Iowa's second-round game is Monday against West Virginia.
IOWA CITY — It wasn’t the start to March Madness that or wanted, but in a month of survive-and-advance, the Hawkeyes did just that in a 91-65 win over in their NCAA Tournament first-round game Saturday. “I think the first quarter kind of frustrated maybe all of us in a way,” Clark said. “I feel like this is a game you want to come out and dominate from the start because this is what fuels your run. Like coach said, I think maybe we played with a little bit of rust.
That quarter in particular showed how dangerous the Hawkeyes are when they hit their stride. They came out on a 19-6 run that included five triples from five different players as Clark worked to stretch the defense and got inside to get to the free-throw line. With Iowa stringing together consecutive stops and the offense clicking, the lead seemed to balloon instantly. “I think that’s one of the best parts of this team,” Clark said, “We always are in a game no matter what situation it is.
