IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa looked nothing like the team many thought could win the Big Ten during the start of league play.

The 21st-ranked Hawkeyes snapped out of their funk with a convincing win over the rivals who broke their hearts in last year’s Big Ten title game.

Jaime Printy scored 25 points, Kamille Wahlin added 18 and Iowa beat No. 20 Ohio State 89-76 Saturday to move back to .500 in the Big Ten.

Kachine Alexander had 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (14-3, 2-2 Big Ten), who snapped a three-game losing streak to the Buckeyes with a late 10-2 run after Ohio State had closed to 77-72 with 4:08 left.

Iowa shot nearly 50 percent from the floor after failing to crack 40 percent in its last four games.

“We came and played like we were playing last year, and it feels so good,” Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. “Our shooting was back to what we expect out of our players.”

Samantha Prahalis had 22 points for the Buckeyes (10-5, 1-2), who have dropped four of six.

Star Jantel Lavender tied a season low with 14 points while battling foul trouble in the second half, though she grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked four shots.
