Iowa shot the ball at a 51.7 percent clip and churned out a 57.1 percentage in the sec- ond half alone, where it led by as many as 22. The Hawkeyes, who led the Big Ten in scoring last sea- son and relied heavily on the 3-ball to do so, only managed to hit six 3-point attempts against the Badgers. It was a matter of being aggressive and driving to the hoop, especially for players who normally thrive from be- yond the arc. Jordan Bohannon, one of the conference’s best shoot- ers from deep, made only one of his six attempts from 3-point range, but he scored 13 points and sank four of his six attempts from inside. Time and time again, Bo- hannon managed to squeeze past his initial defender up top and drive into the lane, throwing up floaters that dropped with consistency. The Hawkeyes kept their foot on the gas pedal and didn’t let up, because in al- most every conference game this season, Iowa’s opponents have gone on runs in which the Black and Gold proved unable to counter. “Growing up Wisconsin, I knew individually — and obviously, as a team — that they’re going to make a run,” Bohannon said. “They’re a bunch of tough kids that don’t give up … we knew we had to respond … we did a good job handling their de- 6 THE DAILY IOWAN | DAILY-IOWAN.COM | FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 2018 THE DAILY IOWAN | DAILY-IOWAN.COM | FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 2018 SPORTS 7 Track gears up for last indoor home meet After a successful Larry Wieczorek Invitational, Iowa’s track and field teams intend to continue their upward trend in the last home meet of the season.
