KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chance McMillian’s 16 points helped lead Grand Canyon to a 69-67 victory against Northern Iowa on Tuesday at the NABC Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City.

McMillian had five rebounds for the Antelopes (4-2). Gabe McGlothan added 13 points while going 5 of 13 from the floor, including 0 for 4 from distance, and 3 for 5 from the line, and he also had 18 rebounds. Josh Baker was 4 of 8 shooting (3 for 5 from distance) to finish with 13 points.

IOWA CITY — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes turned their season around by focusing on the game in front of them and that can’t change this week. The Hawkeyes host a Black Friday game against Nebraska and with a victory will make a second straight trip to the Big Ten Championship game.

The Hawkeyes were 3-4 after a humiliating loss at Ohio State but have won four straight.

Iowa will be without tight end Sam LaPorta and fullback Monte Pottebaum but Ferentz says both could return before the season is over.

Ferentz says the last two games are why turnovers are the most important stat in a football game. The Hawkeyes won despite being outgained.

Kickoff on Friday is scheduled for 3 o’clock with the pre-game at 1 o’clock on AM-1300 KGLO

 

 

 

AMES — Iowa State looks to play the role of spoiler this week with a visit to 4th-ranked TCU. The Cyclones are 4-7 and visit a TCU team that is 11-0 after escaping with a last second win at Baylor.

That’s Iowa State coach Matt Campbell who says experience has helped the Horned Frogs in close games. Their last seven wins have been by 10 points or less.

Former Lewis Central standout Max Duggan quarterbacks a TCU team that is two wins away from a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Kickoff in Fort Worth is scheduled for 3 o’clock on Saturday
