MASON CITY — Both NIACC basketball teams continue to be ranked as they resume play after the holiday break hosting Iowa Central tonight. The NIACC women are ranked fourth in the new Division II junior college poll released on Tuesday. The Lady Trojans were 10th in the pre-season poll and were ranked third in the three December polls. NIACC picked up two wins at the Illinois Central Holiday Tournament in late December but fell to host and second-ranked Illinois Central. Johnson County Community College of Kansas is ranked first, while conference foe Kirkwood is ranked 10th in new poll. On the men’s side, NIACC remains 14th in the Division II junior college rankings this week. South Suburban of Illinois is ranked first, Highland Kansas is second, Kirkwood is fifth, DMACC is 17th and Iowa Lakes is 20th. Tipoff tonight for the NIACC-Iowa Central doubleheader is scheduled for 5:30.

 

 

WACO,TEXAS — The 20th ranked Iowa State Cyclones stumbled on the road at Baylor last night. Baylor built an eight point halftime advantage and made the plays down the stretch for a 73-70 win.

That’s Iowa State coach Steve Prohm. Baylor had two key offensive rebounds off missed free throws down the stretch.

Freshman guard Tyrese Haliburton says there were too many defensive breakdowns.

The Cyclones will try to regroup for Saturday’s game at home against Kansas State.

 

 

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Noah Thomas hit four 3-pointers and scored 24 points and Nick McGlynn pitched in with a double-double to propel Drake to an 82-70 victory over Southern Illinois on Tuesday night.

Thomas sank three 3-pointers and scored 13 in the first half as the Bulldogs (12-4, 1-2 Missouri Valley Conference) shot 59 percent from the floor — including 8 of 16 from beyond the arc — to take a 43-22 lead into intermission. McGlynn finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. D.J. Wilkins added 15 points and five assists, while Brady Ellingson scored 14, knocking down 4 of 6 from distance.

Southern Illinois trailed 67-51 with 10:21 remaining in the game when Darius Beane hit two layups and Sean Lloyd nailed a jumper to pull the Salukis with 67-57 with 8:38 left to play. Ellingson’s 3-pointer ended the 6-0 spurt and the Bulldogs kept the lead in double digits from there.

Armon Fletcher topped the Salukis (9-7, 2-1) with 21 points off the bench on 9-of-13 shooting. Eric McGill scored 17 with six rebounds and two steals, while Kavion Pippen added 12 points, five boards, four blocked shots and three assists.

 

 

NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Milik Yarbrough scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds, Phil Fayne added 19 points with seven boards, and Illinois State held off Northern Iowa 70-69 on Tuesday night.

Matt Chastain scored 12 points for the Redbirds (9-7, 2-1 Missouri Valley Conference), who trailed 33-32 at halftime but Fayne opened the second half with a basket and they never trailed again.

The Redbirds led by 10 points three different times in the second half before the Panthers rallied late, closing to 69-67 on AJ Green’s jumper with seven seconds left. Matt Hein’s made 1 of 2 from the line for a three-point lead. Green’s free throws with two seconds left closed the gap to the final score and the Panthers didn’t get off another shot.

Green scored 19 points with three 3-pointers for Northern Iowa (6-10, 1-2). Tywhon Pickford and Wyatt Lohaus added 11 points apiece and Isaiah Brown grabbed 10 rebounds.

 

 

IOWA CITY — Winning on the road is tough but even more so when you fall behind big early. That has been the case for the Iowa Hawkeyes, who have lost eight straight Big Ten road games dating back to last season and few of them have been close. They give it another shot on tonight with a visit to Northwestern.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Northwestern is coming off its first Big Ten win over Illinois and versatile senior Vic Law leads the Wildcats in scoring at nearly 18 points per game.

McCaffery says despite some key losses the Wildcats remain a veteran team.

McCaffery says the commitment Northwestern has made to the program with Chris Collins at the helm will help make the Wildcats a consistent winner. They are 10-5 overall.

You can hear the Iowa-Northwestern game on AM-1300 KGLO starting with the pre-game at 7 o’clock with the tipoff scheduled for 8 o’clock.

 

 

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Andrew Wiggins had a season-high 40 points and 10 rebounds, and the Timberwolves beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-117 on Tuesday night in Ryan Saunders’ first game as Minnesota’s interim coach. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points and Dario Saric added 15 for the Timberwolves.
