Iowa Loses 3rd Straight

 EVANSTON, Ill. (AP)

   Freshman Dave Sobolewski scored a
season-high 23 points, John Shurna added 17 and Northwestern won
its third straight, beating Iowa 83-64 on Thursday night.
    Reggie Hearn added 16 points, and all five starters scored in
double figures for the Wildcats (15-8, 5-6 Big Ten) in an easy
victory.
    Northwestern built a nine-point halftime lead and then blew this
one open, matching its longest conference winning streak since a
three-game run late in the 2008-09 season.
    Sobolewski passed his previous high by three points. Shurna set
the tone in the early going, and the Wildcats shot just over 56
percent overall while hitting 13 of 25 3-pointers.
    Aaron White led Iowa with 17 points and 12 rebounds, but the
Hawkeyes (13-12, 5-7) were simply overmatched.
