really aided an Iowa offense that struggled a bit early on to score as well.
Thankfully, they did pick it up on the back of a Kris Murray 29 point performance. That matched Murray’s career high as he finished 10-of-20 from the floor and drained a trio of 3-pointers.
They don’t look like they are in midseason form yet, but Iowa showed a ton of exciting things against Seton Hall. There was excitement about their defensive potential heading into the season, and they locked down tonight. Filip Rebraca in particular was a force on the interior, Tony Perkins pestering the Pirates as well.
It is a win that can prove to be big come the end of the season, and here are the top social media reactions.
