\n\tNo. 21 Wisconsin sloppy down the stretch as Iowa pulls off stunner:-<\/strong> Jordan Bohannon looked in the direction of his older brother, Zach, as he ran back up the court after hitting a three-pointer with 9 seconds left against Wisconsin, his sibling' s alma mater.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLittle brother hit a big shot for Iowa.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBohannon's 3 finished a frantic comeback from a nine-point deficit with 4:15 left, and the Hawkeyes brushed past mistake-prone No. 21 Wisconsin for a 59-57 victory Thursday night.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I said, 'Go Hawks,'" Bohannon recounted with a laugh when asked what he said to his brother. Zach and another older brother, Jason, both played for the Badgers.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"We were pretty much a Wisconsin family growing up," said Bohannon, who finished with 11 points. "This game meant a lot to me."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt also meant a lot to Iowa's long shot changes to make the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes (17-13, 9-8) have won three straight, including two on the road against ranked opponents.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"It never got more than three possessions (behind) — the most we were down was seven, there were still three minutes to go. Plenty of time," Iowa coach Fran McCaffrey said.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEspecially with all the opportunities squandered by Wisconsin.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Ethan Happ missed two free throws that could have sealed the win, Iowa's Peter Jok missed a jumper in the lane with 15 seconds left.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBut Cordell Pemsl corralled the offensive rebound and Bohannon hit the three from the left wing, stunning the crowd at the Kohl Center.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin fans aren't used to seeing the veteran team blow late leads.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

DEEP STAT: The Badgers tie the single-season record for most consecutive losses by a ranked team against an unranked team.<\/p>\n
