BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Iowa and Indiana each had shots in air at the buzzer Tuesday night, one in Iowa City and the other in Bloomington.
Either could have provided a valuable home-court win.
Neither went in.
But that's basically where the similarities end.
Iowa's No. 21-ranked host Hawkeyes enter Friday's 9 p.m. tipoff with Indiana were winners of four straight games (and nine of 11) before falling in the final seconds Tuesday against No. 24 Maryland.
Before that, the Hawkeyes (20-6, overall, 9-6 Big Ten) had become accustomed to prevailing at the end.
