LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) --- Cale Jacobsen came off the bench to score 13 of his 15
points after halftime and hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer in overtime, and
ninth-ranked Nebraska matched its program record for wins in a season with an
84-75 victory over Iowa on Sunday.
Sam Hoiberg, who scored 15 points and had five steals on his senior day, hugged
teammate Pryce Sandfort near halfcourt as time ran out and then heaved the ball
high into the stands. He and his father, coach Fred Hoiberg, embraced and a
short time later the rest of the Huskers came out of the tunnel to salute the
sellout crowd at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Nebraska (26-5, 15-5 Big Ten) led by 10 points with five minutes left in
regulation but missed five of its next seven shots and a couple of late free
throws to let the Hawkeyes back in it. Kael Combs scored Iowa's last eight
points of regulation, including a second-chance 3-pointer that tied it 70-all
with 2.7 seconds left.
After Cooper Koch tied it at 75-all in overtime, Jacobsen made a 3 from the
corner and the Huskers went on to score the final nine points. The Huskers beat
Iowa (20-11, 10-10) for the first time in five meetings and split the season
series.
Sandfort, who transferred from Iowa after last season, scored 15 points and
Rienk Mast added 14 for the Huskers.
Combs and Koch had 18 points apiece for the Hawkeyes, who committed 19
turnovers.
Up next Iowa: The Hawkeyes are the No. 9 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and play Oregon or Maryland on Wednesday. Nebraska: The Huskers are the No. 2 seed and play Friday. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here and here (AP News mobile app).
