IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Morris Smith IV led five players in
double figures with 16 points and Texas-San Antonio stunned Iowa
62-50, snapping the Hawkeyes' 46-game winning streak in home
openers.
Terry Fields, Devin Gibson and freshman Melvin Johnson III each
added 12 for the Roadrunners, who opened the second half on a 17-3
run and never looked back in shocking the youthful Hawkeyes.
Texas-San Antonio (1-0) pushed a two-point halftime lead to as
much as 16 early in the second half, as Smith and Gibson buried
3-pointers to give the Roadrunners their first double-digit lead.
Iowa (0-1) pulled within 56-50 with just under 3 minutes left,
but Matt Gatens threw the ball away under the Hawkeyes' basket and
Texas-San Antonio iced it at the free-throw line.
Freshman Eric May had 13 points to lead the Hawkeyes, who last
lost a home opener in the 1962-63 season to Ohio, 62-54.
