IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Bennett Stirtz scored 25 points and Iowa beat Maryland 83-64 on Saturday to give coach Ben McCollum his first Big Ten victory.
Stirtz was 10-of-17 shooting with four 3-pointers. Cam Manyawu added 12 points and seven rebounds. Tate Sage also had 12 points with Cooper Koch scoring 11 for the Hawkeyes (8-1, 1-1 Big Ten), who were beaten by No. 7 Michigan State 71-52 in their conference opener on Tuesday.
Pharrel Payne had 17 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for his third double-double this season for the Terrapins (6-4, 0-1), who lost in coach Buzz Williams' first Big Ten Conference matchup. David Coit added 13 points and Andre Mills 11.
Iowa shot 54% and made 9 of 22 3-pointers while scoring 21 points off 18 turnovers.
The Terrapins went to the free-throw line 38 times, making 24, to 6 of 12 for Iowa.
A 14-point Iowa halftime lead quickly ballooned to 24 over the first five minutes of the second half after a 12-2 run with Manayawu leading the way with seven points. After scoring just one point in the first half, Manayawu had 11 of Iowa's first 16 in the second. Thereafter the lead never dipped below 17.
Stirtz scored 13 points in the opening half when Hawkeyes took the lead early and led by 17 midway through before going into the break ahead 44-30.
Maryland is host to No. 3 Michigan next Saturday.
Iowa plays at Iowa State on Thursday.
