Iowa led by as many as 10 points in the first half and survived a 12-2 run that knotted the game at 23. The Hawkeyes settled for a 31-28 halftime advantage after Joe Harris drilled a 3-pointer right before the break. Virginia claimed the lead for the first time at 32-31 on a layup from Tobey early in the second half.

After another basket by Tobey gave the Cavaliers a 41-39 advantage, the Hawkeyes took the lead for good on a 3-pointer from Marble. Virginia made one last push to close within 49-46 with 8:05 remaining, but a layup from Marble and a 3-ponter by McCabe capped a 9-0 run to help Iowa establish a double-digit lead.
