The No. 23 Hawkeyes dished out their most lopsided victory ever over the No. 21 Wolverines, while matching a Carver-Hawkeye Arena record with their 15th consecutive home win and taking the outright lead in the Big Ten Conference.

Two-time defending champ Illinois missed a chance to tie for the top after a 66-65 home loss to Penn State.

Iowa (18-5, 7-2 Big Ten) had a decisive 20-5 run to take a 48-34 advantage with 17:20 left in the second half.

Iowa made a season-best 65.3 percent of its shots, including eight consecutive 3-point baskets.

Michigan (16-4, 6-3) made 32 percent in the second half and dropped from first to third place in the standings.

Wow, Thus far a great year! The next few games really look winnable with 18 wins now an invite to the big dance looks very good at this point!

GO HAWKS!!
