The Hawkeyes finally started strong, but could not find a way to close it out
Unlike some losses this season, the one against Purdue had a lot of things go the right way.
The Hawkeyes traveled to West Lafayette, Indiana, for a primetime matchup against No. 5 Purdue at Mackey Arena.
Iowa got out to a great start, led at halftime, and even pushed its lead to as high as eight before things went sideways.
Bad shot selection and turnovers ultimately cost the Hawkeyes a chance to complete the upset, and while a lot of things went right for Iowa, one thing remained the same.
