Joe Wieskamp scored 21 points, including five 3-pointers, and grabbed seven rebounds as No. 15 Iowa pounded Michigan State 88-58 on Saturday in Big Ten Conference action in East Lansing, Mich.

Jack Nunge posted 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists and Connor McCaffery added 16 points for the Hawkeyes (15-6, 9-5 Big Ten). Starting guard CJ Fredrick was a late scratch due to a leg injury.

Iowa won the first meeting at home this season, 84-78, on Feb. 2 as Luka Garza racked up 27 points and 12 rebounds. The rematch quickly turned into a romp even though Garza contributed a season-low eight points on 3-of-11 shooting. He scored at least 16 in each of his first 20 games.

Gabe Brown's 15 points led Michigan State (10-8, 4-8), which had won its previous two games. Aaron Henry tossed in 13 points and Joshua Langford added 11.

Iowa shot 49.2 percent from the field and made 13 of 25 3-point attempts. The Spartans shot 35.5 percent and made just 6 of 21 from long range.

The Hawkeyes took over the lead three minutes into the game and built it to a 46-27 halftime advantage. They made seven 3-pointers in the first eight minutes, including a trio during a 13-0 outburst midway through the half.

Connor McCaffery and Wieskamp got the run going with triples and Patrick McCaffery finished it off with a layup for a 33-13 lead.

A Connor McCaffery layup gave Iowa its biggest lead of the half at 44-23. He combined with Wieskamp for 20 first-half points and half of the team's eight 3-pointers. Henry's eight points led Michigan State at the break.

The Spartans scored the first two baskets of the second half but any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished.

Iowa scored the next 14 points to make it 60-31. Wieskamp sparked that run with back-to-back treys, sandwiched around a Michigan State turnover. Nunge had five points during that span.

A layup by Nunge with 6:52 left pushed Iowa's lead to 30 points at 73-43.
