The Drake Men’s Basketball team came out on top of a two overtime thriller over UNI 88-81 on Wednesday night at the Knapp Center.
Bowen Born hit a three-pointer to send it to overtime and to the second overtime but he ended up fouling out in the second OT.
Roman Penn led the Bulldogs with 28 points and 6 assists. Darnell Brodie, DJ Wilkins, and Garrett Sturtz each added 12 points. Drake improved to 19-6 on the season.
Born led UNI with 30 points and Landon Wolf added 15. The Panthers fall to 12-12 on the season.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa. –UNI downed Drake in a contest eerily similar to the first matchup of the season between the Panthers and Bulldogs. UNI was able to outlast Drake in a defensive battle and earn a 49-47 win sealed by another last-second floater by Johnston, Iowa native Maya McDermott.
The loss dropped Drake to 12-7 overall and 7-4 in MVC play while UNI improved to 14-6 on the season and 9-2 in conference action.
Forwards Anna Miller and Maggie Bair led the Bulldogs with 15 points and 12 points, respectively. Both Miller and Bair also grabbed 10 rebounds apiece, adding to their double-double count this season.
Elsewhere, Grace Berg added six points and nine rebounds while Taylor McAulay tied Miller with a team-high four assists.
On the other side, McDermott led UNI with 12 points followed by Emerson Green with 11. Grace Boffeli had a game-high 11 rebounds for the Panthers.
The Iowa State women fell 78-77 at Kansas State on Wednesday night.
Gabby Gregory hit two free-throws with 2 seconds left to seal the Wildcat win. Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw made a three at the buzzer to provide the final margin.
Lexi Donarski had 18 points, Ashley Joens scored 17, Nyamer Diew 14, and Denae Fritz 12 for Iowa State.
The Cyclones drop to 15-5 and will face Baylor on Saturday.
Those hoping for big changes in the offense of the Hawkeye football team will be disappointed after head coach Kirk Ferentz addressed the issue Thursday.
The Iowa offense was one of the worst in the country last season and relied heaving on the defense in its wins. Ferentz’s son Brian — who is the offensive coordinator — has been a big focus of the criticism. But Ferentz says the program’s history has not been to fire coordinators, and that is not going to change.
Ferentz says the program has had some down time, but they always bounce back. And he says they had eight wins last year and 10 wins the year before despite the low scoring offense.
Hawkeye Athletic Director, Gary Barta, also met with the media and backed up his coach.
Under the U-I system, Barta personally evaluates Brian Ferentz since he is Kirk’s son.
Barta also indicated changes in the players will make a difference this coming season.
The Hawkeye offense finished 130 out of 131 F-B-S programs and had the worst average yardage per game since 1978.
Iowa girls will make history today (Thursday) in Iowa City. More than 400 girls will take to the mats in the first ever state wrestling tournament sanctioned by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. Participation numbers have rapidly increased the past several years and the officials and coaches association held a state tournament. The numbers more doubled after the Girls Union announced it would sanction the tournament. The girls will compete in 13 weight classes, with the tournament wrapping up Friday.
Listen for live reports from KJAN’s Jim Field throughout the event.
The six-ranked University of Iowa women take on eighth-rated Maryland tonight (Thursday), in Carver Hawkeye Arena. Hawkeye coach Lisa Bluder has praise for the Terrapins.
Bluder says Maryland comes in with a lot of momentum. “They’ve had five straight wins now they have almost four people in double figures so they’re hard to guard,” Bluder says. She says her team will have to be sound.
Maryland comes into the 7:30 game at 18-4 overall and 9-2 in the conference. Iowa is 17-4 overall and 9-1 in the conference.
