Impact Stritz and Cooper Koch fueled a 21-0 run with 3-pointers in the second half as the Hawkeyes pulled away. The 6-4 senior bounced back from being limited to 11 points in the season finale against Nebraska, but has only hit 27.0 percent of his 3-pointers over his last four games. He will need to shoot better for the Hawkeyes to beat Ohio State in the third round of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday. Stirtz scored 22 points on 8-of-11 from the field in the Feb. 24 win over the Buckeyes.
