HOUSTON — The NCAA Tournament South Region final between ninth-seeded Iowa and third-seeded Illinois on Saturday experienced an extended delay when the horn stuck with 7:43 remaining in the first half and the Hawkeyes leading 22-20.
The delay lasted more than 10 minutes, and when the game resumed, the center-hung scoreboard was no longer operational.
The Iowa-Illinois winner will advance to the Final Four in Indianapolis next weekend.
