Gabriel Olaseni (14 points and 10 rebounds) and Jarrod Uthoff
(10 points and 10 boards) each posted his second career
double-double for Iowa (10-1), which collected 19 offensive
boards and handily outrebounded Fairleigh Dickinson 54-32. Zach
McCabe added 10 points to round out the four Hawkeyes who scored
in double figures.
Mathias Seilund led the way with 19 points for the Knights
(3-9), who have dropped three straight by at least 15 points.
Sidney Sanders Jr. shot 5-of-20 from the field and ended up with
16 points.
Fairleigh Dickinson scored the first six points as Iowa missed
its first four shots, but the Hawkeyes fired back with the next
19 points over a 6:39 span to establish a double-digit margin
they did not relinquish. Following a stretch in which the
Knights hit four of their next five field goals, Iowa closed the
first half by scoring 20 of the final 30 points.
The Hawkeyes held Fairleigh Dickinson to one field goal over the
first seven minutes of the second half and continued to pull
away, leading by as many as 35. The Knights shot 32.3 percent
from the floor, becoming the ninth Iowa opponent to shoot under
40 percent.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Iowa, which improved to 8-0 against current
members of the Northeast Conference, has won 25 straight home
games against unranked opponents. …. Seilund’s scoring effort
ended Sanders’ 10-game run as the Knights’ leading scorer. … The
Hawkeyes finished with eight turnovers, the fourth time in the
last eight games they have committed eight or fewer.
