Iowa forward Melsahn Basabe scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 75-54 win over Brown on Saturday afternoon. This was Basabe's second recorded double-double of the season, the other coming on November 14th against North Carolina A&T.
Basabe only scored a combined 16 points in five games, between the Nov. 14 game and Saturday's contest. This may have been the type of game to get Basabe some confidence back after a slow start to his sophomore season. Look for Basabe's numbers to start increasing soon.
