Dylan Talley's tie-breaking, shot clock-beating 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds left sent Nebraska to a 64-60 victory over Iowa Saturday and put a dent in the Hawkeyes' NCAA tournament hopes. The Cornhuskers (13-14, 4-10 Big Ten) used a couple of big runs in the second half to come back from a 16-point halftime deficit and end the Hawkeyes' three-game win streak.
Talley scored 18 points and Shavon Shields added 17 for Nebraska, which shot 62.5 percent the second half and outscored Iowa 19-7 over the last 9:42. Iowa shot 28 percent the last 20 minutes.

FINAL: Nebraska trailed by as many as 19 points Saturday, but it took the lead for good on a field goal with 10 seconds remaining by Dylan Talley and hung on for a 64-60 win over Iowa at Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln. Talley poured in 18 points, while Shavon Shields chipped in with 17 points and eight rebounds and Brandon Ubel added 12 points and eight rebounds. Nebraska trailed 41-22 with 21 seconds left in the first half, and while a 15-4 run failed to give it the lead at the moment, it did narrow the deficit to 45-37. Aaron White had a good game for Iowa (17-10) in defeat with 15 points and 13 rebounds. The Cornhuskers also got double-digit contributions from Ray Gallegos (11 points).

That is the third late game three pointer Iowa has given up that will cost them a game…at MN and at Wisconsin

Unreal comeback by #nebrasketball today. Crushing loss for Iowa if Nebraska hangs on

Nebraska currently on a 30-14 run since Marble's 3 to put Iowa up by 19 in the final minute of the first half.

#Huskers have closed withing 53-48 and shooting free throws after this timeout at 7:19. Getting stops on defense most key in this run.

Iowa's offense in the second half looks like Nebraska's in the first half. Undisciplined
— Scott Dochterman (@ScottDochterman) February 23, 2013
Eric May playing the best ball of his career. Iowa leads 51-42 with 11:30 to play
— Hawkeye Nation (@hawkeyenation) February 23, 2013
Eric May continues to make big plays for #Hawkeyes. He's a guy who maybe didn't live up to potential, but he's finishing strong.

Nebraska's 12-4 run closes it to 45-37. Husker crowd into it. Sounds more like Devaney-Carver Center now.

Nebraska's cut the lead to 45-37. Here's the push. Now – will the defense be there?

Shields being aggressive early in the second half and goes to the line for 2 shots…

They looked like they are playing for something.

HALFTIME: Aaron White scored 10 points for Iowa, and the Hawkeyes lead Nebraska 41-25 at the half. Iowa helped its cause in the first 20 minutes by hitting all nine of its free throws and limiting Nebraska to 34 percent from the field. Devyn Marble scored eight points for the Hawkeyes, who also received six points from Eric May on a pair of 3-pointers. Ray Gallegos leads the Huskers with 10 points, while freshman Shavon Shields added five points and a game-high seven rebounds. Dylan Talley, Nebraska's leading scorer, has just two points in the first half.
Iowa, the team that couldn't shoot straight from 3-point distance, has made 9 of its last 16 threes.

Iowa's halfcourt trap is just befuddling Nebraska.
— Brian Rosenthal (@GBRosenthal) February 23, 2013
#Hawkeyes already with 12 bench points, compared to 0 for Nebraska. Iowa 7-7 from the FT too.
— Iowa Men?s Basketball (@IowaHoops) February 23, 2013
At this rate, @CoachMiles' halftime tweet should be interesting. Ugly start for the #Huskers.
— Brent Yarina (@BTNBrentYarina) February 23, 2013
Iowa's subs are taking Nebraska apart, with help from the Huskers' rotten free throw-shooting.
— Mike Hlas (@Hlas) February 23, 2013
Iowa is terrible near the basket, missed 4 close layup-types. Still leads 12-9.
— Scott Dochterman (@ScottDochterman) February 23, 2013
Enough Iowa fans here to make it hard to tell who the home team is. Gesell dribbles, you hear boos. Gesell scores, you hear cheers.

#Iowa #Hawkeyes freshman Mike Gessell getting a warm welcome from #Nebraska #Huskers fans. #Boo

White very aggressive early on for Iowa at the offensive end.
— Brendan Stiles (@thebstiles) February 23, 2013
Asked Coach McCaffery if his team had a sense of urgency…'We'll find out." #Hawkeyes

Iowa Starters vs. Huskers: Mike Gesell, Roy Devyn Marble, Aaron White Melsahn Basabe and Adam Woodbury

Good crowd at Devaney so far. About one-third the fans are from Iowa. It's also Tom Osborne's 76th birthday, FWIW
