CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Ivo Baltic scored a season-high 22 points as Ohio knocked off Northern Iowa 76-59 Tuesday night in a showdown of strong mid-major programs. The Bobcats (10-1) are off to their best start since the 1940-41 team opened 11-1 en route to a runner-up finish in the NIT. Ohio has also started 5-0 in road/neutral site games for the first time since 1920-21. D.J. Cooper added 13 points and his 200th career steal for the Bobcats, while Nick Kellogg had 11 points and five assists. Northern Iowa (10-2), which had its nine-game winning streak snapped, got 15 points from Jake Koch, 11 from Anthony James and 10 from Marc Sonnen. The Panthers struggled from the field, shooting 35 percent. Ohio, meanwhile, shot 52 percent from the field, including 11 of 21 on 3-point attempts. Baltic had 16 of his 22 points in the first half, including a 3-pointer that gave the Bobcats a 39-21 lead. Ohio was on top 44-32 lead at the break.
The Western Iowa Conference is in the mood to expand. Superintendents and activities directors from the eight schools currently in the conference met last Friday and decided to send letters inviting Logan-Magnolia and IKM-Manning to join the conference in the fall of 2013. The invitations must be accepted by February first. IKM-Manning and Logan-Magnolia are currently members of the 17 school Western Valley Conference. Conference leaders have cited geography, enrollment and a history of succesful programs as reasons to consider IKM-Manning and Logan-Magnolia for the conference. The invitations are expected to be sent before the end of the month. The WIC currently includes Audubon, A-H-S-T, Griswold, Tri-Center, Riverside, Underwood, Missouri Valley and Treynor.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Deon Mitchell and Austin Pehl scored 13 points apiece to lead seven double-figure scorers for Northern Iowa in an 84-48 victory over Loras on Monday night.
Chip Rank added 12 points for the Panthers (10-1), who ran their winning streak to nine in a row. Marc Sonnen had 11, and Matt Morrison, Seth Tuttle and Anthony James scored 10 apiece.
Tim Kelly scored 11 points for the Division III Duhawks (2-8), who lost their fifth straight.
The Panthers shot 52 percent (29 of 56) and went 11 of 20 from 3-point distance. The Duhawks were limited to 35 percent shooting (18 of 51).
Northern Iowa forced 16 turnovers, committing only five, and turned that into a 27-3 edge on points off turnovers.
The Panthers reached 10-1 for just the sixth time in school history.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Sophomore Doug McDermott scored a career-high 35 points and No. 23 Creighton routed Tulsa 83-64 on Monday night.
The 6-foot-7 McDermott had 19 points in the first half on a variety of low-post bank shots as Tulsa elected not to double-team the nation’s second-leading scorer.
McDermott finished 16 of 23 from the field and made both of his 3-point attempts.
The Bluejays (9-1) trailed 20-19 but went on an 8-0 run spurred by three baskets by Antoine Young, who finished with 14 points. McDermott scored the Bluejays’ final 11 points of the half as Creighton took a 42-34 lead.
Center Gregory Echenique, who played just 2 minutes in the first half, scored nine points in the opening 2:52 of the second as Creighton took a 51-34 lead. Tulsa never came closer than 12 points again.
Jordan Clarkson scored 14 points and Tim Peete added 12 for Tulsa (5-7), which lost for the seventh time in nine games.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — In what’s often been a trying stretch for Iowa, the Hawkeyes finally got to clear out the bench and savor an easy victory. Devyn Marble had 19 points and six assists, freshman Aaron White added 17 points and Iowa pounded Central Arkansas 105-64 on Monday night. Melsahn Basabe had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Hawkeyes (7-5), who cracked the 100-point barrier for just the second time under coach Fran McCaffery.
Iowa opened the game with a 24-5 run and led by 13 at halftime despite five 3-pointers from Central Arkansas’s Dewan Clayborn. The Hawkeyes pushed their lead to 75-46 with 12 minutes remaining and cruised to back-to-back victories for the first time in a month. Clayborn had 18 points to lead the Bears (5-5), who’ve dropped two in a row after winning five straight. Central Arkansas never led, but it briefly scared the Hawkeyes with a pair of runs late in the first half. This was the fourth win by 20 points or more this season for Iowa, which has shown signs of progress since a disheartening 0-2 road trip against rivals Northern Iowa and Iowa State.
