IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Paul Reed scored 25 points with 12 rebounds and DePaul blew past Iowa 93-78 on the road Monday to move to 4-0 for the first time in 11 years. Jalen Coleman-Lands had 17 points for the Blue Demons, who opened the game on a 19-2 run, went up 24 in just 13:16 and never looked back.

DePaul got off to a blistering start on both sides of the ball, hitting 8-of-14 3s in the first half and its lead quickly stretched from 16 to 22 points. Markese Jacobs then buried a wide-open 3 to make it 40-16. The Blue Demons also forced 12 turnovers in the first 20 minutes — constantly flummoxing an Iowa team that always seemed a step behind — in building a 53-30 lead.

Iowa tried to throw a press defense and some zone at DePaul to open the second half, but it did little to stop the surging Demons. Reed’s open 3 with 14:45 to go pushed DePaul ahead 65-41. CJ Fredrick scored 16 points and Luka Garza had 14 for Iowa (1-1), which turned the ball over 19 times and let the Blue Demons shoot 61.4 % from the floor and 11 of 20 on 3s.

The Hawkeyes entered play as a 9-point favorite. Instead, they needed a late 11-1 run to make the final score seem more respectable than it was. Reed, a second-team preseason All-Big Ten pick, finished with his third double-double in four games. Devin Gage added 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting for DePaul.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State sophomore guard Tyrese Haliburton has been named Big 12 Player of the Week after averaging 13.5 points and 13.0 assists in two games last week.

The Oshkosh, Wisconsin native also contributed 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 steals while shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 40 percent behind the arc.

Haliburton opened the season with 12 points, 14 assists, seven rebounds and six steals against Mississippi Valley State. He followed that up with another double-double, going for 15 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and two steals at Oregon State. His 12 assists without a turnover at Oregon State tied a school record.

Haliburton and the Cyclones return to action Tuesday night when they host Northern Illinois at 7 p.m.

The state’s top basketball prospect for the class of 2020 made his decision on where he wants to play college ball on Monday. In a ceremony at Oskaloosa High School Xavier Foster announced he will be signing with Iowa State University. Foster had previously announced that the choice was between Iowa State and Iowa, and Monday the lifelong Hawkeye fan chose the Cyclones because of what he sees as a better fit.

Foster is currently ranked the No. 59 player in the class overall by 247Sports, making him one of the highest rated prospects to sign with ISU. The 7-footer plays like a stretch 4-man. His size obviously is advantageous inside, but he can also shoot the three as well.

Foster’s addition to the Cyclones’ 2020 class brings it up to No. 14 nationally.

DES MOINES, Iowa – A fourth-quarter rally from 17-down came up just short as Iowa State (1-1) fell to Drake (2-0) 86-81 Sunday afternoon at the Knapp Center.

The Cyclones found themselves in a 57-40 hole halfway through the third quarter, but were able to rally within a single point on two occasions, but never take the final step to get ahead.

Leading the way was Kristin Scott, who recorded 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting, including four 3-pointers and a 15-point fourth-quarter effort. Ashley Joens had 18 points nine rebounds and five assists, while Rae Johnson had 10 points and six assists.

How It Happened
The Iowa State offense was outstanding, hitting eight of its 12 first-quarter shots, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, to amass a lead of as many as eight points at 21-13 on a Jade Thurmon floater. However, the home Bulldogs were able to four 3-pointers of their own to cut the visitors’ lead down to four points at the end of the first.

Drake was able to maintain the momentum into the second quarter, as the Bulldogs moved ahead 28-26 on a Maggie Negaard 3-pointer, and eventually got ahead five, 33-28, on a Sara Rhine lay-in. Foul trouble started to become a concern for both teams, as Adriana Camber, Inès Nezerwa and Madison Wise all reached two fouls, while three Bulldogs joined them with two fouls. Drake was able to ride it out, bringing a five-point lead into the locker room at 39-34.

The Bulldogs continued to pile it in from deep, as four 3-pointers on five attempts to open the second half brought their lead to double figures at 57-40. The pace picked up late in the quarter, which ISU was able to take advantage of to whittle away at the Drake lead, getting it down to single digits via a 10-point quarter from Ashley Joens.

Joens’ put-back to open the fourth cut the Drake lead to six at 64-58, and were about to narrow it further to a single point via a five-point run by Kristen Scott down to 70-69. Joens cut the Drake lead down to one again at 76-75, but the Bulldogs offense got back-to-back buckets from Rhine and Brenni Rose to get ahead again by six and for good. Scott hit a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute to help keep the Cyclones in the hunt.
