Iowa men’s basketball defeated Truman State, 118-72, during an exhibition game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City on Monday.

Iowa forward Kris Murray led the Hawkeyes in points, scoring 24 total points and making two of five three-pointers.

“We got a lot of guys who can score and have big games,” Murray said. “And I think that’s where we’re most deadly at when we share the ball a lot.”

Freshman guard Dasonte Bowen earned the most assists on the team with eight in 20 minutes of playtime.

Bowen, in his first game in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, said ““It was definitely a lot different with fans there. I thought I played solid, I did my job.”

Iowa will face its first regular season game at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 7 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, competing against Bethune-Cookman.
