Bennett Stirtz had a career-high 32 points Sunday night, and the Iowa Hawkeyes pulled away late for an 84-66 win at Oregon. It was Iowa’s fourth straight win. Stirtz made 12-of-15 shots, including four-of-six from three point range.

Stirtz felt the Hawkeyes set the done with defense.

The Hawkeyes shot 59 percent for the game and made 18-of-26 shots in the second half.

That’s Iowa coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeyes were efficient on offense and committed only five turnovers in the game.

The Hawkeyes are 6-4 in the Big Ten and will visit Washington Wednesday night.
