Iowa falls at Minny 95-89.
Minny led 80-67 with 8:30 left, then went into hibernation and watched Iowa chip away at the lead until it was only 82-80 Minny with 1:30 left after a Roy Devin Marble, old school three point play (tip in).
After two made free throws by Minny's scatback Diendre Mathieu, a Hawkeye airball three by Josh Olgesby, one-of-two Gopher made free throws by Andre Hollins, Iowa's Mike Gesell (NTG) cut the lead to three with a contested driving layup with 51 seconds left.
Minny's man-of-the-minute, 62% free-throw shooter Maurice Walker would take over from there, sandwiching a pair of one-and-one makes around a defensive rebound as Minny ended the game with a touch of breathing room.

Well a Wiscy loss would certainly cement this as a two-team race for the title.

Indiana 29 - Wisconsin 19 at halftime @ Wisc....

A quick 5 minutes and the score is basically tied. Amazing what happens when Wisc doesn't miss all their shots.

= very slim. Probably the only reason they have a chance is their remaining schedule - Iowa, OSU, Nebraska, @UM. If they could sweep those 4 games, they'll probably get themselves in the conversation for the NCAA's.

That was interesting game - Minnesota only outscored Iowa by 4 in the first half and then 2 in the second half.
Minnesota eFG% - 72.45%
Minnesota OREB% - 31.82%
Minnesota FTR - 59.18%
Iowa eFG% - 56.25%
Iowa OREB% - 37.14%
Iowa FTR - 34.38%
Iowa also had 13 TOs to Minnesota's 14 TOs.

a hefty Wiscy fan holds up a "3" sign, presumably the handle on her weight.

IU is worthless.

EDIT: Minus the hat.

Wisconsin is strangling IU in the 2nd half. And they still haven't unleashed Kaminsky. Take the shackles off, Bo. Unleash Frank!

I'm bailing...Wiscy has outscored IU by 22 in the second half.

Watching this IU-Wiscy game is giving me flashbacks of our game against UW in the B1G game last year. Ice cold in the first half, couldn't miss in the second half.

How the hell do you give up 50 points in one half at the college level? That's just awful.
