7:55 p.m. ET: Hoosiers will start Al Durham, Josh Newkirk, Rob Johnson, Juwan Morgan, De'Ron Davis.

15:53 1H: Indiana 7, Iowa 6 - Hawkeyes are just 2-for-8 from the field with three turnovers to start here, but both of their makes are from behind the arc.

10:56 1H: Indiana 15, Iowa 14 - Pretty dry game so far, neither team shooting great from the field. Six different players in the scoring column for the Hoosiers.

4:31 1H: Indiana 30, Iowa 20 - There hasn't been much to say about this game so far - really an ugly game on both sides - but IU just went on a great stretch to get the crowd (and writers) into it.

It started with a Juwan Morgan euro-step/layup in traffic that was very pretty. Then Devonte Green made a tough jumper and Robert Johnson made a three to push the Hoosiers ahead 10.

Halftime: Indiana 41, Iowa 26 - The half ends with Newkirk missing a layup in transition, but Al Durham hustled down the court, and put in the rebound just before the buzzer.

Newkirk grabbed Durham after the play smiling and hugged him.

IU ended the half on a 21-6 run. Iowa made just 2-of-12 field goals during that stretch.

Devonte Green leads all scorers with 10 points (4-of-6 shooting).

17:01 2H: Indiana 43, Iowa 37 - Hoosiers let Iowa get a little comfortable to start this half, which isn't good.

Hawkeyes had a couple open looks, on a 6-0 run and the halftime lead is trimmed from 15 to 6.

15:41 2H: Indiana 43, Iowa 42 - Wow, so, Hoosiers are 0-for-9 from the field this half. And suddenly the Hawkeyes have cut it to 1.

Just not the intensity you were looking for. Could have come out of the locker room and maybe extended this one to 20.

11:41 2H: Indiana 58, Iowa 50 - There we go. Hoosiers have responded to make 6 of their last 8 field goals, and they push the lead back out to eight.

Iowa still looks pretty comfortable on offense after the way the first few minutes went.

8:59 2H: Indiana 67, Iowa 50 - It's loud in Assembly Hall as Hoosiers extend their run to 16-2 over the last 4:21, punctuated by a Hartman three.

Nice job by IU. Iowa came crawling back, starting feeling good, and the Hoosiers responded to essentially - barring a massive collapse - putting the nail in the coffin.

2:02 2H: Indiana 77, Iowa 57 - Yep, as anticipated, Hoosiers will just run out the clock on this one.

Iowa's not very good, but, nice margin of victory for IU today. Four players in double figures scoring, including Morgan, Hartman, Green and Davis.
