Duke’s defense bottled up the Hawkeyes and held Kris Murray to eight points.

AMES — In the midst of conference expansion and expanded league schedules, Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger hopes there is still a place for the series with Iowa. The 20th-ranked Cyclones visit the Hawkeyes on Thursday night. It will be the 76th meeting in a series that has been played every season since 1970.

Otzelberger has been involved in several in-state series during his career and has always enjoyed them.

UNI drops to 3-5 on the season.

 

 

IOWA CITY — A top 25 women’s Cy-Hawk clash takes place in Iowa City tonight when 10th-ranked Iowa State visits #16 Iowa. This could have been a top ten matchup but the Hawks have stumbled out of the gate. Ranked 4th in the preseason, Iowa is 6-3.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder who does not feel their confidence has been hurt by the early losses as part of a tough schedule..

Junior guard Caitlin Clark says this game is a great showcase for the state of Iowa.

Iowa State’s 77-70 win in Ames last year snapped the Hawkeyes five game win streak in the series but nearly all of the recent games have been close.

That’s Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly who says for his team success begins on defense.

It will be the final game in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for Cyclone star Asley Joens, who is a native of Iowa City.
