Iowa came to the Twin Cities with a 12-2 record, with their only two losses coming at No. 7 Michigan State at No. 4 Iowa State under first-year head coach Ben McCollum. Tuesday was their first loss against an unranked opponent.
It marked the second court storm for Minnesota this season in year one under Niko Medved. Their Big Ten opener against No. 22 Indiana was their only other storm on December 3.
The Gophers have gotten off to a 3-1 start in Big Ten play, and they will be back in action on Friday night at the Barn against Southern California.
