HOUSTON — A frigid start proved costly as the 6th-ranked Iowa State men lost at 2nd-ranked Houston on Monday night. Iowa State scored only four points in the opening 10 minutes and never led in a 73-65 loss in a first place showdown in the Big 12.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. The Cyclones fought back after the slow start and trailed 28-23 at halftime.

The Cyclones will play host to West Virginia on Saturday.

Iowa State drops to 9-4 in the Big 12 and 20-6 overall.

 

 

IOWA CITY — The Iowa men are on the road tonight in Big Ten play at Michigan State. The Hawkeyes have lost three straight on the road but had their chances down the stretch in all three.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says turnovers are costly against the Spartans.

The Breslin Center is one of the toughest Big Ten venues for visiting teams and experience helps.

The game will feature two coaches known for their longevity. McCaffery is in his 28th year as a head coach and his 14th with the Hawkeyes. Michigan State’s Tom Izzo is 69 and in his 29th season at the helm of the Spartans.

Iowa is 15-11 overall and 7-8 in the Big Ten. Michigan State is 17-9 overall and 9-6 in the league race. You can hear the Iowa-Michigan State game on AM-1300 KGLO tonight starting with the pre-game at 5 o’clock with the tipoff at 6:00

 

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves and point guard Mike Conley have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth about $21 million that would last through his 19th season in the NBA, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract had not yet been finalized. The 36-year-old Conley is in his first full season with Minnesota. He arrived a little over a year ago in a trade with Utah just before the deadline. Conley’s assist-to-turnover ratio is the second-best in the NBA.

 

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The scoring binge the NHL has been on the last few seasons spread to Minnesota on President’s Day Monday afternoon with hat tricks for Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov in a record-filled 10-7 win over Vancouver. Eriksson Ek and Kaprizov each had a six-point game that matched Marian Gaborik’s franchise mark. The Wild became the third team in the NHL this season to hit the 10-goal mark, following the Canucks and the Pittsburgh Penguins. They set their franchise record for goals in a game and period. They also had six goals in a 5:45 span for the fastest in the league in 25 years. The Wild moved within two points of the last wild card spot in the Western Conference by beating the NHL leader.
