IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa women's basketball players Samantha Logic and Melissa Dixon have three seasons remaining in the black and gold uniforms, but the way the two freshmen played in Sunday's regular-season finale against Michigan, you would think it was their final home game.

Kachine Alexander's two triple-doubles in 2009 and Cara Consuegra's in 2000 are the only other triple-doubles in school history.

IOWA def. #16/15 WISCONSIN, 67-66
So maybe the game ball goes to Roy Devyn Marble, he of 11 points, eight assists, and a pair of steals.

 Maybe the game ball goes to Aaron White, the gritty and talented freshman who scored 12 and grabbed six rebounds, including a big one in the game's waning moments.

Maybe the game ball goes to Fran McCaffery, Iowa's second-year head coach who has guided Iowa to four wins over a Top 25 team thus far in 2011-12 and the Hawkeyes to their first sweep of the Wisconsin Badgers since the 1994-95 college basketball season.

No, the aforementioned are all great choices, but the recipient of the game ball for Iowa's 67-66 victory over No. 15 Wisconsin Thursday night on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena - Iowa's second straight win over a nationally ranked Big Ten Conference opponent - is an easier choice: Matt Gatens.

Draymond Green had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Keith Appling scored 20 points and No. 7 Michigan State beat No. 15 Wisconsin 69-55 on Thursday night to move back into a first-place tie with No. 6 Ohio State. RECAP & BOX SCORE

Tim Frazier led the Lions in points for the 21st time this season, tallying 18 points. Sophomore John Graham had a career night, adding 10 points and six rebounds.

A crucial three from Jermaine Marshall was able to maintain the lead to secure the win. RECAP & BOX SCORE

#9/11 Ohio State 75, Indiana 54
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- It was a startling contrast: One team so deep that it could afford to be without the Big Ten's leading scorer, the other struggling to try to compete and end a long skid. No. 9 Ohio State didn't have Samantha Prahalis, averaging 21.8 points a game in conference play and seventh in the nation in assists at 6.7 per game, because of the flu. But the Buckeyes got 27 points from Tayler Hill and major contributions from several others, never trailing in handing Indiana a 75-54 loss on Thursday night. "Other people had to step up a little bit," coach Jim Foster said. Plenty did. Amber Stokes added 14 points and a career-high seven assists, and Kalpana Beach matched a career high with 13 points. Ten players scored, 11 had rebounds and eight had assists in the rout. RECAP

Northwestern 63, #16 Nebraska 51
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Northwestern came into Nebraska's Devaney Center Thursday on a three-game skid, having never won in Lincoln and facing the No. 16 team in the nation. The Wildcats (14-12, 4-9) proved up to the tall task, turning in one of their best performances of the season in a 63-51 toppling of the Cornhuskers. Though it was an all-around outstanding team effort, Dannielle Diamant proved exceptional, posting a 19-point, eight-rebound effort. Classmate Kendall Hackney added 17 points, hitting on 3-of-5 attempts from long range and grabbing five rebounds. Northwestern handed Nebraska just its third loss of the year at home (11-3). "It was just a hard-fought game tonight," head coach Joe McKeown said after the game. "It was a great crowd and a great atmosphere to play in. I thought our defense was really good and we always tried to contest [Lindsey] Moore and [Jordan] Hooper. From the standpoint of playing a full 40-minute game, I thought we did a good job." RECAP

Minnesota 60, Illinois 53
Behind 19 points from freshman Rachel Banham and 12 points from senior Kiara Buford, the University of Minnesota women's basketball team took down Illinois, 60-53, Thursday night in Big Ten Conference action as it recognized its four seniors at Williams Arena. The victory improved the Gophers' record to an even 14-14 on the season and 6-8 in Big Ten action, while the Fighting Illini dropped to 10-17 overall and 4-10 in league play. Along with her team-leading 19 points, Banham added four rebounds, two steals, a block and an assist, while Buford tacked on seven rebounds, five assists and three steals to her 12 points in her final regular-season contest at Williams Arena. Fellow seniors Brianna Mastey and Jackie Voigt combined for 10 points and 10 rebounds, with Mastey putting up six points and pulling down six rebounds and Voigt getting four points and four rebounds in their home finale. Micaëlla Riché led the Gophers with a career-high eight rebounds to go along with five points, two steals and a career-best two blocks, and Kionna Kellogg pitched in eight points and five rebounds for the home team. RECAP

Iowa 58, Michigan 57
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Kamille Wahlin has gained a reputation for having a flair for the dramatic during her basketball career as a guard at the University of Iowa. On Thursday at Crisler Arena, Wahlin's stellar basketball resume earned another stripe when the senior nailed a game-winning 3-pointer with 48 seconds left to take down Michigan, 58-57. It is Iowa's sixth consecutive win. The Hawkeyes never led prior to Wahlin's clutch shot. "Kamille, obviously, big 3," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "It doesn't surprise me. I think this is the eighth time in her career that she's hit a shot in the last minute to put us up or ties the game." Wahlin paced Iowa with 18 points while playing all 40 minutes. Freshman Samantha Logic added 12 points while grabbing a career-high 18 rebounds and dishing out four assists. Morgan Johnson scored 11 points and pulled down eight rebounds. With just over two minutes left in the game, the Wolverines bolstered their lead to 57-49 after a quick four-point spurt. The outlook appeared gloomy for Bluder's Bunch, but instead of packing their bags, the Hawkeyes clamped down the defense and clawed back. RECAP

Michigan State 62, Wisconsin 46
MADISON, Wis. - A balanced offensive attack and a strong defensive effort led the Michigan State women's basketball team to a 62-46 victory at Wisconsin on Thursday night. The Spartans, who improve to 16-10 overall and move into a tie for fourth in the Big Ten at 8-5, were led by senior Lykendra Johnson who posted 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals in only 24 minutes. Joining her in double-figures was senior Taylor Alton and freshman Kiana Johnson who each chipped in 10 points and six rebounds. K. Johnson also added a team-high five assists and two steals, while Alton dished out three assists. Senior Porsche Poole added nine points and four assists. RECAP

Illinois 61, Indiana 60
Bloomington, Ind. - Lydia McCully's rebound basket with 0.6 seconds remaining gave Illinois a 61-60 victory over Indiana Sunday in Bloomington. The Illini led by as many as eight points in the second half, but trailing by four in the final minute, needed scores on its final two possessions to pull out the victory. Illinois (10-16 overall, 4-9 B1G) has now won four of its last six games, all of which have been decided in the final minute. Indiana (5-20, 0-12), meanwhile, is still is looking for its first Big Ten victory of the season. "At this point, we're used to close games and buzzer beaters," McCully said.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Samantha Logic scored 11 second-half points to help the University of Iowa women's basketball team surge past Michigan State, 74-57, on Sunday on Medicom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It is Iowa's fifth consecutive victory. The teams were tied, 30-30, at halftime, but the Hawkeyes turned up the heat during the final 20 minutes by shooting 53.6 percent from the field (15-of-28). Iowa improved to 16-10 overall, 8-5 in the Big Ten Conference; Michigan State dropped to 15-10, 7-5. Five Hawkeyes scored in double figures, led by Morgan Johnson with 18 points and seven rebounds.

Ohio State 80, Purdue 71
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Samantha Prahalis, the only senior on Ohio State's roster, has been through a lot of battles on the court. So it figured that when the No. 10 Buckeyes were badly in need of a bucket on Sunday against No. 16 Purdue, it was their most experienced player who supplied a dagger of a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left to pave the way to an 80-71 victory. Down as many as eight points earlier in the half, Ohio State fought back with a 12-3 run capped by a pair of free throws from Prahalis to take a 51-50 lead with 12:32 left. The teams then traded baskets and the lead to the finish. The Buckeyes (22-3, 9-3 Big Ten) finally took the lead for good on a hustle play. With a loose ball sitting on the floor between two Purdue players in the Boilermakers' backcourt, Prahalis swooped in, scooped it up and went the length of the court to put the Buckeyes up 67-65 with 4:07 remaining.

Iowa 75, Minnesota 58
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Earlier this week when asked what her team needed to do to replace the game-night contributions of Jamie Printy, Samantha Logic suggested quietly that everyone else on the women's basketball team at the University of Iowa needed to do just a little more than they would have before the Hawkeyes' all-Big Ten guard was lost for the season. Thursday night on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the multi-talented freshman guard from Racine, Wis., did exactly that and a little more for good measure to lead Bluder's Bunch to a convincing 75-58 victory over Minnesota in the Hawkeyes' annual "Pink Game" in support of the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Michigan responded with a 21-4 run to open up its largest lead of the game at 21-15 with 7:44 to go in the first half.

MADISON, Wis. -- University of Iowa freshman and Wisconsin native Samantha Logic returned home Thursday night in phenomenal fashion, leading the Hawkeyes past the host Badgers, 85-79, in overtime at the Kohl Center in Madison.

And she did all of that in front of about 100 friends and family from her hometown, Racine, Wis. "Sam, it's nice to see," said UI head coach Lisa Bluder. "For her to come home and be able to play like that -- I'm really happy for her." The Hawkeyes needed much more than just a great outing from Logic to knock off the Badgers; it was a total team effort. Freshman guard Melissa Dixon returned to action for the first time since being injured in the Jan. 2 contest at Ohio State. Dixon jumpstarted the Iowa offense when she returned to the court. RECAP
