Minnesota is taking a lead over Iowa into halftime on the road in Iowa City. Luke Loewe added a dramatic exclamation point to the first half with a late buzzer beater vs. the Hawkeyes.
On the final play of the half, Iowa tried to get a heave downcourt in time for one final shot. Loewe picked off that pass and was able to unleash a halfcourt heave at the buzzer. He banked it in off the glass for a 38-34 lead for the Gophers.

On the other side, Iowa was led by Keegan Murray with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Hawkeyes shot 38.2% from the floor in a disappointing half on their home court.
