PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Corey Sanders had 18 points and eight assists and two steals and Geo Baker had 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals, to lead Rutgers past Iowa 80-64 on Wednesday night.

While Iowa (10-10, 1-6 Big Ten) was able to overcome a 20-point deficit in its last game at Illinois, they were unable to do it a second time in a row. Jordan Bohannon scored 23 points, including five 3s, and Tyler Cook had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawkeyes.

After their first Big Ten win of the season, the young Hawkeyes were unable to win back-to-back conference games and fell to .500. They were below .500 early in the season at 4-6.

Iowa will host No. 3 Purdue during a matinee, this Saturday.

No. 24 TCU snaps 3-game skid with 96-73 over Iowa State

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Vladimir Brodziansky had 26 points and No. 24 TCU snapped a three-game losing streak with a 96-73 win over Iowa State on Wednesday night, when the Horned Frogs played for the first time without injured starting point guard Jaylen Fisher.

Donovan Jackson had 19 points for Iowa State (10-6, 1-5). Cameron Lard and Lindell Wigginton each had 16. Even while they shot 51 percent from the field (30 of 59), the Cyclones couldn’t gain any momentum coming off their first Big 12 victory Saturday against Baylor. Wigginton, the freshman who was the Big 12 newcomer of the week after games with 30 and 27 points last week, had only two points at halftime after he got two fouls in the first 9 minutes.

Another ranked opponent is next for the Cyclones, who host No. 8 Texas Tech on Saturday.

Brown, Cox help No. 4 Baylor roll past Iowa State, 79-50

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kalani Brown scored 25 points, Lauren Cox had 21 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high nine blocks, and No. 4 Baylor beat Iowa State 79-50 on Wednesday for its 13th straight win. Kristy Wallace scored 16 points for the Lady Bears (16-1, 6-0 Big 12), who never trailed in picking up their sixth straight league win by at least 22 points.

Bridget Carelton had 24 points for the Cyclones, who’ve lost five of six. It’s no shame to lose to a team as talented as Baylor. But barring a miracle, the Cyclones will miss the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years after earning nine straight bids. Though coach Bill Fennelly has a lifetime contract for a reason, next year will be crucial for a program used to competing at a high level.

Iowa State hosts No. 17 West Virginia on Saturday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Maddie Simon scored 19 points, Hannah Whitish added 18 and Nebraska beat No. 20 Iowa 74-65 on Tuesday night. Jasmine Cincore’s 3-point play on a fast break extended Nebraska’s lead to 70-63 with 1:21 to go. Hannah Stewart scored at the other end but Iowa went scoreless from there. Nebraska was just 4 of 10 from the free-throw line in the final minute and finished 17 of 35 (48.6 percent).

Taylor Kissinger had 12 points and eight rebounds for Nebraska (13-6, 4-2 Big Ten). Kate Cain, who entered ranked fifth nationally in blocked shots at 3.5 per game, had five blocks and six points.

Megan Gustafson had 29 points and 18 rebounds for her NCAA-leading 18th double-double of the season for Iowa (15-4, 3-3). She scored half of Iowa’s 24 first-half points and also grabbed nine rebounds. Amanda Ollinger scored a career-high 12 points.

Nebraska snapped a five-game losing streak in the series dating to 2014-15.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Bennett Koch scored 19 points and Northern Iowa pulled away early in the second half to beat Drake 68-54 on Tuesday night. Northern Iowa (10-9, 2-5 Missouri Valley Conference) has won two straight since snapping a seven-game skid, and has beaten Drake (11-9, 5-2) in 16 of the last 18 games.

The Bulldogs had their last lead, 38-37 with 15 minutes left before Northern Iowa used a 23-11 surge for a 60-49 lead with four minutes remaining. Back-to-back 3s from Spencer Haldeman and Tywhon Pickford made it a 17-point Panther advantage with 2:28 to go.

Pickford added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Northern Iowa. Haldeman chipped in 12 points and Klint Carlson had 10. Reed Timmer had 17 points and Nick McGlynn 13 to lead Drake, which has lost two of its last three games.
