RECAP

One of the most famous comeback games in Iowa history! Hawks down 22 points in the second half (trailing 61-39), but play pressure defense to force overtime, then win it in OT.

B.J. Armstrong hit a jumper to put Iowa up by one, then Brad Lohaus got a steal and hit 2 free throws to extend the lead to 3.
