RECAP

The winner would clinch at least a share of the 1956 Big Ten crown, and earn the league’s NCAA berth. Illinois was leading the Big Ten in scoring at 93.6 points a game. Iowa was leading the Big Ten in defense, allowing 69.5 points a game. Bill Logan scored 26 points and 15 rebounds. Bill Seaberg added 19 points, Sharm Scheuerman 18, Bill Schoof 16 and Carl Cain 13 points including 18 rebounds.

Illinois was the nation’s No. 1 free throw-shooting team entering the game, but made just 12 of 21 attempts, and Iowa was 34 of 38.
