Final - Iowa 73, Penn State 49
Iowa and Indiana appear on a natural collision course next week for first place in the Big Ten.
The Hoosiers had no problem setting the pace on Tuesday with a double-digit win at Michigan. Wednesday, Iowa stayed in lockstep with a methodical 73-49 win against Penn State at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa, which is ranked fifth by the Associated Press, dominated the game from the opening tip. The Hawkeyes built a double-digit lead within the game's first seven minutes and extended it throughout the game.
Center Adam Woodbury grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (18-4, 9-1 Big Ten). Forward Jarrod Uthoff, the Big Ten's leading scorer, led the Hawkeyes with 14 points. Peter Jok and Anthony Clemmons each added 12.
Penn State shot 1-for-20 from 3-point range.
The Hawkeyes have their best 22-game start since the 1986-87 squad opened the season 20-2.
Iowa plays at Illinois on Sunday, then travels to Indiana (19-4, 9-1) on Feb. 11. The Hoosiers play at Penn State on Saturday
