AMES — It is closing in on two months since Iowa State won a basketball game and the Cyclones look to change that Tuesday with a visit to Oklahoma State. The Cyclones are 0-11 in the Big 12 but coach Steve Prohm felt his team showed progress on defense in Saturday’s 64-50 loss to Kansas.

Prohm says the key now is to sustain that effort each night out.

Prohm says as the Cyclones have returned to full strength they have done a better job of competing.

The Cowboys are 6-6 in the Big 12 and dropped out of the top 25 after splitting games against Kansas and Kansas State. It is an early three o’clock tip off in Stillwater.

 

 

 

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is keeping its women’s swimming and diving program after it had been among four sports the school planned to eliminate due to budget concerns brought on by the pandemic. Members of the women’s swimming and diving team filed a legal complaint against the school in September that argued eliminating their program violated a landmark gender equity law. School officials announced in August they were dropping men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s gymnastics and men’s tennis at the end of their 2020-21 seasons. Iowa still plans to eliminate those sports, other than women’s swimming and diving.
