The Iowa City venue was buzzing with excitement as the home team showcased their scoring efficiency. The Hawkeyes shot an exceptional 62 percent from the field and an impressive 77 percent on two-point attempts. Their prowess in scoring was complemented by a strong defensive performance, recording three blocks and ten steals over the course of the game.

On individual performances, it's worth noting that every player who stepped on court for Iowa contributed to this victory. The team capitalized on turnovers, converting them into ten crucial points which helped maintain their lead throughout.
The Maryland Terrapins did not go down without a fight though; they managed to score half a century inside paint and secured more total rebounds than Iowa with a count of 40 compared to Iowa's 33. However, they struggled beyond the arc with just an eleven percent success rate from three-point land.
Despite these efforts by Maryland, it was clear that night belonged to the Hawkeyes as they led for most of the game after only one lead change occurred early on. The visiting team also had higher personal fouls count at twenty-five against seventeen by Iowa which may have disrupted their rhythm further.
