LIVE BLOG: Follow Indiana's Game with Iowa in Realtime

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Welcome inside warm and cozy Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, where it's nice and comfortable compared to those single-digit temperatures outside.

We've got a good one on Sunday, with No. 8 Iowa coming to town looking to avenge an 81-69 loss to the Hoosiers on Jan. 21. Iowa has lost three of four and desperately needs a win to keep their Big Ten title hopes alive.

Indiana desperately needs a win too, of course. The Hoosiers are just 9-8 overall and 4-6 in the league, losing two straight home games to Rutgers and Illinois after that Iowa win. The game tips at Noon ET on FOX. Here are all the details on how to watch the game: CLICK HERE

AND IT'S A FINAL!: Iowa's last-second play, a long pass to Luka Garza, bounces off the backboard. Jordan Bohannon chases the loose ball down but can't get a shot off befor the buzzer. Indiana wins 67-65. .... STORY/COLUMN TO COME

2:09 -- Armaan Franklin runs the clock down and then nails a 17-footer from the left elbow to pull Indiana ahead 67-65 with just 1.6 seconds to go.

2:07 – It looked like Rob Phinisee forced a jump ball, with Garza but he was called for a foul. Garza makes one of two. Iowa 62-61. Race Thompson scores on the other end, Indiana 63-62. Garza misses on the other end and Jackson-Davis rebounds. 40.5 seconds to go. He makes both free throws, but Jordan Bohannon hits a three to tie it. No timeout for Indiana.

2:05 – Now Race Thompson is fouled inside for Indiana. He makes the first but misses the second and the game is 59-58 Iowa with 2:25 to go. Garza scores again on the other side and it's 61-58. Rob Phinisee hits a three with 1:31 to go to tie it.

2:02 – Luka Garza makes two free throws. Tied at 57. Al Durham misses on a drive to the basket on the other end, but Trayce Jackson-Davis gets an offensive rebound and is fouled. Keegan Murray fouls out for Iowa. Jackson misses them both, though. He is now 1-for-5 from the line for the game. Garza scores on the other end at its 59-57.

1:57 – Al Durham makes both free throws and Indiana goes back up 57-55. Hoosiers are a perfect 5-for-5 from the line this half. Trayce Jackson-Davis blocks a Luka Garza shot, but Rob Phinisee turns it over on a bad pass on the other end. Iowa calls timeout with 3:28 to go. It's a two-point game.

1:55 – Armaan Franklin scores on a run-out on an assist from Rob Phinisee and the Hoosiers have their first lead of the day at 55-53. Jordan Geronimo fouls Luka Garza on the other end, and he makes both to tie it. Iowa in the double bonus now the rest of the way, 4:17 to go

1:53 – Trayce Jackson-Davis scores inside again, and is fouled. He makes the and-one and this game is tied at 53-53 with 6:06 to go

1:51 – Indiana's three starting guards, Armaan Franklin, Rob Phinisee and Al Durham, are a combined 1-for-20 from the field. That's a joke.

1:45 p.m. – We're at the Overture media timeout now, and the Hoosiers trail 50-48. Race Thompson and Trayce Jackson-Davis both in double figures now for Indiana, with 12 and 10 respectively. 7:38 to go. Indiana shooting 31 percent from the field and 25 percent from three, and they still only trail by two. That says a lot about how poorly Iowa is playing. They look like a team that's lost three out of four.

1:33 p.m. – Hoosiers score six straight to reel the Hawkeyes back in. It's 45-41 now with 11:56 to go. And a Trey Galloway three cuts it to one.

1:28 p.m. – Iowa is in the bonus already at the 13:14 mark, but Luka Garza misses the first one. Iowa leads 45-39. All four freshman in the game for Indiana, along with Race Thompson.

1:20 p.m. – We're at the first media timeout and Iowa leads 38-35. Indiana scores only two points in the first four-plus minutes, going 1-for-7 from the field. Three freshmen (Khristian Lander, Anthony Leal, Jordan Geronimo)back in after the timeout for Indiana.

1:15 p.m. – Luka Garza sat a lot of the first half after getting two early fouls, but he's been very active out of the break, as you'd expect. He's made two baskets and drawn two fouls.

HALFTIME – Whoa! A Khristian Lander steal leads to a Trayce Jackson-Davis dunk, and then he blocks a shot on the other end Lander hits a three. Suddenly 31-30. And then Anthony Leal hits another three-pointer and the Hoosiers somehow lead 33-31. What a turnaround, with Indiana going 6-for-7 down the stretch in the final two minutes there. We're at halftime. Iowa's Luka Garza has two points, and that's it.

12:53 p.m. ET – Anthony Leal left open in the right corner and he hits a three. Iowa 29-24 now.

12:48 p.m. ET – Finally, a couple of hoops for Indiana. Race Thompson hits a short jumper and Al Durham hits a three and was fouled by Jordan Bohannon. Media timeout, and Indiana has the lead cut down to six now at 27-21 with a free throw pending.

12:45 p.m. ET – Indiana now 5-for-26 from the field after Anthony Leal misses a three. That's 19.2 percent, folks, and a complete embarrassment.

12:40 p.m. ET – Still no Jerome Hunter in the game. He is on the bench, and he is dressed. Still waiting on the "coach's decision'' I suppose. The story. CLICK HERE

12:35 p.m. ET – Iowa's Fran McCaffery gets a technical foul for complaining about a block/charge call. Al Durham makes the free throw, but then Jordan Geronimo misses the front end of a 1-and-1. Third media timeout now and it's 23-16 Iowa with 7:52 to go. Indiana is 5-for-20 from the field, shooting 25 percent.

12:29 p.m. ET – Under-12 media timeout and it's 20-11 Iowa. Hawkeyes 7-for-10 from the field, 4-for-4 from deep. A couple of baskets off the Indiana bench for Jordan Geronimo might be the spark they need to get going here.

MY TWO CENTS: Those of you on social media complaining about Archie's offense, I get it. I'm not a huge fan either. But today, they've run a lot of good stuff and have had shots RIGHT AT THE RIM. They've missed seven of those such shots already. I'm sorry, but in my book, that's on the players, not the coach. You need to convert the easy ones. There's 12:30 to go in the first, and Iowa leads 17-7.

12:20 p.m. ET – First subs off the bench for Indiana are freshmen Jordan Geronimo and Anthony Leal. Iowa scoring at will though, and now lead 15-4. Archie forced to call timeout. Iowa is 6-for-9 from the field, and 3-for-3 from long distance. Indiana now with SIX missed shots at the rim.

12:15 p.m. ET – No shutout for Jordan Bohannon today. He hits a three at the 15:40 mark to give Iowa an 11-4 lead. He went 0-for-9 from the field against the Hoosiers in Iowa City, including 0-for-8 from three. It was the first time he had ever done that in his five-year career at Iowa.

12:05 p.m. ET – Indiana's first three shots were all right at the rim, and heavily contested. None of them went in. Foul concerns always when you're playing Luza Garza, and Race Thompson has picked up a foul in the first minute.

11:55 a.m ET – No C.J. Fredrick for Iowa today, still out with a knee injury. Iowa's starting five is center Luka Garza, guards Jordan Bohannon, Connor McCaffery and Joe Wieskamp, and forward Keegan Murray.

11:45 a.m. ET – Iowa goes off as a 3.5-point favorite, according to the DraftKings.com website.

11:40 a.m. ET – Iowa's Jordan Bohannon, a fifth-year guard, went 0-for-9 against Indiana in that loss a few weeks ago, but through the years he's been a thorn in the side of the Hoosiers. He's had three games with five or more three-pointers against Indiana in his career, and he's made 21 threes against the Hoosiers. Here's our story about him and what the Hoosiers need to do to slow him down. CLICK HERE

11:30 a.m. ET – Jerome Hunter is dressed and involved in pregame warmups. He was held out of Tuesday's game with Illinois as a ''coach's decision,'' so it will be interesting to see if he's going to be out on the floor for this game. They could sure use another big body against a team like Iowa.
