Indianapolis ? Luke Recker couldn’t have asked for anything more. He beat the clock and his former team.

Recker made a 15-foot runner from the right corner as time expired his second straight game-winning shot to give Iowa a 62-60 victory over No. 23 Indiana in the Big Ten semifinals Saturday.

Recker was an Indiana Mr. Basketball who played for the Hoosiers before transferring after his sophomore season.

“I’ve never hit two like this in my career,” said Recker, who won Friday’s quarterfinal against top-seeded Wisconsin with a 13-footer with 1.4 seconds left.

While the Hawkeyes celebrated, officials huddled around a replay monitor to make sure Recker got the shot off in time. The ball appeared to leave Recker’s hands with 0.2 seconds remaining.

Recker finished with 17 points, including a game-tying three-pointer and the winner, as Iowa (19-14) advanced to the Big Ten title game for the second straight season.

Recker was booed throughout the game Saturday, but his reception wasn’t nearly as rude as the one he got in Bloomington last month when he made his return to Assembly Hall.

“I love this state. I’m very fond of Indiana,” said Recker, who played for Bob Knight for two seasons before leaving for Arizona, which he eventually left for Iowa. “But there’s that 5 percent of fans that, unfortunately, act in a classless manner that probably made this more enjoyable to win.”
