But perhaps the main culprit was the same one that doomed Iowa in a loss at Michigan State earlier this season — the Hawkeyes couldn’t get the Bruins off the field. UCLA was 9-of-14 on third down.
Iowa shot 32 of 60 (53%) from the floor and made 18 of 40 (45%) from long range. Seven Hawkeyes made at least one 3. AJ Barnes scored 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting to lead Southern (0-2).
