The #Hawkeyes looked much better defensively for a few sustained stretches vs the Irish - but it faded in the end https://t.co/chUTlBiRQx

2:56 2nd: Notre Dame 81, Iowa 67
Notre Dame appears to have this one locked up, having outscored Iowa 31-17 since the game was tied 4 1/2 minutes after the break.
The Irish are shooting 51.9 percent in the second half.
#Hawkeyes are gassed, and it's showing on defense. Notre Dame isn't doing anything complicated. Dribbling themselves open.

11:59 2nd: Notre Dame 60, Iowa 52
An 10-0 Irish run has Notre Dame back in control.
Half of those points came from Steve Vasturia, who now has 13.
15:36 2nd: Iowa 50, Notre Dame 50
It's a back and forth start to the second half.
Cordell Pemsl and Bonzie Colson are going back and forth, too, each getting technical fouls for a little jawing.
Pemsl has been quite a spark for Iowa in the starting lineup. He's up to 12 points and has made all five of his shots, with a chance for a three-point play at the line after the media timeout.
Cordell Pemsl is having himself a game. Iowa is hanging tough on the road. November 30, 2016

Half: Notre Dame 41, Iowa 39
The Hawkeyes haven't folded on the road.
Iowa closed the first half on a 13-0 run, capped by Peter Jok's corner 3, to get within two points of Notre Dame at halftime.
Jok has nine points at the break. Jordan Bohannon leads Iowa with 12 on 4-for-9 shooting from distance.
Notre Dame is led by Bonzie Colson's 10 points and nine boards.
Not too bad. Gotta lock up next halfNovember 30, 2016

2:36 1st: Notre Dame 41, Iowa 29
Notre Dame made five shots in a row to go up 38-24 as Iowa's interior defense has floundered.
Isaiah Moss scored five straight Iowa points before Jordan Bohannon hit a 3.
But the Irish have found their groove offensively, and a 15-of-16 mark a the free-throw line certainly helps.
7:36 1st: Notre Dame 25, Iowa 19
After a Nicholas Baer 3 cut Iowa's deficit to 20-17, the Hawkeyes had maybe their worst sequence of the first half.
Rex Pflueger buried a 3 from the corner with the shot clock winding down, then Steve Vasturia stole Dom Uhl's inbound pass and converted the layup for an eight-point Irish advantage.
Iowa has 9 total rebounds, and 4 of those were on the offensive glass by Baer, who has 5 total. November 30, 2016

11:42 1st: Notre Dame 15, Iowa 10
Jordan Bohannon's second 3-pointer gave Iowa a 10-7 lead, but Notre Dame followed with an 8-0 run.
The Irish have been all over the glass, grabbing five offensive rebounds of a possible nine in the first eight-plus minutes.
14:52 1st: Iowa 7, Notre Dame 7
With three new starters in the lineup, Iowa's defense already looks improved.
Notre Dame got off to a 3-for-8 start and turned it over three times in the first five minutes.
Cordell Pemsl, replacing the injured Tyler Cook, has four points for Iowa, while fellow freshman Jordan Bohannon contributed the rest with a 3-pointer.
Very impressed with backside help so far. It created two turnovers in the opening stretch. The ND putback was still a good D poss. November 30, 2016

Preview
• Iowa adjusting on the fly heading to Notre Dame
The Hawkeyes (3-3) look to bounce back from losses to Virginia and Memphis at the Emerald Coast Classic against the Fighting Irish (6-0).
And they'll have to do it without star freshman Tyler Cook. Cook is sidelined 3-4 weeks after breaking his right index finger, according to an Iowa release. He was averaging 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in six games.
