Iowa’s offense was sputtering, so the 18th-ranked Hawkeyes vowed to beat Wisconsin with defense.
That they did, posting a 68-62 win over the Badgers on Monday night.
Garza had 21 points and 18 rebounds as the cold-shooting Hawkeyes rallied from a 12-point deficit.
The Hawkeyes (15-5, 6-3 Big Ten) trailed 57-45 with 7:13 to play before going on a 19-2 run. Joe Toussaint’s layup and free throw with 1:20 to go gave Iowa a 60-59 lead, and the Hawkeyes did not trail again.
