Indiana Hoosiers at Iowa Hawkeyes

Bohannon, No. 21 Iowa hold off Indiana 76-70

Bohannon hit three 3s in overtime, including one with 20.2 seconds left, and 21st-ranked Iowa rallied to beat Indiana 76-70 in overtime on Friday night for its fifth win in six games.

"I've been doing this for a while, and I haven't seen much of this," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said of Bohannon. "He just keeps grinding."

Bohannon, whose 3 with 28 seconds left in regulation forced overtime, buried another one to put Iowa ahead 68-65 with 2:47 to go. De'Ron Davis answered with a 3-point play, but Bohannon hit a 3 off a loose ball with 2 minutes left to give the Hawkeyes a 71-68 lead. Cook's free throw with 1:10 left made it a two-possession game, but Morgan responded with a putback.

Indiana's defense forced Bohannon to jack up a 3 at the shot clock buzzer. But the junior calmly knocked it through, and after the game McCaffery was left to reminisce about how he thought Bohannon reminded him of Steph Curry during the recruiting process.

"We're going to keep going to him," McCaffery said. "He knows we're going to him, and he enjoys the moment."

Morgan had 15 and Langford scored 14 points for Indiana (13-14, 4-12), who've dropped 12 of 13. The Hoosiers might have cruised to the win if they hadn't shot 12 of 22 from the line.

"I thought we did enough offensively...to win the game," Indiana coach Archie Miller said. "Twelve of 22 is going to do you in on the road."

THE BIG PICTURE

Indiana: The Hoosiers hung with No. 10 Purdue until the very end, losing 48-46 on the road on Tuesday, and they hung with the Hawkeyes as well. It's been a trying Big Ten season in Bloomington, but could a strong finish be on the table? Indiana hosts 22nd-ranked Wisconsin and No. 10 Michigan State next week. "You've got to make your own breaks," Miller said.

REGULATION

The Hawkeyes shot just 4 of 20 from the 3-point line in regulation, allowing Indiana to maintain a slight lead for much of the second half. Morgan drilled a corner with 2:23 left to put the Hoosiers up 62-56, and Cook's tip-in pulled Iowa within two with 1:31 left.

Langford was called for charge on the next possession, but Rob Phinisee's steal and free throw made it 68-65 Indiana with 38.3 seconds to go. Bohannon answered with a contested 3 10 seconds later to give Iowa a reprieve.

DOLPH OUT

Iowa play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin was suspended Friday for the rest of the season for referring to Maryland's Bruno Fernando as "King Kong" on Tuesday. In describing the game's closing moments, Dolphin said the 6-foot-10, 240-pound African-American who was born in Angola "was King Kong at the end of the game." McCaffery, through a spokesman, declined to comment on the matter.

POLL IMPLICATIONS

Even with the win, Iowa could find itself on the outside looking in when Monday's poll comes out.
