Iowa Blows past Minnesota 94-73

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Aaron White scored all of his 18 points in the second half and Josh Oglesby added a season-high 17 points as 14th-ranked Iowa blew past Minnesota 94-73 on Sunday.

Devyn Marble had 15 of his 16 points after halftime for the surging Hawkeyes, who moved into third place in the Big Ten behind Michigan State and Michigan.

Iowa (15-3, 4-1 Big Ten) overcame a 10-point deficit with a 29-10 run and outscored the Gophers 53-30 in the second half.

Andre Hollins had a game-high 20 points for Minnesota (14-5, 3-3). But Iowa held Hollins without a field goal in the second half in handing the Gophers their most lopsided loss of the season.

Last season, Iowa used a 37-10 run to erase a 16-point deficit and blow past the Gophers in Iowa City.

On Sunday, the Hawkeyes outscored the Gophers by 19 points in just 6 ½ minutes to notch its 20th straight home win - one shy of the Carver-Hawkeye Arena record.

An 11-0 run helped put Minnesota ahead 43-33 late in the first half, but Oglesby hit back-to-back 3s as the Hawkeyes got the deficit down to 2 by halftime.

Marble then caught fire, scoring 14 points in the opening 8:41 of the second half to help Iowa take a 71-59 lead with 11:19 left.

White's 3-point play with 4:35 left was a back-breaker for the Gophers, who missed all eight of their 3-point tries in the second half.

Austin Hollins had 13 for the Gophers, who came to Iowa City on a roll.

After pushing league leaders Michigan State to overtime in East Lansing, Minnesota beat No. 11 Ohio State 63-53 on Thursday for its third win in four games.

The Gophers started strong in this one too, keeping Marble and White scoreless for nearly 18 minutes in the first half. But Oglesby capped a brilliant half with an off-balance 25-footer that pulled the Hawkeyes within 43-41.

Oglesby, who missed the first 12 games with a foot injury, had 14 first-half points to keep the Hawkeyes in the game.

Iowa had a week off after a program-defining upset at Ohio State, which was likely a big reason why it looked so sluggish in the first 20 minutes. But Marble opened the second half with his first basket of the day and followed with a pair of 3s, waking up a sellout crowd and putting the Hawkeyes ahead 52-46.

Iowa is now a game back of Michigan for second place in the league - but it won't have to wait long for a shot at the Wolverines. Michigan hosts the Hawkeyes on Wednesday.
