The seventh ranked Iowa State men host IU-Indianapolis on Monday night. It is the third of four straight Monday games for the Cyclones. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger.
Otzelberger wants to see the Cyclones have longer stretches of quality play.
Otzelberger says he does not expect to have the same starting lineup all season.
IU-Indianapolis is 2-2 with the losses coming to Xavier and Eastern Michigan.
Addison O’Grady had 27 points and added 10 rebounds as the Iowa Hawkeye women beat Drake 86-73 in a sold out Knapp Center. O’Grady had 14 of Iowa’s first 16 points in the opening quarter as the Hawkeyes survived an early three point onslaught from the Bulldogs.
O’Grady’s play has been a big factor in Iowa’s 4-0 start to the season.
Iowa closed the opening half on an 18-3 run to lead by 10 at intermission. The Bulldogs got no closer than five in the second half. Hawkeye coach Jensen.
Jensen says her expectations for O’ Grady are skyrocketing.
The Hawkeyes won despite 40 points from Drake senior Katie Dinnebier, who finished seven of 15 from three point range. She did not get enough help as the Bulldogs were outscored 46-10 in the paint.
That’s Drake coach Allison Pohlman. Dinnebier was 17 of 20 at the line as the Bulldogs capped a weekend in which the school celebrated 450 years of women’s basketball.

(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Red Oak Police Department reports a man was arrested at around 12:30-a.m. today (Sunday), on two charges. 35-year-old Bryceton Lee Flathers, of Red Oak, was arrested for Interference with Official Acts, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (both are Simple Misdemeanors). Flathers was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $300 bond.
(Des Moines, Iowa) – The Iowa Capital Dispatch reports another Iowa county is being sued by Summit Carbon Solutions over attempts to regulate the company’s planned carbon dioxide pipeline across Iowa. In 2022, Summit sued Story County and Shelby County in U.S. District Court for Southern District of Iowa. Both lawsuits alleged the locally elected county boards of supervisors were attempting to impose on the project siting requirements that are the exclusive province of federal regulators.
In December 2023, a federal judge sided with Summit and permanently barred the two Iowa counties from enforcing their ordinances that restrict the placement of carbon dioxide pipelines. This past week, Summit sued Bremer County over the same issue. The new lawsuit claims that despite the December 2023 court ruling in the two previous cases, Bremer County has passed and let stand similar – and, in some respects, identical — local regulations of carbon dioxide pipelines and related construction activity. The county is also accused of threatening to fine Summit if it does not comply with those ordinances.
The company says that on Oct. 30, 2024, Bremer County Attorney Darius Robinson wrote a letter to Summit’s legal counsel, stating that Summit was not in compliance with ordinances passed in September 2024, and threatening to fine Summit. In the letter, Robinson allegedly warned Summit that “that any non-compliance with the Bremer County ordinance can result in all legal remedies being pursued” and formally requested that company representatives attend an upcoming public meeting to discuss the matter.
As a result, the company says in its court filings, Summit must now seek declaratory and injunctive relief against the enforcement of the Bremer County ordinances. Bremer County has yet to file a response to the lawsuit.
Summit’s planned pipeline is intended to transport carbon dioxide captured from more than 50 ethanol plants across Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Plans call for the pipeline to utilize a network of more than 2,500 miles of underground pipes across the five states and deliver it to a site in North Dakota. In Iowa, the pipeline will travel through 39 counties, including Bremer County.
Construction of the pipeline project is already underway, and Summit has been engaged with the Iowa Utilities Commission for more than three years as part of the planning and permitting process. The commission has granted Summit a permit from the first phase of the project and the company is now in the process of securing the Iowa permit for phase two, which will serve ethanol plants east and west of Bremer County.
Summit says it has already obtained voluntary easements for much of the proposed route across Iowa and has paid more than $159 million to Iowa landowners for access.

(West Des Moines, Iowa) – Officials with the Iowa Restaurant Association, have announced, their 2024 Restaurant Neighbor Philanthropist Award Winner is Katie Huff, owner of the Tiger Drive-In, in Greenfield.
The award was presented to her for “Her steadfast dedication to Greenfield, both in crisis and in daily life,” in response to the devastating, May 2024 tornado that hit Greenfield, and claimed four lives. More than 150 homes and businesses were either heavily damaged or destroyed by the twister.
Restaurant Neighbor Philanthropist Award Winner: Katie Huff
Tiger Drive-In, Greenfield, Iowa
The Restaurant Association says while hundreds of volunteers eventually came to help, locals like Katie Huff, owner of the Tiger Drive-In, stepped up immediately to support the community. The 60-year-old Tiger Drive-In, a classic walk-up spot, survived with minimal damage despite an employee’s car being tossed against it. Recognizing the urgent need, Katie rallied her team to help. Without power, friends brought in generators, enabling her to serve hot and cold food.
Huff said “There were a lot of things I couldn’t do, but I could feed people.” She and her team handed out free ice cream, chili dogs, and sandwiches to volunteers, first responders, and residents. After news coverage, support poured in from across the country, enabling weeks of free meals.
“The angels appeared,” says Katie, “sending money from as far as Florida and Colorado to keep us going.”
Society Insurance sponsored the Iowa Restaurant Association’s 2024 Community Impact Awards.
(North Liberty, Iowa) – A single-vehicle accident early Saturday morning in Johnson County claimed the life of a teen from Swisher. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2013 Hyundai Azera driven by 17-year-old Kaden A. Blair, was traveling on I-380 southbound near mile-marker 5 at around 12:35-a.m., when the vehicle drove off the roadway and collided with a concrete barrier. Blair was ejected during the crash and died at the University of Iowa Health Care Medical Center. The car burst into flames.
The Cedar Rapids Prairie High School wrestling program posted on Facebook saying Blair was a former wrestler at the school. The wrestling program shared a GoFundMe fundraiser that was created to help cover the cost of services.
And, the Patrols say a 21-year-old man from Urbandale suffered life-threatening injuries, when he was struck by an SUV Friday night, in North Liberty. Carson C. Boyle was crossing W. Penn Street in front of the Tin Roost at around 9:40-p.m., when he was struck.
The SUV fled the scene but was later located. Charges against the driver, 25-year-old Tagian D. Hughes, of North Liberty, are currently pending.
Both accidents remain under investigation.
