IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Aaron White had 20 points and a career-high 15 rebounds as Iowa came from behind to beat Nebraska-Omaha 83-75 on Sunday. Iowa (2-0) sunk 38 free throws to overcome 18 turnovers and a rough shooting night from the outside. Devyn Marble added 15 points for the Hawkeyes. Carter scored 22 points for Omaha (1-1). The Mavericks led for most of the game before faltering down the stretch.
The Hawkeyes looked lethargic and clumsy in the first half against Omaha — two days after a sharp performance in an 82-39 win over UNC-Wilmington. Iowa turned the ball over 12 times in the first half. Omaha routinely beat the Hawkeyes to loose balls and long rebounds. The Mavericks had 15 second-chance points in the half to lead 43-36 at halftime.
The Hawkeyes bench had 35 points. Zach McCabe scored 12 points and Clemmons added 11. Omaha’s Devin Patterson scored 13 points and John Karhoff added 11.
