battle 47-27 and scoring 42 points in the paint | Forum

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa, left for dead just two weeks ago, has found some life by figuring out to how play defense. Ozzie Albies Jersey .Peter Jok scored 21 points in his final game in his hometown and the Hawkeyes thumped rival Northern Iowa 69-46 Saturday for its third straight win.Nicholas Baer had 11 points with 11 rebounds off the bench for the Hawkeyes (6-5), who jumped all over the slightly favored Panthers early and never let up. Iowa led 34-16 at halftime after a 16-3 run, and it pushed that lead to as much as 27 early in the second half.The win was Iowas biggest over Northern Iowa (5-5) since it beat the Panthers by 32 in 2000 -- long before the Panthers improved so much that Iowa and Iowa State scrapped their home-and-home series with them for an annual doubleheader on a neutral floor.I just feel like we bought into (defense), Jok said. We just keep talking and our chemistry has been good.Jeremy Morgan scored 14 points and added nine rebounds for Northern Iowa, which shot just 27 percent. Morgan was 4 of 13 from the floor.When those shots arent falling, weve got to have a different level of toughness, Morgan said.BIG PICTUREIowa: Iowa again looked nothing like the team that lost to Nebraska-Omaha 98-89 on Dec. 3. It harassed Northern Iowas shooters out of their comfort zone, clogged up passing lanes and turned many of UNIs bricks into transition opportunities -- which isnt what the Panthers want to do. If Iowa can continue to play like it has the last three games while incorporating talented freshman Tyler Cook back into the lineup, the impending Big Ten season wont look so foreboding.Northern Iowa: Granted, Iowas defense had a lot to do with it, but the Panthers took some awful shots early, and the Hawkeyes put them in a hole they couldnt dig out of. Northern Iowa missed the shots it should have missed and many of the ones it shouldnt have. The Panthers will almost certainly have to win the Missouri Valley tournament to return to the NCAA Tournament.THE NUMBERSIowa freshman Cordell Pemsl continued his torrid shooting stretch, hitting all four of his shots. He had 10 points and five rebounds in 18 minutes. ... Iowa owned the boards as well, with a 43-29 advantage. ... Spencer Haldeman had 12 points and Wyatt Lohaus scored 10 for Northern Iowa. ... The Hawkeyes got 34 points from their bench. ... This was Northern Iowas second game scoring fewer than 50 points. Xavier beat the Panthers 64-42 last month.INJURY UPDATECook (broken finger) might play in Tuesdays game against North Dakota. He is averaging 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds. McCaffery will need to find ways to use Cook without disrupting his teams momentum moving forward.HE SAID ITBaer is just such a special player. Every time hes on the bench Im thinking of how I can get him back in. He has an incredible ability to come off the bench and impact right away, McCaffery said.UP NEXTIowa: Hosts North Dakota on Tuesday and Delaware State two days later to close out nonconference play.Northern Iowa: Has a big one on Wednesday at No. 7 North Carolina. Dont expect the Tar Heels to overlook the Panthers after losing to them as the top-ranked team in the country last season.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org R.A.
