Luka Garza scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and the ninth ranked Hawkeyes pulled away down the stretch to beat the fourth ranked Buckeyes 73-57, their first win over a top five team this season.

The Hawkeyes responded after the Buckeyes cut a 14 point deficit to two, something they were unable to do in the first meeting with the Buckeyes in Iowa City.

The Hawkeyes move into third in the Big Ten with a record of 12-6. They host Nebraska Thursday.
