Iowa needed overtime to post its first Big Ten win at Illinois, Thursday night. Iowa outscored the Illini 10-0 to start the extra session in a 104-97 win, a game they trailed by 20 in the opening half. Sophomore Jordan Bohannon led the Hawks with 29.

A key was free throws. The Hawkeyes were 33-40 at the stripe. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes stepped it up defensively after giving up 54 points in the opening half.

Iowa is now 1-5 in the Big Ten.
