IOWA CITY, Iowa — Josh Dix swished a game-winning 3-pointer just before the buzzer to give Iowa an 80-79 victory over Northwestern on Tuesday night in a Big Ten Conference opener for both teams. After Ty Berry went 1 of 2 at the free-throw line with 5.8 remaining to give Northwestern a 79-77 lead, Iowa got it past midcourt before calling a timeout with 0.8 seconds left. Brock Harding struggled to find an open teammate from the sideline before Dix came out well past the 3-point arc to swish a fade-away 3-pointer. Dix's teammates raced to surrounded him at the other end in front of the Northwestern bench, with fans coming onto the court in celebration.
