Iowa concluded a three-game homestand Monday with a 90-56 rout of Western Illinois at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City.
This Hawkeyes (7-2) dominated from the beginning. Iowa shot 58 percent from the floor during the first half, making 10 of its first 15 shots to jump out to a 24-8 lead. Overall, Iowa hit 50 percent of its field-goal attempts.
Iowa forward Jarrod Uthoff, a fifth-year senior, finished with a career-high 27 points on 10-of-16 shooting. He also pulled down nine rebounds.
Sophomore forward Dom Uhl also finished with 15 points and four boards off the Iowa bench.
Two other Hawkeyes seniors provided strong outings as well. Center Adam Woodbury finished with 10 points and four rebounds, while guard Anthony Clemmons compiled nine points, six assists and three of Iowa's 10 steals.
Western Illinois (6-2) got a team-high 12 points from junior guard Garret Covington, who shot 4-for-14 from the floor. The Leathernecks also received an 11-point, five-rebound showing from senior forward Tate Stensgaard. The visitors shot 34.8 percent on field-goal attempts.
Iowa now shifts its attention to in-state rival Iowa State, as the Hawkeyes will face the fourth-ranked Cyclones on Thursday at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. Western Illinois returns home to play Eastern Illinois on Saturday.
