LUBBOCK — Texas Tech outscored Iowa State 34-17 to start the second half as the 18th-ranked Red Raiders beat the 15th-ranked Cyclones 72-60 on Tuesday night. ISU shot less than 37 percent, including five of 26 from three-point range.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. Tech made 25 of 29 free throws in the second half.

The Cyclones trailed 26-23 at halftime before Tech took charge.

Caleb Grill led Iowa State with 17 points. The Cyclones fall to 2-4 in the Big 12.

 

 

 

IOWA CITY — The Iowa Hawkeyes will bid for their third straight victory tonight with a visit to Rutgers. After a 4-4 start to the season, the Scarlet Knights have won five of their last six.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says the return of senior guard Geo Baker helped Rutgers turn things around.

McCaffery says the play of center Filip Rebraca has been a key as of late. The North Dakota transfer had 12 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday’s win at Minnesota.

Iowa is 3-3 in the Big Ten and 14-4 overall. The pre-game starts at 6:30 with the tipoff scheduled for 7:30 on AM-1300 KGLO.

 

 

KEOKUK — The NIACC women picked up an 82-67 win at Southeastern on Tuesday night. Alyssa Hames had 19 points while Audrey Martinez-Stewart added 11 for the Trojans, who improve to 11-5 overall and 3-5 in the conference. Both the NIACC women and men travel to Kirkwood on Thursday.
