Off to their best start in the Big Ten since 1970 the third ranked Iowa Hawkeyes face a huge test this evening with a visit to eighth ranked Maryland. The Terrapins are 6-2 in the league race and sophomore Melo Trimble is one of the top point guards in the country.
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery McCaffery says road wins are special and the Hawkeyes have won their last six Big Ten road games dating back to last season. Iowa’s ranking is the highest since since 1987. McCaffery says he does not pay attention to preseason rankings and this one is no different.
It will be the only regular season meeting between Iowa and Maryland. Pre-game coverage on KJAN begins at 5-p.m., with tipoff in the XFINITY Center 6:05-p.m.

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State women’s basketball team (11-8, 3-5 Big 12) lost to TCU (12-8, 4-5 Big 12), 72-62 on Wednesday night in Hilton Coliseum. According to Cyclones.com, Freshman Bridget Carleton paced the Cyclones, as she put up 23 points and 11 rebounds in the outing. Zahna Medley was TCU’s top scorer with 22 points on the night.
Iowa State will face Oklahoma at home on Saturday, Jan. 30. Tip between the Cyclones and Sooners will be at 1 p.m.
Iowa women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder says the Hawkeyes are not waving the “white flag” on their NCAA Tournament hopes. After racing out to a 12-2 record to start the season the Hawkeyes are in the midst of a three week slump that has seen them drop five of six games heading into tonight’s (Thursday night’s) game at home against Michigan. Bluder feels getting to nine Big Ten victories would be enough to get the Hawkeyes a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Just a couple of weeks ago the Hawkeyes were riding a 25-game winning streak at home but have dropped their last two games in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It was a loss to Michigan back on January seventh that started the skid. Bluder is confident the Hawkeyes will get things turned around. Tip-time for the game is 7-p.m.

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Paul Jesperson hit 8 3-pointers and scored 28 points — both career highs — and Northern Iowa limited Bradley to just 18 second-half points as the Panthers took a 68-50 victory Wednesday night. Jesperson and Matt Bohannon each knocked down a pair of 3-pointers as Northern Iowa took a 12-4 lead, but Bradley kept pace. Antoine Pittman hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 32-32 with 1:06 left in the first half. Jesperson hit a late 3 to give Northern Iowa a 35-32 halftime advantage.
Bradley took a 38-37 lead on Pittman’s 3-pointer less than three minutes into the second half, but the Braves scored on just two Pittman 3-pointers over the next eight minutes. Northern Iowa (11-11, 3-6 Missouri Valley) built a 54-44 advantage and Jesperson hit three straight 3s to make it 63-47. Ronnie Suggs scored 15 and Pittman added 14 points for Bradley (3-19, 1-8).
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Packers coach Mike McCarthy pulled out of his Pro Bowl coaching assignment Wednesday, saying doctors have advised him not to travel as he battles a stomach illness. The Packers said associate head coach Winston Moss will handle head-coaching responsibilities at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu this week, including Sunday’s game.
The Packers staff will coach one team and the staff of the Kansas City Chiefs will be on the other sideline. Rosters will be assigned after a Pro Bowl draft set for Wednesday night with Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin serving as the non-playing captains.
Players were selected without regard to conference in voting by fans, coaches and players, a format first used in the 2014 game.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) – An instrumental rendition of the University of Iowa fight song has been playing for several hours every day since last summer over speakers mounted on a vacant building in the city of Niagara Falls. And it’s driving the neighbors crazy. The music starts in the mid-afternoon and repeats in about 50-second loops for the next seven hours before turning off.
The owners of a restaurant directly across the street from the building say they have been told by police that the music’s volume and the time it’s being played don’t violate any city noise ordinances. Kevin Robertson, the restaurant’s chef, lives above the eatery. He says being subjected to hours-long daily doses of the Iowa fight song is torture.
The company that owns the building hasn’t responded to media requests for comment.
