3:33 2nd - Iowa 84, Marquette 49

New largest lead for Iowa (35) after a Dom Uhl three, then steal and Andrew Fleming layup.

Prior, another nice sequence for Peter Jok. Gets a steal and two-handed slam, then knocks down his fourth three of the night (4 of 6).

He's up to a game-high 20 points after missing the last game with a minor ankle injury.

FS1's Stephen Bardo saying this might be the best team in the Fran McCaffery era. It's early, but certainly an impressive performance tonight.

7:53 2nd - Iowa 68, Marquette 43

Largest lead for the Hawkeyes was 31.

Jarrod Uthoff leads all scorers with 13 points. Dom Uhl is up to 7 points after a quiet first half, including one of Iowa's nine 3-pointers.

"I tell you what, Dom Uhl is gonna be a player," FS1 analyst Stephen Bardo said. "Little bit of the same skill set has Jarrod Uthoff, and even Aaron White last year."

14:40 2nd - Iowa 57, Marquette 30

After things were looking up for Marquette to begin the half, Iowa goes on a 7-0 run to go up 25.

A Jarrod Uthoff 3-pointer entices another Marquette timeout. The Iowa senior is now tied for the game-high with 11 points.

15:39 2nd - Iowa 52, Marquette 30

Marquette, buoyed by three Iowa turnovers (it had just two in the first 20 minutes), begins the half on a 6-0 run in 1:33.

Fran McCaffery uses a timeout to try to settle things down and the Hawkeyes respond by going back up 22.

Mike Gesell up to nine points, three assists and three boards.

Half - Iowa 48, Marquette 21

Eight Hawkeyes have scored, led by Peter Jok's 11 points, and Iowa looks well on its way to a 3-0 start and first road victory.

Easier to insist now than a week ago, yeah, but I thought Iowa was undervalued in preseason Big Ten bkb rankings. Veteran team with talent.

Iowa is shooting 51.4 percent from the field and has assisted on 14 of its 19 field goals, to just 25.8 percent by Marquette.

The Hawkeyes have made 7 of 14 triples while the Golden Eagles are 2 of 19 and have turned the ball over 12 times.

3:38 1st - Iowa 38, Marquette 15

It's a rout. Hawkeyes shooting 53.3 percent, including 5 of 9 from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Marquette is at 29.2 percent and has missed 15 of its 16 3-point shots.

Plus, the Golden Eagles have turned it over 11 times for good measure.

7:56 1st - Iowa 28, Marquette 10

Marquette goes zone and Jok makes them pay with two threes, and he's now outscoring the Golden Eagles by himself (11-10).

Clemmons picked another pocket and had his layup block, but Ahmad Wagner was there to clean it up.

Marquette's ninth turnover resulted in an outlet pass to Clemmons, who threw down a one-handed slam.

It's 16-4 Hawkeye run.

11:50 1st - Iowa 18, Marquette 6

Couple of easy baskets inside extends the Iowa run to 6-0 and forces a Marquette timeout.

"You're seeing the inexperience of the Golden Eagles right now," FS1 analyst Stephen Bardo said after an Adam Woodbury bucket. "No communication on the baseline."

Golden Eagles are 0 of 8 from 3-point distance. Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski told his team during the media timeout they need to get the ball inside more to make those shots easier

Eight of Marquette's 11 shots are from 3-point range. Eagles missed all eight. That's not their strength, but Iowa post D is really good.

15:01 1st - Iowa 14, Marquette 6

Excellent start for the Hawkeyes, who have scored in a variety of ways coming from multiple faces.

Anthony Clemmons' steal and score got Iowa on the board and the Hawkeyes have already forced four turnovers.

Jarrod Uthoff and Peter Jok each knocked down 3-pointers and all five starters are in the scoring column.
