When you play as well as Iowa did on the road in Eugene, Oregon, you aren't going to lose many games.

The Hawkeyes are on the road for two games in the Pacific Northwest against Oregon and Washington, and the road trip got started with a bang.

Iowa was stellar on both ends of the court, scoring 84 points on 59 percent shooting from the filed and 45 percent from beyond the three-point line in an 84-66 win over the Oregon Ducks.

As said on the Fox Sports 1 broadcast, when you get down to Iowa by 10 points, it feels like 20, and that was due to the Hawkeyes suffocating defense and a career night for Bennett Stirtz.

Stirtz's 32 points is a new career high, and it also gave him over 2,000 total points in his career.

The Iowa program now has four 2,000-plus point scorers in program history, including Luka Garza (2,306), Roy Marble (2,116), and Jordan Bohannon (2,033).
