Iowa 58, Purdue 48: Roy Devyn Marble and Aaron White scored 18 points apiece and the host Hawkeyes kept their NCAA Tournament hopes alive with the Big Ten victory.

Donnie Hale scored 13 points to lead four players in double figures for Purdue (13-15, 6-9). A.J. Hammons had 12 points and nine rebounds off the bench, D.J. Byrd scored 11 points and Ronnie Johnson finished with 10 points and six assists.
Iowa went the last 12:41 of the first half without a field goal, but still managed to take a 23-16 lead into the break. Both teams combined to score 10 points in the final 10:40.
Hammons opened the second half by converting a jumper, but Marble scored the first five points in a 7-0 run to put Iowa ahead 30-18. Purdue twice cut the deficit to six, the second time with 2:17 remaining, but Josh Oglesby hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead back to nine with 1:42 left.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Gesell is third on the team in scoring at nine points and second at 2.9 assists. … Iowa came into the game as the first Big Ten team to play six conference games decided by six points or less. … Purdue had its three-game winning streak ended against the Hawkeyes and lost for the second time in the last 11 meetings.
