The Iowa Hawkeye men dialed up the defensive pressure and beat Rider 83-58. The Hawkeyes forced 20 turnovers in moving to 5-0.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Rider entered the game with a record of 3-1 but made only one of 16 from three point range.

Payton Sandfort scored 22 points and Owen Freeman added 19 as the Hawkeyes overcame a slow start offensively.

The Hawkeyes played without starting guard Josh Dix, who injured a wrist in last Friday’s game against Washington State.
