AMES — 10th-ranked Kansas connected on 56 percent for the game to beat 20th-ranked Iowa State 70-61 in Ames last night. The Jayhawks won without Big 12 leading scorer Ochai Agbaji, who was sidelined due to COVID protocols. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger says a slow start defensively was costly.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones struggled guarding the dribble.

The Cyclones are 3-6 in the Big 12 and head to Texas on Saturday looking for a season sweep of the Longhorns.

Isaiah Brockington led Iowa State with 24.

 

 

 

AMES — The 11th-ranked Iowa State women take a share of the Big 12 lead into tonight’s game at home against 25th-ranked Kansas State. The Cyclones are 7-2 as the second half of the conference race begins.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. The Cyclones rallied late to win the first meeting 73-70 in Manhattan.

Kansas State standout center Ayoka Lee scored 38 points in the first meeting with the Cyclones.

Kansas State is fourth in the Big 12 with a record of 6-3.

 

 

MASON CITY — NIACC sophomore Bradley Andrews is the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference’s Division II men’s basketball player of the week for last week.

NIACC is 16-6 overall and 5-4 in the conference and will host Iowa Western in a conference contest tonight as part of a women’s-men’s doubleheader that you can hear on AM-1300 KGLO and kgloam.com starting at 5:30.

 

 

MASON CITY — For the fourth time in his career, NIACC’s Christian Minto has been named the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference’s wrestler of the week for last week.

NIACC wrestles at Iowa Western tonight.
