The 12th ranked Iowa State Cyclones are at home against Baylor in the Big 12. The Cyclones dropped the first meeting with the Bears on the road and coach Fred Hoiberg says they need to slow down Baylor forward Rico Gathers. Hoiberg says the key against Baylor is solving their zone defense.

Baylor coach Scott Drew says the Cyclones are tough to beat, especially in Hilton. Drew says this will be a tough test for the Bears. Tip-off for the game at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, is 8-p.m.

Iowa hosts Illinois tonight

Sports

February 25th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Hawkeyes can give their NCAA resume a boost with a win at home over Illinois, tonight (Wednesday). Perimeter defense will be a key. The Illini guards are dangerous from three point range but also effective at driving to the hoop. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes never discuss the ramifications of a game. Illinois beat the Hawkeyes in Iowa City at the end of last season. Iowa is 8-6 in the Big Ten. Illinois is 7-7.

You can hear the game tonight on KJAN beginning with the pre-game show at 7, tip-off at 8.

Cardinals send Wainwright to St Louis

Sports

February 25th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — The Cardinals are sending ace Adam Wainwright to St. Louis to be examined by a doctor after his workout Tuesday was cut short by abdominal pain. General manager John Mozeliak told Cardinals.com that Wainwright would be seen by Dr. Michael Brunt of Washington University on Thursday, and said the team would provide an update after the exam.

Mozeliak said he wasn’t “overly concerned,” given the ailment is unrelated to the pitcher’s arm. Wainwright threw his first bullpen session of spring training on Friday. The team said discomfort in his abdomen had bothered him in other drills and when running.

Meet officials also say that the world’s top-ranked 110-meter hurdler, Pascal Martinot-Lagarde of France, will compete at Drake. American LaShawn Merritt will be back to defend his meet title in the 400. The Drake Relays will be held from April 23-25 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.
