Iowa State: The Cyclones didn’t let the Hawkeyes get away with it in the first half despite missing three-pointers.

Iowa: The Hawkeyes, who had been plagued by injuries all season, had a full lineup available for the first time this season, but coach Fran McCaffery kept a tight rotation, using only eight players.
