It was a buzzer beater during men’s college basketball Tuesday night in Iowa City. Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hansen have the call on the Hawkeye Radio Network…

A three pointer by Josh Dix rescued the Hawkeyes in an 80-79 win over Northwestern in their Big Ten opener. It was a game the Hawkeyes led by 17 points in the opening half.

The Hawkeyes rallied late to snap a six game December losing streak in Big Ten games.

Iowa led by 11 at halftime but Northwestern roared back and led by six with just over two minutes remaining.
