(AP) --  Matt Gatens scored 16 points, Devan
Bawinkel broke out of a scoring slump with a season-high 15 and
Iowa snapped a four-game losing streak with a 78-65 victory over
Northwestern .
 

Aaron Fuller added 13 points and 11 rebounds and Jarryd Cole
also scored 13 for Iowa (9-16, 3-9 Big Ten), which delayed
Northwestern's bid for a school record-tying 17th regular-season
victory.
 

Michael Thompson's 20 points led Northwestern (16-8, 5-7), while
John Shurna scored 16. No one else had more than seven points for
the Wildcats, who fell behind by 15 in the first half and never
rallied.
 

Bawinkel, who had scored only 12 points in the previous six
games, hit four of his first five 3-point shots and finished
5-for-8 from long range. It was his first game in double figures
since he scored 11 against Prairie View A&M on Dec. 5.
