Player Of The Game: Isaiah Moss

Since cracking the starting lineup against Notre Dame, Isaiah Moss has started to come into his own. He played a team-high 32 minutes last night against Stetson and had a career night.

Moss recorded career-highs across the board with 21 points on five three-point makes, six rebounds and two steals for the Hawkeyes. He quickly became the Hawkeyes top scoring option, alongside Cordell Pemsl, who dominated in the paint and finished with 21 points, too.

With Jordan Bohannon having another poor shooting night — 1-of-9 from the field and 0-of-3 from three — Moss stepped up.

Peter Jok’s lone three-point make was Iowa’s only other made three. Plus, his 13 points in the first half helped give Iowa a 16-point halftime lead.

Outside of his five threes, Moss also went 3-of-5 from inside the arc. He continued to thrive on catch-and-shoot situations instead of driving to the basket or creating for himself, but he did run the floor well on fastbreaks, as all three of his two-point makes were layups.

Cordell Pemsl dominated in the paint, as Stetson had no answer for him in his 22 minutes of action. Although, Pemsl has been a key player in Iowa’s game plan since Tyler Cook went down, but this is the first game Moss truly proved why he got moved to the starting lineup.
