RECAP

Hawks' dream season and #2 seed comes to a disappointing end against the Pac-10 regular season champion. In his last game as a Hawkeye,Luka Garza had 36 points to lead the Hawks, tying an Iowa NCAA tournament record set by Bill Logan in 1956. Joe Wieskamp scored 17 points.

Iowa fell behind by 10 points in the first half, when Oregon went on a 18-4 run in the final 4:18 of the half, and Iowa was never able to get much closer the rest of the game. Oregon finished the game with 11 three pointers and 10 dunks.

Since the 1987 Elite Eight team, Iowa has only won one game to advance to the Sweet Sixteen in the last 12 attempts (1999 was the only exception). It hasn't been to the Final Four since 1980, and hasn't won a Big Ten regular season championship since 1979.

HIGHLIGHTS

FULL GAME

PLAYER GAME QUOTES

When I came here my freshman year, we were one of the worst teams in the Big Ten, a laughingstock. Teams would come into our building and beat us by 30. There was no postseason for us. There was no March Madness....I was telling them the next time they get back here, I know they're going to be able to push us where we needed to go, I couldn't do it, but they can.
-- Luka Garza

We had big goals at the beginning of the season and we had hoped to go farther. We knew that we had the guys in the locker room that were capable of doing that, so to come up short just stinks for everyone.
-- Joe Wieskamp

It all hit me at once, looking up at the scoreboard and knowing I'll never wear this jersey again. I just feel heartbroken, with all the work I did that I couldnâ€™t lead this team to where it needed to go. Thatâ€™s going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
-- Luka Garza
