Junior center Luka Garza, the Big Ten's leading scorer at 23 points per game, led Iowa (16-7, 7-5) with 26 points. But the Hawkeyes didn't provide much support around him, shooting 42.6 percent from the floor and 24 percent (6-for-25) from 3-point range.

Later in the half, Proctor connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to put Purdue up 36-18, while Haarms followed with a three-point play, extending Purdue's lead to 39-18.
