Iowa stepped off quickly and held a 30-17 advantage at intermission time, but John Logan and Irvin Swanson found the range in the second period to give the Hoosiers a 41-40 edge with eight minutes to go. Vic Siegel, Rudy Soderquist and Jim O'Brien shoved the Hawks ahead and three Hoosier buckets tied the score at 46-46. Soderquist, Chapman and Milt Kuhl led another Iowa rally, but Everett Hoffman and Logan brought Indiana to within a point. With 30 seconds to eo.
