Virginia Tech beats Iowa in overtime Tuesday night, 93-88 in Sioux City. Iowa had plenty of opportunities but couldn’t make free throws. The Hawkeyes shot 66% from the line, 31-47. Yes, they went to the line 47 times and still lost!
The game had a late-season feel, and it’s hard to be upset considering it is just the third game of the season. Iowa still needs to find a leader in late-game situations. Cooper Koch led the Hawks with 26 points but didn’t score a field goal in the last 8:56 of regulation.
Iowa is now 2-1 and will play Creighton on Sunday at Casey’s Center in Des Moines. Iowa State scored a big win over Southern on Tuesday; the Cyclones are now 2-1.
