AM-1300 KGLO — Iowa men at Minnesota — pre-game 4:00, tipoff 5:00

 

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Caitlin Clark had 30 points and 11 assists, and Molly Davis added 18 points as No. 3 Iowa took sole possession of the Big Ten Conference lead with an 84-57 win over No. 14 Indiana on Saturday night, as you heard on AM-1300 KGLO. Iowa (17-1, 6-0 Big Ten) extended its winning streak to 14 games while snapping the 13-game winning streak of the Hoosiers (14-2, 5-1). Clark, the nation’s leading scorer at 31 points per game, didn’t need any last-second shots like the buzzer-beating 3-pointer that defeated the Hoosiers in last year’s regular-season finale. Instead, she shook off a slow start to record her 52nd career double-double. The Hawkeyes fed off a crowd of 13,000 fans who showed up on a night when travel wasn’t recommended throughout most of the state because of blizzard-like conditions.

 

 

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Audi Crooks scored 23 points, Hannah Belanger added 15, and their clutch scores in the final 30 seconds lifted unranked Iowa State over No. 4 Baylor 66-63 Saturday afternoon. Emily Ryan was fouled after making a steal and made one free throw to give Iowa State a 62-59 lead with 2 minutes to go. Jada Walker hit a jumper for Baylor and her two free throws gave the Bears a 63-62 lead. Crooks scored in the paint to put the Cyclones back ahead with 24 seconds left, but she missed a three-point opportunity and the score was 64-63. Belanger made two free throws with 10 seconds left and a 3-point try by Baylor’s Sarah Andrews was off the mark as time expired.

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS — The Iowa Hawkeye men will be in search of a third straight victory later today with a visit to Minnesota. The Hawkeyes are 2-3 in the Big Ten after a Friday win over Nebraska. Minnesota had a seven-game win streak snapped with Friday’s loss at Indiana. The Gophers are 3-2 in the league race and 12-4 overall.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who would become the school’s all-time leader in wins with a victory. He is currently tied at 271 with Dr. Tom Davis.

McCaffery says Davis has always been supportive of him and they remain friends.

McCaffery says his favorite things about coaching are the interactions with the players and preparing for games.

Tipoff tonight is scheduled for 5 o’clock with the pre-game at 4 o’clock on AM-1300 KGLO.

 

 

 

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Tamin Lipsey scored 17 points to propel Iowa State to a 66-42 romp over Oklahoma State on Saturday night.

Eric Dailey Jr. had 12 points to lead Oklahoma State.
