Iowa raced out to a 14 point halftime lead as the 25th ranked Hawkeyes raced away to an 86-60 win Tuesday, over Michigan State. Iowa coach Fran McCafferty was thrilled with the effort.

After an impressive win at Ohio State the Hawkeyes followed it up with another impressive effort.

Keegan Murray scored 28 points. Jordan Bohannon finished with 11 and his back to back threes triggered a 19-3 run in the second half that put the game away.

Iowa is now 9-7 in the Big Ten and Bohannon says defense has helped the Hawkeyes win five of six.

Iowa visits Nebraska Friday night.

Luka Garza’s number 55 is officially in the rafters at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The two-time All American had his jersey retired at halftime of Iowa’s 86-60 win over Michigan State. Garza was the National Player of the Year last season.

Garza was happy the fans were back to be part of it.

Garza says it was a different feeling to watch a game.

Iowa State will bid for its first three game winning streak in Big 12 play since 2019 tonight (Wednesday night), when the Cyclones host West Virginia. ISU is 5-9 in the league race and wins over TCU and Oklahoma have bolstered their NCAA Tournament hopes.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who knows Cyclones fans are anxious to get back to the big dance.

West Virginia won the first meeting 79-63 in Morgantown.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones need a better start in this one.

The ninth ranked Iowa State women take a share of the Big 12 lead on the road to third place Kansas tonight (Wednesday night). The Cyclones are tied with Baylor at 11-3. The Jayhawks are 10-4.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly who says with only four games remaining they are all big.

Kansas has not lost since a 77-62 setback to the Cyclones in Ames nearly a month ago.

Drake visits Valparaiso tonight (Wednesday night), in Missouri Valley action. The Bulldogs are 11-5 and one of five teams that are still mathematically alive for the Valley regular season crown.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who says next week’s conference tournament in St. Louis will be wide open.

Drake is 20-9 and it marks the first time in program history the Bulldogs have posted four straight 20-win seasons.

Northern Iowa looks to maintain at least a share of the Missouri Valley Conference lead tonight (Wednesday night), with a visit to Indiana State. The Panthers erased a 17-point second half deficit in the first meeting to edge the Sycamores in overtime.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson who says the Panthers need a big effort on defense.

UNI is tied with Loyola at 12-4. If both win Wednesday night they will meet for the Valley title on Saturday in Cedar Falls.

(Radio Iowa) – Ranked for the first time this season number-25 Iowa hosts Michigan State tonight (Tuesday night). Iowa is 8-7 in the Big Ten while the Spartans have dropped out of title contention with two straight losses. They are 9-6 in the league race.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Hawkeyes have climbed above 500 in the Big Ten by winning four of their last five games. McCaffery says Iowa’s depth has been a big factor.

McCaffery has been impressed with the way his team has been consistent emotionally.

Sophomore forward Kris Murray on the Hawkeyes being ranked for the first time.

Murray says coming off a couple of losses the Spartans will be motivated.
