"We struggled on offense at the beginning of the second half," Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery said, according to Iowa Basketball."We got pretty decent shots, I thought. Didn’t make any of them. They went on a, 9-2, run… I thought they got comfortable in their offense. They got some really good one-on-one players. We started going a little too much one-on-one. We had two assists in the second half, with one assist at the two-minute mark.
