AMES — Points could be at a premium tonight when 15th-ranked Iowa State visits #18 Texas Tech in the Big 12. The Cyclones edged the Red Raiders 51-47 in Ames back on January 5th.

That’s Iowa State coach T. J. Otzelberger who says the Red Raiders offer a physical challenge.

Otzelberger says that challenge is even bigger on the road.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones don’t shy away from low scoring, defensive battles.

The Cyclones are 2-3 in the league race.

 

 

 

CEDAR FALLS — Northern Iowa has picked the right time to start playing well. After opening the season 4-7 the Panthers have won five straight and stand 5-1 in Missouri Valley play. UNI coach Ben Jacobson.

The Panthers return to action Wednesday night at Valparaiso.

With center Austin Phyfe struggling with the long-term effects of COVID, sophomore forward Noah Carter’s play inside has been crucial.

 

 

 

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Garrett Sturtz had 16 points off the bench to lead Drake to a 60-59 win over Southern Illinois. Marcus Domask led the Salukis on Monday night with 15 points.

 

 

DENVER (AP) — Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz stopped 24 shots in relief of injured Darcy Kuemper and three more in the shootout, and Colorado beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 for its 14th straight home win. Kuemper was injured when Minnesota’s Jordan Greenway ran into him in the crease and knocked him down. The play drew the ire of Kurtis MacDermid, who dropped the gloves with Greenway. Kuemper was down on ice for a few minutes, but remained in the game until he was replaced by Francouz with 10:34 left in the second period.
