No. 5 Indiana 69, Iowa 65: Cody
Zeller had 19 points and 10 rebounds to help the visiting Hoosiers
earn a victory over the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten opener for both teams.
Indiana (13-1) was up eight at
halftime, but Iowa wouldn't go away. The Hawkeyes remained close throughout until
the Hoosiers' free throws down the stretch held them off.
Victor Oladipo added 14 points
and 10 rebounds for Indiana, which won the rebound battle 45-36
against an Iowa team that came in averaging 41.6 boards.
Iowa (11-3) was paced by Aaron
White's 15 points and Roy Devyn Marble's 14 points and nine rebounds.
Marble was 1-for-14 from the floor, including 0-for-4 from behind the
3-point line, but hit 12 of his 13 attempts from the free throw line.
The Hawkeyes' 65-point effort was their fewest since a 75-63 loss to Wichita State on Nov. 21.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Indiana came into
the game hitting 42.1 percent of its shots from 3-point range, but
connected on just 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) against the Hawkeyes. …
Iowa freshman C Adam Woodbury fouled out for the first time in his
career. In his first 13 games this year, he hadn't committed more than three. … The Hoosiers get a week off before their next game, a
Jan. 7 contest at Penn State. The Hawkeyes jump from one top five team to
another, heading to Ann Arbor to face No. 2 Michigan on Sunday.
