Caitlin Clark scored 30 points — for the 30th time in her career — and No. 8
Iowa shut the
Nebraska Cornhuskers down in the second half to cruise to an 80-60 victory.
Monika Czinano added 20 points and seven rebounds on 10-for-13 shooting, with four of her makes assisted by Clark. Iowa shot 54% from the field in the victory, including 10-of-20 shooting from behind the arc as a team.
Iowa's victory pushed the Hawkeyes to 22-5 and 14-2 in the Big Ten with two games left to play. Iowa remains in second place in the B1G behind No. 2
Indiana, and is now guaranteed no worse than a third-place finish in conference play.
As refreshing as a 20-point victory is
after the last time the two teams met, it could have been even more lopsided. Iowa went on a 17-0 run that took up most of the fourth quarter, ballooning the lead to 78-49 before the Huskers finally hit a flurry of threes at chips-and-salsa time.
