That's a career high for Koch.

FINAL | Iowa 75, Maryland 64

Four players scored in double figures as the #Hawkeyes erupted for 50 in the second half.

Cooper Koch (19), Bennett Stirtz (17), Tavion Banks (12) and Cam Manyawu (10) provided the scoring punch.

Maryland: Adams 14, Watts 12, Coit 12.

After going 0-of-7 over eight games, Tavion Banks has now hit each of his last two three-pointers.

His perimeter game is an underrated missing piece to the Hawkeye offense that appears back on the menu.

H2 7:30 | Iowa 56, Maryland 47

At the end of Iowa's 21-0 run, it led by 17, 51-34.

The Terrapins have it down to 9.

The live line now favors Iowa by 18.5 points. Hopefully, you got it at -2.5 !

Living up to the username.

This team is unstoppable when they get on a roll.

Buzz Williams takes his second timeout of the current Hawkeyes' run.

It's now at 20-0 and lasted more than 20 minutes.

Iowa's lead is now 16 -- 50-34.

Dear Maryland,

Thanks for playing.

Tavion Banks converts an and-one. Iowa leads 45-34 thanks to a 15-0 run.

Since Manyawu's and-one at the 17:48 mark of the second half, Iowa is outscoring Maryland 12-3.

Stirtz hits an absolute circus shot and should've gotten an and-one too.

Hawks lead 39-34!

Iowa has it's first lead since 11:35 in the first half.

That Manyawu and-one should (and needs to) be a momentum-turner for Iowa.

Iowa is back up to a 6.5-point favorite.

HALF | Iowa 25, Maryland 26

Iowa trailed for more than 75% of the first half but pulls within one just before the break on an Isaia Howard three-pointer.

Iowa shot 11-of-27 in the opening frame but made 4 of its last 5 attempts & held Maryland scoreless over the final 2 mins.

H1 2:33 | Iowa 20, Maryland 24

The Hawkeyes seemed to have figured things out a bit. They're on a 6-0 run to cut the Maryland lead down to four.

And, they've held Maryland to just 1-of-last-9.

Iowa has gone from a double-digit favorite pregame to a 2.5-point favorite on DraftKings.

I think Vegas has more confidence in the Hawks than most fans right now.

Why not Crown? You can win $1 million!

H1 7:29 | Iowa 12, Maryland 21

Well, Iowa ended the run, but Maryland is shooting 8-of-13 and the Hawkeyes are struggling to scoring when the Terps can set their defense.

H1 8:58 | Iowa 10, Maryland 18

12-0 run for Maryland over the last 2:37. Too easy.

McCollum takes a timeout.

What's McCollum's message?

I know. Unacceptable. They need to have Pibb and a private chef ready for me. SMH. Don't they know THE Ethan Petrik from THE Quad-City Times is here? SMH!

H1 10:42 | Iowa 10, Maryland 11

Iowa's offense is coming almost solely from its defense right now. They have 8 points on 6 Maryland turnovers.

Sadly, I believe we have Pepsi products in the cooler.

H1 15:21 | Iowa 3, Maryland 3

We are combined 2-of-9 to start with three turnovers per side.

Might be a low scoring affair to kick off Day 2 in Chicago.

United Center is dead. Iowa struggles to get up for bad teams.

It's a recipe for disaster based on what the Hawkeyes have shown this year.

Great chance to change the narrative.

END Q3 | Iowa 36, UCLA 67

Iowa's offense has improved each quarter, but it doesn't matter.

UCLA is cutting through the Hawkeyes like a hot knife through butter. Bruins are shooting 61.4% from the field and 55.6% from three-point range.

I didn't think it was going to happen. Just felt like that's what they needed to do.
