Myles Tucker led NIACC with 25 points as the Trojans drop to 19-9 overall and 7-7 in the conference. Both NIACC teams travel to Ellsworth on Wednesday.

 

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sophomore Angel Reese finished with 25 points and 13 rebounds for her 14th double-double of the season to power No. 13 Maryland to an 81-69 victory over No. 22 Iowa. Reese sank 9 of 15 shots from the floor, hit 7 of 11 free throws and added two blocks and two steals for the defending Big Ten Conference champion Terrapins (18-6, 11-3), who grabbed a share of first place with their seventh straight win. Diamond Miller added 20 points and two steals, while Chloe Bibby contributed 16 points and eight boards. Caitlin Clark led the Hawkeyes (16-7, 10-4) with 19 points, but she made only 7 of 25 shots, including 3 of 13 from beyond the arc.

 

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has climbed to No. 6 in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll. That is the best ranking for the program in 20 years and it comes with big games against No. 14 Texas and No. 15 Oklahoma this week. South Carolina remained a unanimous No 1 in the poll, followed by Stanford, Louisville, N.C. State and Indiana. No. 7 Baylor and No. 8 Arizona follow Iowa State while Michigan fell from fourth to ninth after two losses. UConn dropped two spots to No. 10.

 

 

AMES — Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger says a lack of motivation is not an issue as the Cyclones get ready for tonight’s game at TCU. ISU is 3-9 in the Big 12 and has lost four straight games.

Otzelberger says after playing harder teams than all of their non-conference opponents, the margin of error is smaller in the Big 12.

Otzelberger says better offense will help on the defensive end.

TCU beat the Cyclones 59-44 in Ames last month
