Stirtz scores 22 as Iowa beats Washington 84-74, extends win streak to 5 games
SEATTLE (AP) --- Bennett Stirtz hit four 3-pointers and finished with 22
points, Alvaro Folgueiras scored 16 points, and Iowa beat Washington 84-74 on
Wednesday night for its fifth consecutive win.
Tavion Banks had 11 points and Cooper Koch also scored 11, all in the second
half, for Iowa (16-5, 6-4 Big Ten). Banks missed a free throw with 29 seconds
left in the first half to break his streak of 30 consecutive made free throws
--- four shy of the program record set by Chris Street (1993) and Jordan
Bohannon (2018).
Hannes Steinbach had 20 points and 12 rebounds for Washington (12-11, 4.-8) and
his 15 double-doubles this season are the most by a freshman in program
history. Isaiah Stewart had 14 double-doubles for the Huskies in 2019-20.
Zoom Diallo had 16 points, a career-high 12 assists and six rebounds and Wesley
Yates III scored 15 points for Washington.
Franck Kepnang threw down a dunk that gave the Huskies a seven-point lead with
18:41 left in the game but they went without a field goal for the next
seven-plus minutes. Washington was 0 for 6 from the field and committed two
turnovers during an 18-4 Iowa run that made it 63-56 with 12:59 to play and the
Hawkeyes led the rest of the way.
Washington shot 76.9% (20 of 26) in the first half --- the third-best shooting
half in the Big Ten since the 2018-19 season --- but made just 9 of 25 (36%)
from the field after halftime.
