MINNEAPOLIS — An Iowa native says the Big Ten is expecting more records set at this season’s Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament in Minneapolis. Megan Kahn is from Newton and is the Big Ten Vice President of Women’s Basketball. It is the second straight year the Twin Cities serves as host.

Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeye women are setting attendance records wherever they play and Kahn expects the Big Ten Tournament to be no different.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) — JJ Quinerly scored 22 of her career-high 31 points in the second half, including West Virginia’s last 11 points, and made a critical defensive play in the last minute as the No. 24 Mountaineers defeated Iowa State 84-78. The Cyclones were down 79-76 and had the ball as the final minute approached. West Virginia had the offense stymied and when Emily Ryan drove to the basket, Quinerly tied her up for a held ball turnover. Quinerly then hit a jumper on the ensuing possession and added three free throws to ice the game. At 3:33 and 2:06 of the fourth quarter, she hit 3-pointers when Iowa State was within two points. Audi Crooks matched her career high with 25 points in a second-straight game and had a career-high 16 rebounds for the Cyclones.

The Spurs’ mascot, The Coyote, captured the bat with a net after numerous failed attempts, much to the delight of Wembanyama and Jeremy Sochan.
