Bohannon, who eclipsed the mark of nine accomplished twice by Chris Kingsbury in 1994, went 10-for-16 from long range and added five assists. His 10 3-pointers were tied for second-most in conference history, one shy of the record 11 made by Michigan State’s Bryn Forbes in 2016.

The Hawkeyes led by as many as 37 points in the second half and scored more points than any Maryland opponent in the history of Xfinity Center.
Iowa’s 19 3-pointers — on 34 attempts — tied the school record set against Savannah State in 2018 and were three more than the Hawkeyes had ever made in a Big Ten game.
Fatts Russell had 20 points and six assists and Hakim Hart added 19 points for Maryland (11-13, 3-10), which lost its fourth straight game.
