Iowa drills Iowa State

Jeff Stell

-Iowa drilled Iowa State 78-53 Saturday night at

Hilton Coliseum and the final stats show how the

Hawkeye domination.

-The Hawkeyes outrebounded the Cyclones 47-24 and had

a big 9-0 advantage in three-point shots made. Besides

not making a three-pointer, the Cyclones also missed

11 free throws.

-“We got beat in every category tonight,” Cyclone

coach Larry Eustacy said. It’s no big story, Iowa is

just a much better team. It was a lot of experience

over a lot of youth.”

-Reggie Evans was a magnum force for the Hawkeyes,

scoring 24 points and snaring 17 rebounds. Evans

collected 13 rebounds on the defensive end as the

Cyclones were limited to one shot on several

possessions.

-“We haven’t gotten pounded on the boards like that in

a long time,” Eustachy said. “Reggie (Evans) is just a

great player.”

-The Cyclones shot just 34.7 percent from the field,

including the dismal 0-for-8 finish from three-point

range. Tyray Pearson led the Cyclones with 20 points

while Shane Power added 17 points and nine rebounds.

-The 25-point margin of defeat evens the largest for a

Cyclone team in Hilton Coliseum. The other 25-point

loss was a 105-80 defeat to Vanderbilt on Nov. 29, 1975.
