Iowa def. Tennessee State, 67-62
A men's college basketball team that needed a win, got a win Tuesday night in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, but it sure didn't come easy.
Coach Todd Lickliter's Iowa Hawkeyes had to scratch and claw and scratch some more to get win No. 6 in 2009-10, a 67-62 win over a very quick and exceptionally athletic Tennessee State squad out of the Ohio Valley Conference. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak to Big Ten Conference opponents for the Hawkeyes.
The difference in the game - the Hawkeyes' final non-conference date of the year - was Iowa sophomore forward Aaron Fuller, who scored a career-high 24 points and matched his career best with nine rebounds. Fuller's night included 10 straight points - which sparked a 14-2 Iowa run - during the first half when Iowa was trying its best to deal with the Lions' full-court pressure and its quickness to the ball.
