The Hoosiers (10-8, 5-6 Big Ten) snapped a two-game losing streak thanks to Franklin's heroics. Franklin, playing through an ankle injury, had struggled all game, making just 1 of his first 9 attempts from the floor before the game-winning shot. Trayce Jackson-Davis led Indiana with 17 points and 12 rebounds, posting his seventh double-double of the season.

Joe Wieskamp and Luka Garza led Iowa (13-6, 7-5) with 18 points apiece. Jordan Bohannon added 11 points, including a 3-pointer with 27.6 seconds left that tied the score at 65. Iowa has lost four of its last five after a 12-2 start to the season.

Indiana outscored Iowa 17-5 in points off turnovers, which helped the Hoosiers overcome a 35.9 percent shooting day from the floor.

Ben Krikke scored 15 points and the host Crusaders handed the 25th-ranked Bulldogs their first loss of the season in a Missouri Valley Conference contest in Valparaiso, Ind.

The Crusaders came close to pulling off the upset when these teams met Saturday, but the Bulldogs rallied for an 80-77 victory.
