Welcome to our live blog, where we'll share updates, highlights, stats and thoughts on the game live from Iowa City.

Final: Iowa 85, Indiana 60. An all-around bad performance by Indiana drops its record to 13-4 overall and 4-2 in Big Ten play ahead of Tuesday's home game against Illinois.

1H 2:40 – Indiana trails Iowa 82-53 after another 3-pointer by Pryce Sandfort. Hoosiers have been completely uncompetitive in the second half.

1H 4:30 – Indiana hasn't shown any signs of potentially coming back in this game. In fact, it's only gotten worst throughout the second half. Iowa leads 76-50.

1H 9:05 – Indiana continuing to struggle throughout the second half as Iowa's lead has grown to 70-46 with. Its defense is allowing way to many open looks, and it continues to turn the ball over and miss shots on offense. Just a really poor performance all around from Indiana.

1H 13:17 – Payton Sandfort has caught fire. He's made a trio of 3-pointers in the second half, extending Iowa's lead to 25 points. Iowa is 9 for 16 from 3-point range tonight.

1H 16:02 – Timeout Indiana, trailing 57-38. Josh Dix now 4 for 5 from 3-point range. Hoosiers continue to turn the ball over and struggle to defend the 3. The first half did not go well for Indiana, and the second half is off to an even worse start.

Halftime: Iowa 43, Indiana 33. Iowa closed on an 18-5 run. Hoosiers turned it over 12 times with a mix of ill-advised passes and not being strong with the ball. Did not play well on the defensive end either. Rice leads all scores with 11, and four Hawkeyes have 8+ points.

1H 1:25 – Rice turned it over again, and Thelwell took it the other way on a fast break. He missed the layup, but Harding was there for the putback. Thelwell scored an and-one over Galloway, his second foul, on the following possession. Iowa leads 41-28.

1H 3:31 – Iowa responds to Indiana's run with a 10-0 run of its own to take a 35-28 lead, 3:31 left in first half. Hawkeyes 5 for 10 from 3. Indiana on a 3:07 scoring drought and has not done itself any favors with 10 turnovers.

1H 5:01 – Iowa ties it back up with a 3-pointer from Pryce Sandfort, then takes a 30-28 lead with a layup by Freeman. Tucker missed a corner 3, then had his shot block at the rim. Rice tried to find him in transition, but his pass was tipped. Indiana has nine turnovers.

1H 8:02 – Indiana on an 11-0 run now to take a 24-23 lead, timeout Iowa. Carlyle knocked down a 3, then Leal assisted Tucker for a fast break dunk. Hoosiers settling into this one after a shaky start. Iowa on a 3:23 scoring drought. That shot could be big for Carlyle's confidence. He was 2 for 19 from the field in his last four games entering tonight.

1H 10:22 – Tucker entered for Indiana and quickly knocked down his preferred shot, a mid-range jumper. Iowa's bench must have said something to Tucker that possession, because he turned around and talked back to them after making the shot. Rice's layup on the following possession cuts Iowa's lead to 23-17.

1H 11:25 – Indiana trails Iowa 21-13 at the under-12 timeout. Dix leads all scores with nine points, and Owen Freeman also playing well so far, with eight points and five rebounds. Iowa has 13 points off seven Indiana turnovers. Rice with seven points for IU. Hoosiers need to take much better care of the ball to have a chance in this one.

1H 13:19 – Iowa's Josh Dix is on fire from 3-point range to start, hitting each of his first three attempts. Iowa entered the game as the nation's second-highest scoring team, largely because of its 3-point proficiency. Iowa leads 21-8.

1H 14:38 – Oumar Ballo is very frustrated as he heads to the bench with zero points and four turnovers. Some Iowa fans were letting him hear it, too. Iowa leads 13-4.

1H 15:23 – Iowa leads IU 11-4 at the under-16 timeout. Indiana has been way too careless with the ball, already turning it over six times. Three turnovers by Ballo. Sandfort missed two good looks from three, or the lead could have been larger.

1H 16:51 – Ballo was calling four a foul, but instead its a turnover as Iowa's double team knocked the ball out of his hands inside. Thelwell went quickly the other way for a layup. Ballo was sloppy with the ball again, resulting in another turnover. Dix gets a shooter's roll from the top of the key for a three. Ballo turned it over again, leading to a fast break layup for Freeman. Iowa leads 9-4.

1H 18:59 – Rice fouled by Brock Harding on a drive on the first possession. Also beat him off the dribble almost immediately to begin the possession. Rice sank both free throws. Freeman beat Ballo off the dribble on Iowa's first possession but blew the layup. Mgbako missed a good look inside on a fast break thereafter. A little sloppy from both teams to start. IU leads 2-0.

6:53 p.m. – Indiana-Iowa starters: Myles Rice, Trey Galloway, Luke Goode, Mackenzie Mgbako, Oumar Ballo. Brock Harding, Drew Thelwell, Josh Dix, Payton Sandfort, Owen Freeman.

6:49 p.m. – Some pregame thoughts on the matchup. Can Indiana limit Iowa from 3? Hawkeyes are 14th nationally in 3s made per game. Indiana can run with Iowa a bit, but must limit turnovers doing so. I don't think Iowa has anyone who can hang with Oumar Ballo inside. Expect a high-scoring game.

5:45 p.m. – While Reneau and Newton won't play tonight, it's a good sign to see both of them lightly putting up shots and dribbling around as Indiana warms up for tonight's game. They're not exerting much energy doing so, but it's good to see them at least moving around and not just sitting on the bench.

4 p.m. – Indiana junior power forward Malik Reneau remains out for today's game, along with Jakai Newton and Gabe Cupps, who are out indefinitely. Reneau suffered an apparent right knee injury against Rutgers and did not play against Penn State or USC. Luke Goode has started in his place.
