No. 25 Maryland hounds Hawkeyes

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Ja’Kobi Gillespie scored 26 points, and No. 25 Maryland scored its most points in a Big Ten game since entering the league a decade ago, routing Iowa 101-75 on Sunday.

The starting five scored 95 points for Maryland. Derik Queen and Rodney Rice scored 18 points each, Selton Miguel added 17 and Julian Reese 16.

Pryce Sandfort scored 15 points for Iowa, which has lost four of five.
