College Basketball: Iowa pounds Iowa State, 84-68

AMES – Iowa put a screeching halt to recent bad history in Ames, pummeling Iowa State 84-68 in a game that was never close.

Luka Garza posted his sixth double-double of the season – second straight — and 12th of his career (21 points and 11 rebounds). Garza topped 20 points for the seventh time this season and 19th time in his career.

Iowa made 10 3-pointers by six different players.
