IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Aaron White and Josh Oglesby each scored 13 points and Iowa rallied from a 23-point deficit to clip Gardner-Webb 65-56 on Saturday night. The Hawkeyes trailed by as much as 38-15 late in the first half at home before a 15-0 run cut Gardner-Webb’s lead to eight. Iowa took its first lead, 47-46, with 8:22 left, and Devyn Marble’s 3 with 2:17 to go put Iowa ahead 60-52.

Adam Woodbury had 12 points for the Hawkeyes (4-0), who outscored the Runnin’ Bulldogs 47-18 in the second half and survived a major scare. Onzie Branch had 13 to lead Gardner-Webb, which shot 19 percent in the second half.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Sam Richardson, who had not even attempted a pass all year, threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns Saturday night, sparking Iowa State past Kansas 51-23 and handing the Jayhawks their 20th consecutive Big 12 loss. Richardson led the Cyclones (6-5 overall, 3-5 Big 12) to touchdowns on four straight possessions in the second quarter while taking a 38-17 lead in Lawrence, Kansas. The redshirt freshman, virtually overlooked all year in the Cyclones’ jumbled quarterback picture, had previously seen only mop-up duty in one game.

While going 23 for 27, Richardson spread his completions around to 12 different receivers. Six different Cyclones scored touchdowns. For Kansas (1-10, 0-8), the final home game of the year sent a bedraggled class of seniors out on the same sort of sour note which has characterized their entire collegiate careers.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – Jake Koch had 16 points and eight rebounds as Northern Iowa defeated North Dakota 72-47 Saturday.  Koch was 10 for 10 from the free-throw line and also had four assists for the Panthers (3-0). Chip Rank added 13 points and Matt Bohannon had 11. Aaron Anderson led North Dakota (1-2) with 12 points.

Northern Iowa never trailed, jumping out to 36-19 lead with 3:22 left in the first half. The Fighting Sioux answered with six straight points before the break and opened the second half on a 7-2 run to pull within 38-32. That was as close as North Dakota got as the Panthers scored the next eight points and eventually built a 25-point lead.   Northern Iowa hit its first 16 free throws and finished 17 for 20 at the line.
