The Iowa Hawkeyes win third game in four outings with 58-43 win at Indiana


The Iowa Hawkeyes are beginning to compete in the Big Ten. With a 2-5 record now in the Big Ten, the Hawkeyes are not going to compete for any titles or post-season bids in the 2009-10 season. But, they are getting competitive as the season approaches February.

The Hawkeyes followed up a competitive loss at Michigan State Wednesday night into a solid road win at Indiana Sunday afternoon/evening. The Hawkeyes hit the offensive boards in fueling the win over IU in Bloomington. Coach Todd Lickliter for Iowa wins a game in his home state. It was IU's lowest point total of the season.

Wednesday night's game:

A bounce here and a bounce there and Iowa may have won the previous time on the road. But, the Hawkeyes took care of business coming off a competitive game in East Lansing.

Iowa (7-12, 1-5) continued to fight as when the lead was whittled to 15, the Hawkeyes went on a 14-2 run to make it 64-61 with 2:03 to play. MSU got a layup ...

Iowa dominated inside vs. the Hoosiers on the boards. Further, defense fueled their first road win of the season. For everyone on the Iowa roster, it was their first Big Ten road win ever, since Iowa didn't win on the road in 2008-09.

Iowa returns to Carver-Hawkeye on Wednesday, when the Hawkeyes host Ohio State (14-6, 4-3 in the Big Ten).
