IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Newcomer Luke Garza led Iowa’s charge to a 92-58 victory over Alabama State, scoring 11 points to go with 13 rebounds Sunday. Though the freshman shot just 2 of 8 from the field, he added seven points from the free throw line on 11 attempts.

The Hawkeyes (2-0) found plenty of use out of their bench, as 10 players got at least 10 minutes of playing time. Few members of the team played more than 20 minutes — Cordell Pemsl saw the most time, getting 24 minutes on the floor while putting up 15 points and grabbing five rebounds. Thirteen Hawkeyes got out on the floor, including rarely-used Charlie Rose and Riley Till.

Iowa freshman Connor McCaffery missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle. But McCaffery could make his debut Thursday against Grambling State.
