 Gabriel Olaseni went 12-of-13 from the foul line and finished
with a career-high 18 points for Iowa (11-4, 2-0 Big Ten), which has
won eight of its last nine home meetings with Nebraska. Jarrod
Uthoff nailed three 3-pointers en route to 15 points and added seven
rebounds as the Hawkeyes shot 31-of-38 from the free-throw line to
improve to 2-0 in conference play for the first time since 2002-03.
Shavon Shields scored 14 of his 25 points in the second half for
Nebraska (8-6, 0-2 Big Ten), which shot 2-of-14 beyond the arc.
Terran Petteway contributed 11 points and six boards before fouling
out late for the Cornhuskers.
 Nebraska shot 57.1 percent in the first half but trailed by seven at
intermission thanks to nine turnovers and Iowa’s 15-2 advantage at
the foul line. The Cornhuskers quickly rallied within one before the
first media timeout of the second half and Shields scored six
straight points midway through the period to give Nebraska only its
second lead with 8:09 remaining.
Uthoff and Anthony Clemmons countered with 3-pointers on consecutive
possessions and White added a triple with 4:39 left to restore
Iowa’s seven-point edge. Shields answered with three free throws to
close the gap to 61-57, but the Cornhuskers missed their final 10
shots and the Hawkeyes sank nine of their last 10 foul shots –
including their final eight – to pull away.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Petteway extended his string of double-digit scoring
games to 25, the longest such streak for a Cornhusker since Tyronn
Lue had 36 straight during the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons. … With
his free throw to complete a three-point play late in the first
half, White broke the school record of 516 established by Roy Marble
(1986-89). He finished Monday 12-of-15 from the stripe. … Iowa
committed nine turnovers, marking only the third time it has tallied
fewer than 10.
