IOWA CITY, IOWA (AP) -- Jarryd Cole had 16 points and 10 rebounds in his final home game and Iowa stunned No. 6 Purdue 67-65 Saturday, putting the Boilermakers' hopes for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament in jeopardy and clinching the Big Ten title for top-ranked Ohio State.

Bryce Cartwright and Matt Gatens each added 13 points for the Hawkeyes (11-19, 4-14), who snapped the Boilermakers' seven-game winning streak and took down their first ranked opponent this season.

Cartwright then hit a floater that bounced up and in with 31 seconds left to put the Hawkeyes ahead 65-61. Purdue's Lewis Jackson answered with a layup, but Gatens raced down the floor and hit two game-icing free throws with 6 seconds left.

JaJuan Johnson had 22 points and 12 rebounds for Purdue (25-6, 14-4), which went 5 of 25 from 3-point range and shot just 36.2 percent from the field.
