No. 23 Minnesota rallies past Hawkeyes

Austin Hollins hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds left, lifting No. 23 Minnesota to a 62-59 victory over Iowa on Sunday afternoon.

Hollins finished with 17 points to help the Gophers (17-5, 5-4 Big Ten) survive a rough second half and escape the scrappy Hawkeyes (14-8, 3-6).

With Minnesota trailing 59-57, the 6-foot-4 Hollins came off a screen to get open in the corner on an inbounds play and made the shot over 6-foot-1 Mike Gesell. Hollins then hounded Gesell in the corner on the other end to force the ball out of bounds.

No. 12 Louisville 70, No. 25 Marquette 51: At Louisville, Ky., Russ Smith scored 18 points, Peyton Siva added 14 and Louisville shot 52 percent to run away from No. 25 Marquette 70-51 on Sunday.

The lopsided outcome was somewhat surprising considering what was at stake for both teams in the Big East.

Marquette had an opportunity to take a one-game lead on Syracuse, but the Golden Eagles (15-5, 6-2) were left settling for a first-place tie with the Orange. The Cardinals (18-4, 6-3), meanwhile, moved a half-game closer to both schools with their second straight win, remaining in a four-way tie for third.
