CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Kennedy Meeks scored 10 of his 18 points during No. 8 North Carolina’s dominant second half, leading the Tar Heels past Northern Iowa 85-42 on Wednesday night. Justin Jackson added 12 points while Joel Berry II and Isaiah Hicks finished with 11 apiece for the Tar Heels (11-2).
They shot 52 percent — hit 62 percent of their shots in the second half while outscoring Northern Iowa 52-16 — and established a 42-24 rebounding advantage to bounce back from a 103-100 loss to No. 6 Kentucky last weekend.
Bennett Koch scored 10 points before fouling out with 7:19 left for the Panthers (5-6), who have lost two straight and six of eight.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa wide receiver Matt VandeBerg will return in 2017 after being granted an extra year of eligibility through a medical hardship waiver.
VandeBerg, who injured his right foot after just four games, had his waiver approved by the Big Ten.
The return of VandeBerg should be a big boost to a receiving corps that struggled without him. VandeBerg caught 19 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns in limited action this season after catching 65 passes in 2015.
VandeBerg has 1,302 career receiving yards with 8 TDs.
No. 21 Iowa (8-4) will face No. 20 Florida (8-4) in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.
Cold temperatures have frozen over most of the state’s lakes and ponds — setting off the ice fishing season. Iowa Department of Natural Resources fisheries chief, Joe Larschied, says you should be able to ice fish in most areas of the state. He says there are still some lakes in southeast Iowa that haven’t fully frozen, but most of the lakes and impoundments have five to six inches of ice on them.
The forecast is calling for the temperatures to rise into the 40s in some areas of the state, but Larschied says that won’t melt everything away. “We’re still going to be making ice at night and we are going to be in the 30s and maybe 40s for a couple of days. For a short periods of time they’re not going to be melting a lot of ice. When you have good, hard, clear ice it takes a lot of warming days to really whittle that down,” Larschied says. “I’m going to predict that we are going to be making ice instead of losing ice.”
But Larschied isn’t giving a guarantee that all the ice will be good. “We can never say it is 100 percent safe to go ice fishing — because the conditions can vary in the lake or impoundment,” Larschied says. “But generally, four inches of hard, clear ice is safe to fish on for foot traffic. Anything of six inches and above is safe for A-T-Vs. And over eight to ten inches is safe if you want to drive larger vehicles on the ice.”
He says there are a couple of warning signs that the ice may not be safe. “If the ice looks dark, there’s nobody fishing it, be very careful,” Larschied says. He says you should punch plenty of holes in the ice to test its thickness. And always take a friend with you so you have help if you get into trouble on the ice.
He says bring these safety items along in the bucket: ice picks, about 50 feet of rope and a throwable floatation seat cushion for use in case of rescue.

The Atlantic Boys Swimming team competed in a double dual at Des Moines Roosevelt on Tuesday night and had a strong showing.
The Trojans got first place finishes from Damon Miller in the 100 Yard and 200 Yard Freestyle, and Nick Landhuis in the 100 Yard Backstroke. Atlantic also took first in the 200 Yard Medley Relay, 200 Yard Freestyle Relay, and 400 Yard Freestyle Relay. Jacob Redler was 2nd in the 200 Yard Individual Medley. Ben Henriksen was 2nd in the 100 Yard Fly.
The Trojans ended up losing the dual meet only due to sheer numbers. 3 lanes were scored in each event allowing Roosevelt to rack up some extra points with more swimmers.
Des Moines Roosevelt 91, Atlantic 78.
