IOWA CITY — A rash of ankle injuries for the Iowa Hawkeyes continued over the weekend. Tyler Cook is questionable for Wednesday’s game at Penn State after suffering an ankle injury late in the Hawkeyes win over 16th ranked Ohio State.

Pulling the redshirt off sophomore forward Jack Nunge is not an option. Nunge is dealing with a back injury.

Luka Garza scored 16 points, Tyler Cook had 15 points with eight rebounds and Iowa rolled past No. 16 Ohio State 72-62. This was the Buckeyes’ third straight loss. Ryan Kriener scored 11 points for the Hawkeyes, who have won three straight after a 0-3 start to league play.

Brown had 23 points to lead the Wildcats (12-4, 2-2 Big 12), who closed the game on a 10-2 run for their first road win of the year.

Iowa State, which hasn’t won since blowing out Kansas last week, was up seven with five minutes left. But Brown hit two free throws with 16 seconds left to make it 57-56 Iowa State — and Lindell Wigginton missed the front end of a subsequent one-and-one for the Cyclones.

Brown, who finished 9 of 20 from the floor, then drove through the paint for the game winner.

The Longhorns (14-2, 4-0 Big 12), who have won seven straight, used a 15-0 run in the third quarter to build a double-figure lead. The Cyclones rallied from 10 down in the fourth and had a chance to tie or win it at the end.

Iowa State made it a two-point game with 44 seconds left forced Texas into a shot-clock violation with 13.3 seconds to play. After a couple of timeouts, Holmes blocked a layup attempt by Alexa Middleton with five seconds to go. The Cyclones got the rebound but Bridget Carleton’s 15-footer was off the mark as time ran out.
