MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin spoiled the last regular-season stop on Gene Keady's frustrating farewell season with a 64-52 victory over Purdue on Saturday, ensuring the first 20-loss season for the Boilermakers in the program's 107-year history.
Mike Wilkinson and Alando Tucker each scored 14 points -- Tucker's all came in the first half -- and Kammron Taylor added 11 for the 23rd-ranked Badgers (20-7, 11-5 Big Ten).
David Teague's 17 points led the Boilermakers (7-20, 3-13 Big Ten). They will play at least one more game for Keady, who's retiring after 25 seasons at Purdue, at the Big Ten tournament in Chicago.
The Badgers recorded their third straight 20-win season, a first in their 107-year history, and secured a No. 3 seed in the conference tournament.
Before the game, Badgers coach Bo Ryan presented Keady with engraved golf clubs and a vacation package to Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis., site of last year's PGA championship.
Then, the Badgers gave Keady's team a rude welcome, jumping out to a 24-point first-half lead.
The short-handed Boilermakers were no match for the Badgers without Carl Landry, their leading scorer and rebounder who tore his right anterior cruciate ligament last week in Keady's last game at Mackey Arena.
The Boilermakers had trouble getting off shots in time and had more shot clock violations and airballs than baskets in the opening 12 minutes, when they fell behind 29-8. It took Purdue 13 minutes to reach double figures in scoring -- by that time Tucker, who didn't even start, had 14 by himself.
Iowa 74, Michigan 72, OT
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Greg Brunner scored 24 points and Adam Haluska added 17 to lift Iowa.
Jeff Horner also had 15 points for the Hawkeyes (19-10, 7-9 Big Ten), who won their third straight. Dion Harris scored a career-high 25 points, and Brent Petway added a career-high 16 for the Wolverines (13-17, 4-12 Big Ten), who have lost 12 of their last 13 games.
Iowa outscored Michigan 7-3 at the start of overtime to take a 70-66 lead with 1:02 remaining.
Graham Brown made a layup to cut it to 70-68, but Horner hit two free throws with 21 seconds to go to give the Hawkeyes a 72-68 edge. Petway tapped in a rebound with 10 seconds remaining to trim the margin to 72-70.
Mike Henderson sealed the win with a layup with four seconds to go.
Indiana 77, Northwestern 55
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Roderick Wilmont made his first five 3-pointers, for a career-high 20 points, and Indiana finished with 12 3-pointers.
Bracey Wright added 14 points and Robert Vaden 12 for Indiana (15-12, 10-6).
Northwestern (14-15, 6-10) was led by Vedran Vukusic with 22 points, and Mohamed Hachad with 10, but still lost its 33rd straight at Assembly Hall.
