The Iowa Hawkeye men rallied from a 20-point second half deficit to beat Minnesota 90-85. The Gophers made 11 of their first 15 three point attempts and led 62-42 four minutes into the second half. It was the second biggest comeback in program history. Patrick McCaffery scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half.

Iowa went to a trapping defense in the second half.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes did a good job of chipping away.

Iowa improves to 6-7 in the Big Ten. Gopher center Dawson Garcia scored 18 first half points but left the game early in the second half with an injury and did not return.
