By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Feb. 9,2004 12:29 a.m.

Even a miracle tip-in to send it to overtime and a long three-pointer to send it to double-overtime couldn't save the Hoosiers Saturday as they fell 84-82 to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa sophomore guard Jeff Horner scored on a lay-up with 1.6 seconds left in the second extra period. The loss is the third straight for IU (11-9, 5-4 Big Ten), its second in a row at home. "It was just a back and forth game, and it came down to who wanted it more, and I think they just outplayed us," IU sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said. "Iowa wanted it more today. It was back and forth, and we had opportunity after opportunity to put them away, we just couldn't do it. They out-fought us today." The Hoosiers managed just two points in the second overtime, but the game was still within its reach. IU came up with a stop on a missed shot by Iowa senior guard Brody Boyd. But Horner pulled down the offensive rebound with 17 seconds left, pulled it out and then drove for the winning points for Iowa (12-8, 5-4).
