Stays hot in win over Huskies Stirtz produced 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 84-74 win over Washington.

Impact Stirtz has now reached the 20-point mark in each of his last five games. Meanwhile, Iowa is 5-0 in that span. It's not a coincidence; the Hawkeyes tend to go as their start point guard goes. He's been a lights-out shooter in that stretch, hitting 55 percent of his shots from the field and 45 percent of his shots from distance. If Iowa is going to continue to push for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament, Stirtz will need to stay hot -- especially with Purdue, Nebraska and Wisconsin all lurking back-to-back-to-back at the end of February.

Drops 20 vs. Trojans Stirtz posted 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 73-72 win over USC.

Impact Stirtz has 20 points in each of his last two games, but in the Wednesday night win over USC, the guard was much more efficient, shooting 50 percent both from the field and from beyond the arc. He had one of his quieter games as a passer, notching just two assists to four turnovers, but he did notch his most steals since Dec. 20. All in all, it wasn't the cleanest outing for Stirtz, but he continues to pack the scoring punch Iowa needs.

Scores 27 in rout of Hoosiers Stirtz closed with 27 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 74-57 win over Indiana.

Impact Stirtz doesn't appear to be slowing down a bit as conference play gets into swing, as the senior is averaging 21.2 ppg and 4.4 apg over his last five games. His effort here helped the Hawkeyes snap a three-game losing streak against a respectable program, and the team is looking good with respect to its NCAA Tournament status in the first year of the Ben McCollum era.

Purdue Coach Matt Painter: Iowa Star Bennett Stirtz Will be a '1st-Round Pick'

19 points not enough for upset Stirtz ended Wednesday's 79-72 loss to Purdue with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes.

Impact Stirtz played admirably against a rugged Boilermakers squad and, as has become the norm, was Iowa's leading scorer. However, he was cold from distance, hitting just 22 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. As a team, Iowa shot nearly 50 percent from three-point range in Mackey Arena, but the point guard couldn't get in on the long range barrage. Stirtz will look to help get Iowa back on track with what looks like a very manageable stretch ahead.
