MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sophomore Keegan Murray scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Iowa withstood a furious comeback by shorthanded Minnesota to beat the Golden Gophers 81-71. Murray sank 11 of 17 shots from the floor in notching his fourth double-double of the season for the Hawkeyes (13-4, 3-3 Big Ten Conference). Payton Sandfort scored in the paint to push Iowa’s lead to 66-46 with 10:24 remaining and after the teams traded baskets Treyton Thompson scored eight points in a 22-6 run to get Minnesota (10-5, 1-5) within 72-68 with 2:47 left to play. Jamison Battle’s 3-pointer pulled the Golden Gophers within 74-71, but Murray answered with a 3 for Iowa with 59 seconds to go and Bohannon made four free throws in the last 30 seconds.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Maddie Nolan scored 21 points — all on 3-pointers — and No. 11 Michigan routed No. 8 Maryland 69-49. Maryland coach Brenda Frese guided the team after her father, Bill, died of cancer Sunday morning. The Wolverines made their first seven shots from the field and led by 10 after the first quarter. Michigan star Naz Hillmon barely touched the ball as her team was building that lead. Michigan held the Terrapins to only three points in the second quarter and led 34-19 at the break. Maryland lost to the Wolverines for only the second time in 12 meetings.
