Ejim scores 48; No. 16 Iowa State beats TCU 84-69

February 8th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Melvin Ejim hit 20 of 24 shots in scoring a Big 12-record 48 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to lead Number 16 Iowa State to an 84-69 victory over TCU on Saturday. Ejim had two 3-pointers and six dunks during his big game, one on a spectacular fast-break lob from DeAndre Kane that gave the Cyclones (18-4, 6-4 Big 12) a 67-52 lead and effectively put the game out of reach.

A 6-foot-6 senior, Ejim scored 20 straight Iowa State points during one stretch in the second half. It was his 30th career double-double. Georges Niang added 11 points and Kane finished with 10 assists for the Cyclones, who avoided a letdown after their thrilling three-overtime victory at Oklahoma State on Monday, their first win in Stillwater since 1988.

Omaha Tribe casino to reopen in new building

News

February 8th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Blackbird Bend casino in western Iowa, formerly CasinOmaha, is set to reopen in a brand new building on Wednesday. The Omaha World-Herald reports that table games, a restaurant and bar and gift shop are all coming back with the move to the new building.

The Omaha Tribe-owned casino, located in Onawa, Iowa, was shut down by Missouri River flooding in June 2011. It reopened in a portion of the old building about a year ago while the new casino was under construction.

Marketing director Mike Krysl says the new casino is next door to the old building and sits 6 feet higher than the old casino to prevent future flooding. Part of the old building will reopen in March as a bingo hall.
