IOWA IN THE BIG TEN TOURNAMENT
This week is the first time the Big Ten Tournament will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Iowa has posted a 15-18 record in Big Ten Tournament games. The Hawkeyes earned tournament titles in 2001 and 2006 and lost in the title game in 2002. Only Michigan State (28), Illinois (27), Ohio State (25), Wisconsin (23), and Michigan (18) have more wins and a higher winning percentage than the Hawkeyes. Michigan State has won five tournament titles, Ohio State has won four, Wisconsin has won three, while Illinois and Iowa have two tournament titles (Ohio State was forced to vacate its 2002 title).
Iowa has played 10 different teams in the event, having met each team except Nebraska, Rutgers, and Maryland at least once (Rutgers and Maryland played in their first Big Ten Tournament in 2015). Iowa (2001 as a No. 6 seed) and Michigan (2017 as a No. 8 seed) are the only teams to claim the tournament title by winning four games in four days.
Iowa has been eliminated by the tournament champion in four of the 18 tournaments it did not win, including Michigan in the 1998 quarterfinals, Michigan State in the 2000 quarterfinals and 2012 quarterfinals, and Ohio State in the 2002 title game.
The Hawkeyes, a seventh seed, lost to Indiana (95-73) in the first round of the tournament a year ago.
MAKING THE GRADE
Five Hawkeyes were named to the Fall Semester Dean’s List: Nicholas Baer, Brady Ellingson, Connor McCaffery, Jack Nunge, and Charlie Rose. To be eligible for the Dean’s List, students must receive a 3.5 or higher grade-point average (GPA) on at least 12 graded semester hours. It was the first time that each student-athlete earned Dean’s List distinction.
BIG SECOND HALVES FOR THE HAWKEYES
Iowa has scored 50 or more second-half points seven times this season, including four of its last eight games (50 at Nebraska, 57 versus Minnesota, 51 versus No. 4 Michigan State, and 63 at Minnesota). The 63 second-half points at the Golden Gophers on Feb. 21 are the most by the Hawkeyes in a half of a Big Ten game since scoring 63 at Michigan on March 4, 1989.
The last time Iowa scored 63 or more points in the second half of a Big Ten game, The Cosby Show was the No. 1 rated television show, Major League and Field of Dreams were released in the movie theaters, gas was $0.97/gallon, and minimum wage was $3.80.
Other Iowa games this season netting 50 points or more include Louisiana (54), Southern (50), and Drake (50).
DIRECTING THE HAWKEYE OFFENSE
Sophomore Jordan Bohannon, an honorable mention all-Big Ten honoree, has had a solid sophomore campaign, dishing out a team-best 166 assists, and averaging 13.2 points. He is averaging 2.8 3-pointers made per game, which ties Shep Garner of Penn State for first in the league and 54th in the country. His 3-point percentage of 42.4 percent also ranks 37th nationally. He has made five 3-pointers or more in a game eight times, with six of the eight times coming in games played away from home.
The native of Marion, Iowa, has six 10+ assists games in his career (Indiana, South Dakota, TCU, Ohio State, and Wisconsin), which ties Cal Wulfsberg for the most by a Hawkeye in program history. His six career double-doubles — all in points and assists — are the most in program history.
Bohannon is one of three players from a major conference with 300+ assists and 150+ made 3-pointers through their sophomore season in the last two decades joining Duke’s Jay Williams (2000-01) and Chris Thomas of Notre Dame (2002-03). Additionally, he is the only player nationally over the past 25 years to register 150+ assists and 80+ 3-pointers as a freshman and sophomore.
Bohannon, one of five players named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team in 2017, led the Hawkeyes in assists (175) and 3-pointers made (89), and was third in scoring (10.9 ppg). He was one of only two freshmen in the nation over the last 25 seasons to register 175+ assists and 85+ 3-pointers. His 89 triples shattered Iowa’s single-season freshman record, besting Matt Gatens’ previous mark of 52 set in 2009. Bohannon’s 175 assists are the most by an Iowa rookie and rank eighth-best by any Hawkeye player in a single season. He finished the season by posting a school-record three straight double-doubles in points and assists (Indiana, South Dakota, and TCU).
BOHANNON TIES CHRIS STREET’S CONSECUTIVE FT MADE RECORD
Jordan Bohannon made 34 consecutive free throws from Jan. 4-Feb. 25 to tie Chris Street’s school record for consecutive makes in 1993. Bohannon had an opportunity to break the 25-year old record in the final minutes against Northwestern on Feb. 25.
The Hawkeye sophomore chose to miss on purpose to preserve Street’s name in the record books. After the game Bohannon said, “it was not my record to have; life is bigger than basketball.”
The legendary Chris Street owned the consecutive free throws made school record, making 34 straight over a span of six games (Jan. 2-16, 1993). Street’s streak ended when he was killed in an auto accident on Jan. 19, 1993.
Bohannon’s season percentage (.890) ranks second in the Big Ten. Bohannon was 37-of-39 from the charity stripe in 18 Big Ten contests, missing at Indiana (Dec. 4) and versus Northwestern (Feb. 25).
GARZA SHINES IN FRESHMAN CAMPAIGN
Freshman Luka Garza leads the team in blocked shots (1.0), and is second in rebounding (6.3), double-doubles (4), free throws made (88) and attempts (130), and is third in field goal accuracy (.554) and scoring (11.8). His 6.3 rebounding average and 55.4 shooting percentage ranks first and third, respectively, among Big Ten freshmen this season.
Garza’s numbers are much better in home games, averaging 14.8 points (.626 FG%), 6.9 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in Carver-Hawkeye Arena compared to 9.1 points (.479 FG%), 5.8 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks on the road.
Garza has made 72 of his last 91 free throws (.791), including a stretch of making 14 straight free throws, after starting the season 16-of-39 (.410) from the charity stripe. He posted a team-high 19 and 17 points against No. 3 Purdue and Wisconsin, respectively. He also snagged 16 boards to register his fourth double-double in the victory over Wisconsin; the 16 rebounds are the most by a Hawkeye in a single game since Adam Woodbury had 18 against the Badgers on Feb. 24, 2016.
Garza has netted double figures in 13 of Iowa’s last 21 games. He poured in a game-best 22 points (10-of-16 FG, 2-2 FT) at No. 22/21 Michigan. Garza netted 17 of his 19 points in the second half and overtime and snagged 11 rebounds for his third double-double in Iowa’s come-from-behind-victory at Illinois on Jan. 11. He was a perfect 9-of-9 from the foul line against the Fighting Illini.
Garza had a stellar performance against Northern Illinois, going 8-of-8 from the field, including making all three 3-pointers, and going 6-of-8 from the charity stripe, scoring a personal-best 25 points. He also denied a season-best five shots. His performance earned the forward Big Ten Freshman of the Week laurels.
Against Chicago State on Nov. 10, Garza became the second Hawkeye in the last 20 years to register 16 points and five rebounds in their debut (Aaron White in 2011).
Garza followed up that performance against Chicago State (16 points, 5 rebounds) with a double-double against Alabama State. The native of Washington, D.C., had 11 points and a game-best 13 rebounds. Garza is the fifth Hawkeye to post a double-double in either his first or second game over the last 20 years, joining Dean Oliver, Reggie Evans, Devon Archie, and Aaron White. Garza’s efforts garnered the forward Big Ten Freshman of the Week accolades.
15 DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Iowa players have posted 15 double-doubles this season, led by sophomore Tyler Cook’s seven. Luka Garza has four, followed by Jordan Bohannon (3), and Nicholas Baer (1).
Cook’s seven double-doubles are the seventh most among Big Ten athletes and the most by a Hawkeye in a single season since Adam Woodbury had seven as a senior in 2015-16. Garza’s four double-doubles are the most by a Hawkeye freshman since Aaron White had four in 2011-12.
COOKIN’ WITH TYLER
Tyler Cook, an honorable mention all-Big Ten selection, ranks first on the team in scoring (15.7), rebounding (6.9), and free throws made (113) and attempted (169).
He had the best game of his career versus UAB (29 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and 13-of-16 from the free throw line). Cook’s 28-point performance against Indiana on Feb. 17, was the most points scored by the forward against a Big Ten team in his two years as a Hawkeye.
Cook has registered 56 dunks this season (1.8 per game), including a season-best six in Iowa’s win over Drake on Dec. 16.
Cook is eighth in the league in field goal accuracy (.563) and tied for 11th in rebounding (6.9). The native of St. Louis has a team-best seven double-doubles to his credit this season (Penn State, Illinois, Rutgers, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, and Northwestern). Cook has registered six double-doubles in the last 13 contests.
