Wisconsin earns 72-66 road win at Iowa to open Big Ten play
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- D'Mitrik Trice scored 20 points, including a crucial 3 with 20 seconds left, and No. 22 Wisconsin held off No. 14 Iowa 72-66 on Friday night in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams.
Ethan Happ had 13 points, seven boards and five assists for the Badgers (7-1, 1-0), who handed the resurgent Hawkeyes their first loss of the season.
With the Badgers up 65-63, Trice - who led the nation at 60 percent on 3s entering play - hit his 3-pointer.
Jordan Bohannon answered with a quick 3 for Iowa (6-1, 0-1), but Wisconsin was able to seal it at the line.
Freshman Joe Wieskamp blocked Trice's 3-point try and turned it into a 3-point play and a 61-60 Iowa lead on other end. Brevin Pritzl got open in the corner though, burying a 3 with 1:35 left to put Wisconsin back up by 2. Happ then got around Iowa's Luka Garza for a scoop to make it 65-61 with 51 seconds left.
Iowa opened the second half on a 16-9 run and led by as much as eight, but Wisconsin had it back even at 54-all with just over 8 minutes left.
Wisconsin returns to the Kohl Center on Monday to host Rutgers.
