Hawkeyes Erase Early Deficit And Blast Maryland Luka Garza, Jordan Bohannon, and Joe Wieskamp. But last night belonged to the players named McCaffery, Toussaint, and
Murray.
The Gazette reports that 5th ranked Iowa erased an early 19-9 deficit and went on to route Maryland 89-67. There were great performances all over the Iowa stat sheet. How about those McCaffery brothers? Connor had a career high 10 assists and no turnovers on the night. His brother Patrick had 10 points and played great defense against the Terps. Freshman Keegan Murray had his second straight 14 point game including three dunks that brought his teammates off the bench. Joe Toussaint had a career high 6 steals and was in the Maryland passing lanes all night.

Unlikely as it may have seemed not many days ago, the bigger pregame story of Tuesday night’s Northwestern-Iowa men’s basketball game is the Wildcats, not the Hawkeyes.
Northwestern is the one of the two that is 3-0 and atop the Big Ten standings. It is the one that has two wins over Top 25 teams since last Sunday, triumphs over Michigan State and Ohio State at home that sandwiched a victory at Indiana.
It is the team that went 3-17 in the Big Ten last season and 8-23 overall. Monday, it moved into the rankings itself at No. 19, nine spots below the 7-2 Hawkeyes, who slipped to 1-1 in the conference after their 102-95 overtime loss at Minnesota last Friday.

MINNEAPOLIS Brandon Johnson made all four of his 3-point attempts in overtime and finished with 26 points and nine rebounds, leading Minnesota’s late surge to upset No. 4 Iowa 102-95 on Friday night.
Marcus Carr had 30 points on 6-for-13 shooting from 3-point range and eight assists, and Liam Robbins added 18 points and four blocks for the Gophers (8-1, 1-1 Big Ten). They trailed by seven points with 44 seconds left in regulation and outscored the Hawkeyes 29-15 the rest of the way.
Luka Garza had 32 points on 11-for-27 shooting and 17 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (7-2, 1-1), who allowed 99 points in their first loss last week to No. 1 Gonzaga. C.J. Fredrick scored 23 points and Joe Wieskamp added 14 points and nine rebounds, but a 55-38 rebounding edge wasn’t enough for Iowa to overcome the barrage of 3-balls by the 6-foot-8 graduate transfer Johnson.
