In last night's other Big Ten games --

Iowa stayed unbeated with its victory over Indiana. "They're very good," Indiana coach Kathi Bennett said. "Every kid can score. Crystal Smith is so good. She's lightning." Smith had 24.

Purdue went to Madison, and Wisconsin led for much of the game, but the Boilermakers pulled it out. "We were scrappy, we implemented some new defensive things and the players responded," said Badger coach Lisa Stone. "It's just unfortunate that it was ripe for the picking and we just couldn't take it tonight."•

Angelina Williams made an amazing turnaround jumper with 7 seconds left to give Illinois a two-point win over Michigan. Said Williams: "I just willed it in."

And here in Minnesota, the Gophers beat Northwestern in a sluggish game. April Calhoun had a strong performance, and McCarville had 13 and 14.
