Iowa scored the final eight points of the first half to take a 49-39 lead at the break. Patrick McCaffery highlighted the run with a fast-break slam following a blocked shot by Krikke.

Bowen scored on a fast-break three-point play and McCaffery followed with a 3-pointer for a 55-39 lead. McCaffery finished with 10 points.

Midway through the half, Arkansas State reduced the deficit to single digits as Dyondre Dominguez buried a 3-pointer.
