RECAP

Hawks' dream season and #2 seed comes to a disappointing end against the Pac-10 regular season champion. Luka Garza had 36 points to lead the Hawks, and Joe Wieskamp scored 17 points.

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

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.

PLAYER GAME QUOTES

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 couldn’t lead this team to where it needed to go. That’s going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
-- Luka Garza
