In the first half, Bohannon had three points, four rebounds, and three assists. The Hawkeyes are trying to boost their own seeding for the NCAA Tournament while a win would potentially put a dent in Ohio State’s hopes to land a No. 1 seed.

Along with his elite assists total, Bohannon is shooting right at 40% from three-point range during his career while averaging 11.4 points per game. Can he team up with Garza to lead Iowa on a deep March run to cap their careers?
