The Iowa basketball team will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule tonight (Thursday) by hosting Boise State. The Hawkeyes are 7-5 after a 105-64 win over Central Arkansas on Monday night and take on a Boise State team that is 9-3. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says this will be a tough test heading into the start of the Big Ten race. McCaffrey told his team immediately after the Central Arkansas game that they better play well against the Broncos. McCaffrey says he doesn’t know if his guys fully understood they would be playing a team that is 9-3, that has “really good players,” and is one of the most impressive teams he’s watched on film. He says after his talk with the players, he thinks they understand the Broncos are one of the better teams on the schedule right now. Tonight’s mens’ game will be the second half of a doubleheader in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. In the opener the Iowa women play Mississippi Valley State.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State fans gave Lipscomb’s Jordan Burgason a standing ovation when he left the game for good. It might have been partly from relief because with the Ames native finally on the bench, he couldn’t do any more damage. Burgason tied a Hilton Coliseum record with nine 3-point baskets and scored 30 points, but Iowa State got a season-high 24 points from Scott Christopherson and 23 from Chris Allen to beat the Bison 81-64 Wednesday night for its fourth straight victory. Burgason, whose father Steve played at Iowa State from 1974-78, hit 10 of 16 shots, including 9 of 14 from 3-point range. He fell one point short of matching his career high. Lipscomb (6-8) was playing the fourth of seven straight road games. The Bison have lost all four.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rayvonte Rice scored 29 points as Drake won its final game before the start of Missouri Valley Conference play, defeating Central Arkansas 87-64 on Wednesday night. Jordan Clarke added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs (7-4), who shot 52 percent from the field and hit 10 of 25 3-pointers. Jeremy Jeffers and Ben Simons had 11 points each. Dewan Clayborn scored 23 points for Central Arkansas (5-6), which has lost three straight since winning five in a row. Drake led just 11-9 with 14:38 left in the first half before it started to pull away. The Bulldogs shot 56 percent from the field in the first half and converted 10 Bears turnovers into 21 points to lead 49-30 at the break. Drake led by as many as 25 in the second half.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State fans have secured 4,800 New Era Pinstripe Bowl tickets for the Dec. 30 game between Iowa State and Rutgers.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A spokesman for University of Iowa President Sally Mason says she supported the decision to suspend star running back Marcus Coker for the Dec. 30 Insight Bowl against Oklahoma. Spokesman Tom Moore said Wednesday Mason has been kept apprised of the situation involving Coker, whose suspension was announced Tuesday by the athletic department as a result of violating the student-athlete code of conduct for unspecified behavior. Ellie Herman, one of two faculty representatives to athletics, said she was briefed on the details but could not release them for privacy reasons. Herman says that, based on what she was told, she supported the suspension and the move wasn’t taken lightly. UI Police Chief Chuck Green says his department isn’t investigating Coker, who will not travel with the team to Tempe, Ariz.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State had it going inside and outside and there wasn’t much Northern Iowa could do about it.

Iowa State improves to 7-2 while Northern Iowa falls to 7-4.

Iowa State scored 15 second-chance points in the first half to Northern Iowa’s two points. The Cyclones controlled the boards, outrebounding their intrastate foe, 25-10 in the first half.

The university announced Coker’s suspension on its athletic department website Tuesday. The announcement says the issue involves university policies but did not elaborate. Coker, who is a sophomore from Beltsville, Md., will not travel with the team to Tempe, Ariz., for the Dec. 30 bowl game against Oklahoma. Coker was the Hawkeyes’ starting running back this season and was named to the all-Big 10 second team.
