Buzzer-beating three lifts Iowa

-

Caitlin Clark’s buzzerbeat­ing three-pointer lifted No. 6 Iowa to an 86-85 win over No. 2 Indiana.

Clark, who scored 34 points and added nine rebounds and nine assists, took the inbound pass from Kate Martin with 1.5 seconds left, dribbled once, and took an off-balance shot from the right side that rolled in as the horn sounded.

Visiting Indiana had held the Hawkeyes without a field goal in the final 1:30, taking an 85-83 lead on Mackenzie Holmes’ two free throws.

The Hawkeyes (23-6, 15-3 Big Ten), denied a chance to share the Big Ten title after Tuesday’s 96-68 loss to Maryland, stopped the 14game winning streak of the Hoosiers (26-2, 16-2) and finished in a tie with the Terrapins for second place in the conference.

at No. 1 South Carolina 73, Georgia 63:

Aliyah Boston had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Zia Cooke added 12 points as South Carolina completed a perfect Southeaste­rn Conference season with a victory over Georgia. The Gamecocks (29-0, 16-0) won their 35th straight and their seventh SEC title in the last 10 seasons.

No. 22 North Carolina 45, at No. 11 Duke 41:

Three players scored nine points and North Carolina went nine for nine from the foul line in the fourth quarter to deny Duke a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference championsh­ip in the lowest-scoring game in the teams’ 105 meetings.

at Wisconsin 78, No. 12 Michigan 70:

Julie Pospisilov­a scored 25 points and Wisconsin made 12 of 14 free throws in the final two minutes to beat Michigan. Maty Wilke added 15 points, Serah Williams 14 and Avery LaBarbera 12 with eight rebounds for the Badgers (1119, 6-12). Wisconsin had not beaten Michigan since 2014.

at Maryland 75, No. 21 Northweste­rn 59:

Jahmir Young scored 18 points and Don Carey added 13 to help Maryland wrap up an undefeated home season in Big Ten play.

The Terrapins (20-9, 11-7) finished 16-1 at home in Kevin Willard’s first season as coach, and they used unusually impressive three-point shooting to turn back the Wildcats (20-9, 11-7).

Maryland’s win also clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title for No. 5 Purdue.
