Austin Hollins hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining, lifting host Minnesota to a Big Ten victory over Iowa.

Hollins scored 17 points for the Gophers (17-5, 5-4 Big Ten).

With Minnesota trailing 59-57, the 6-foot-4 Hollins got open in the corner on an inbounds play and made the shot over Mike Gesell.

Hollins then hounded Gesell on the other end to force the ball out of bounds.

Andre Hollins, who had 15 points, made two free throws to stretch the lead to three, and Gesell’s tying attempt rolled off the rim.

Gesell had 11 points, and Aaron White and Zach McCabe each added 10 for the Hawkeyes (14-8, 3-6).

Neither team led by more than four points in the second half.
