AMES — Two teams desperate for a win collide in Morgantown tonight as Iowa State visits West Virginia. The Cyclones are 3-7 in the Big 12 while the Mountaineers are 2-7. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger says he is not focused on how the outcome might affect their NCAA resume.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones will need to play with a sense of urgency.

Otzelberger expects both teams to be motivated.

Otzelberger says more patience and better shots will help the Cyclones score more points. They managed only 41 in Saturday’s loss at Texas.

 

 

IOWA CITY — Iowa women’s coach Lisa Bluder is not sure when McKenna Warnock and Gabbie Marshall may return to the starting lineup. Both have missed the last two games, including Sunday night’s 98-90 loss at 6th-ranked Michigan and may not be available Wednesday night when the Hawkeyes host Minnesota.

The Hawkeyes are down to seven healthy players right now.

With two starters out, Caitlin Clark had a career high 46 points in the loss at Michigan.

Clark believes in the long run it will make the Hawkeyes deeper.

Tipoff Wednesday night is scheduled for 6:30, with the pre-game at 6:15 on AM-1300 KGLO

 

 

 

 

IOWA CITY — Former University of Iowa men’s basketball player and longtime radio and TV color analyst Mac McCausland has died. The University of Iowa athletic department says McCausland died on Saturday of natural causes at his home in Las Vegas at the age of 75. McCausland was on the men’s basketball team under Coach Ralph Miller and graduated with a Business Administration degree from the University of Iowa in 1969. McCausland, who was the father of four-year letterman Kent McCausland (1996-99), served on the National I-Club Board from 1975-93, including serving as President of the National Board in 1986-87. In addition to his numerous years of service for Iowa Athletics behind the scenes, many fans know McCausland as a radio voice and television color analyst for Hawkeye men’s basketball for multiple decades
