Iowa made 12 three pointers and won at Rutgers 76-65.

(Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hansen on the Hawkeye Network) After starting Big Ten play 0-19 from the field sophomore Payton Sandfort broke out with 22 points, including four of five from three point range.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Senior center Filip Rebraca had another double-double. He finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds.

The Hawkeyes closed strong after Rutgers sliced Iowa’s 18 point advantage to five in the second half.

The Hawkeyes are 2-3 in the Big Ten and Rebraca talks about Iowa’s three game home stand that begins Thursday night against Michigan.

Rebraca says a fast start was a key on Sunday.
