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.
