Caitlin Clark scored 44 points and the 3rd-ranked Hawkeyes held off a late rally by 8th-ranked Virginia Tech for an 80-76 win in the Ally Tipoff, as you heard on KGLO. The Hawkeyes made only six of 26 from three point range but finished 18 of 22 at the foul line and outrebounded the Hokies 47-40. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder.

Kylie Feuerbach scored all eight of her points off the bench in a minute and 10 second span in the third quarter as Iowa built a 10 point advantage.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa Hawkeye men return to action tonight by hosting Alabama State. The Hawkeyes opened with a 110-68 victory over North Dakota while Alabama State dropped a 69-59 decision at Ole Miss.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Ten players saw 17 minutes of playing time against North Dakota and McCaffery says they are still in the process of defining roles.

After spending most of their life as teammates the Murray twins squared off as foes Wednesday night in the NBA. Keegan Murray played 31 minutes and scored nine points in Sacramento’s 121-118 overtime victory against Portland. Kris Murray went scoreless in nine minutes of action for the Trail Blazers.

IOWA CITY — Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins says depth on the defensive line has been a big factor for the Hawkeyes improving run defense. That unit will be tested on Saturday by a Rutgers ground attack that ranks second in the Big Ten by averaging nearly 185 yards per game.

Higgins says the defensive line is allowing the linebackers to run free.

With three games remaining the Hawkeyes control their own destiny in the Big Ten West. Senior linebacker Kyler Fisher.

Kickoff is slated for 2:30 on Saturday afternoon with the pre-game at 12:30 on AM-1300 KGLO

 

 

 

 

AMES — Iowa State will try to hand BYU a rare home loss at night when the teams collide in Provo Saturday night. Both teams are 5-4 overall but the Cougars are 4-0 at home.

That’s sophomore safety Malik Verdon who says the coaches have emphasized BYU’s success at home.

With two road wins already in the Big 12 senior linebacker Gerry Vaughn says the Cyclones look forward to the challenge.

Kickoff in Provo is scheduled for 9:15 Iowa time on Saturday night.
