The Hawkeyes (17-10, 8-6 Big Ten) led wire to wire, shooting 50 percent from the field and placing three players in double figures. Aaron White led Iowa with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Peter Jok and Jarrod Uthoff chipped in 14 and 11 points, respectively.
Iowa's 50 percent shooting not only was a season high, but snapped a streak of 37 straight games holding an opponent under 50 percent shooting dating back to last February. The Hawkeyes also committed just eight turnover and enjoyed a 38-30 advantage on the glass.
Iowa jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead before the Huskers came back, pulling to within 10-5 after a Shavon Shields free throw with 14:41 left in the half. The Hawkeyes used an 8-0 run to extend the lead to 18-5 after consecutive Jok 3-pointers and force a Husker timeout.
Terran Petteway, who led Nebraska with 16 points, then got going after a slow start, as his putback and 3-point on the next possession keyed a 9-3 Husker run that pulled the Huskers within 21-14 after a Tai Webster layup.
That would be as close as Nebraska would get, as Aaron White took over from there. The Hawkeye senior scored seven straight points, as Iowa pushed the lead back to 14, at 28-14. After a David Rivers basket, the visitors closed the half on a 14-0 surge, as Anthony Clemmons had all six of his first-half points in the final three minutes as Iowa shot 52 percent from the floor, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range, in the opening 20 minutes.
Shields, who was held to three points to snap a nine-game string of double-figure efforts, hit the opening basket of the second half, but Iowa ended any Husker comeback hopes with a 6-0 run to push the lead to 30 points with 18:05 left and the Hawkeyes cruised down the stretch.
Walter Pitchford joined Petteway in double figures with 10 points, but the Huskers shot just 33 percent, including 2-of-18 from 3-point range.
The Huskers return to action on Thursday evening, as they travel to Ohio State. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN and on the Husker Sports Network
