The Iowa Hawkeye men are on the road tonight (Tuesday night) in the Big Ten, to play Michigan State. The Hawkeyes have lost three straight on the road but had their chances down the stretch in all three.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says turnovers are costly against the Spartan.

The Breslin Center is one of the toughest Big Ten venues for visiting teams and experience helps.

The game will feature two coaches known for their longevity. McCaffery is in his 28th year as a head coach and his 14th with the Hawkeyes. Michigan State’s Tom Izzo is 69 and in his 29th season at the helm of the Spartans.

Iowa is 15-11 overall and 7-8 in the Big Ten. Michigan State is 17-9 overall and 9-6 in the league race.

To say that the (19-4) Exira-EHK Spartans boys basketball is on roll is an understatement. The Spartans had a seven game winning streak heading to post season play and currently have two more wins here in the post season with wins over Heartland Christian and Riverside.

The Spartans are led in scoring on the season by a couple of seniors. Senior Cash Emgarten has scored 413 points and is averaging 18 points per game and senior Aiden Flathers has scored 306 points and average 13 points per game this season.

Spartans head coach Tony Sanistaben had this to say about the way his team is playing so well this season.

Coach Sanistaben also talked about the Spartans teams health heading into their game against Woodbine.

The Exira-EHK Spartans will take on the Woodbine Tigers in the semi-final round of the Class 1A-Substate 8 on Tuesday night with the game to be in Harlan. Tipoff at 7:00 PM. You can tune into that game online kjan,com.

The ADM Tigers shot sharp in a forceful victory over the Atlantic Boys winning 69-49 in the Class 3A Substate 8 Quarterfinal on Monday night.

The Tigers set a sharp tone in the first quarter going on an 8-0 run. Atlantic managed to break the run with a quick two from Colton Rasmussen, but ADM took control once again ending the quarter with a 15-6 lead.

In the second quarter Atlantic’s cold shooting continued to follow them with consecutive runs created by ADM. The Trojans looked flat with Rasmussen being held to only 9 points in the first half and the Tigers took full advantage with their fast court break going up 43-13 at half.

Atlantic picked things up in the second half with multiple triples in the start of the third thanks to the sharp shooting of Gavin McLaren. But, ADM did not relent and kept responding with layups inside to continually push away the hopes of an Atlantic comeback. While Atlantic did fight well, Head Coach Dalton Franken commented that a lack of composure cost them the game.

Atlantic was led by 22 points from Colton Rasmussen and 14 from Gavin McLaren. This senior group was a special one for Coach Franken and one that he will never forget.

The Trojans finish a solid season with a 7-16 record. Atlantic will say goodbye to an competitive senior class of 5: Colton Rasmussen, Nolan Waters, Tyrell Williams, Brock Henderson, and Thomas Leonard.

However, the future for Trojan Basketball is looking promising with the upcoming core of players.

ADM improves to 19-3 and will face Carroll on Thursday night.
