IOWA CITY — Indiana Basketball took a five-game win streak to Iowa City on Saturday evening. That streak is now emphatically over.

The first half was back and forth, with each team making a big run to gain the lead. An 18-5 Hawkeye run to end the half gave the hosts a 10-point advantage going into the locker room.

The second half was all Iowa. The Hawkeyes jumped out quick and never looked back, leading to a decisive 85-60 victory.

“We failed in all three areas tonight,” Indiana head coach Mike Woodson said postgame. “That’s something you can’t have when you go out on the road, so we got to be better.”
