Wisconsin Sweeps Iowa with 109-104 Win

OSHKOSH, Wis. – The Wisconsin Herd swept a two-game series over the Iowa Wolves with a 109-104 comeback win on Saturday night at Oshkosh Arena.

Wisconsin (2-2) erased a 15-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter outscoring Iowa (1-4) 41-24 in the final period.

Iverson Molinar scored a team-high 19 points off the bench for the Herd making the deciding three-pointer with 28.3 seconds left. Molinar’s three came after Nojel Eastern’s dunk gave the Wolves their final lead of the night at 103-102. D.J.

Elijah Hughes made both free throws and Wisconsin then forced a turnover by Carton. Glen Robinson III then made both free throws to ice the game.

Eastern and Phillip Wheeler posted doubles-doubles as the Iowa duo each scored 20 points. Eastern pulled down 11 rebounds to tally his third consecutive double-double. Wheeler, who made his first start of the season, had 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the year.
