Iowa State visits TCU Tuesday night

Sports

February 15th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger says a lack of motivation is not an issue as the Cyclones get ready for tonight’s (Tuesday night’s) game at TCU. ISU is 3-9 in the Big 12 and has lost four straight games.

Otzelberger says after playing harder than all of their non-conference opponents the margin of error is smaller in the Big 12.

Otzelberger says better offense will help on the defensive end.

TCU beat the Cyclones 59-44 in Ames last month and Otzelberger says his team needs a better start.

A key will be keeping TCU off the offensive boards.

Northern Iowa looks to bounce back Tuesday night at Illinois State

Sports

February 15th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

The UNI men will need to move on quickly from Sunday’s blowout loss at Loyola as the Panthers get ready to visit Illinois State tonight (Tuesday night). The Panthers are 10-4 in the Missouri Valley after an 85-58 loss to the Ramblers.

That’s Panther coach Ben Jacobson who says his team should have no problem moving on.

Jacobson says having several players who have been through a title chase is a plus.

With Noah Carter playing the center spot Jacobson is concerned about Illinois State’s size.

Illinois State fired head coach Dan Mueller on Sunday but he will finish the season. Mueller also played at Illinois State.

AHSTW storms past Griswold

Sports

February 14th, 2022 by admin

The AHSTW Vikings stormed past the Griswold Tigers 85-22 on Monday night in Avoca. The Vikings impressed from the outset, starting the game with a 12-0 run and leading 33-9 by the end of the first quarter. The Vikings continued to build on that lead and paved their way to the District Semifinals on Thursday.

Brayden Lund had a terrific outing with 22 of his game-high 24 points in the first half, including five three-point makes. Lund hit a two right at the end of the first quarter that the crowd celebrated loudly. That was the hoop that put the Junior over 1,000 for his career. After the game Lund said it was nice to get into a groove early.

Kyle Sternberg added 18 points and Raydden Grobe had 14 in the Vikings 21st win of the season. A running clock was in place for the entire second half and the starters got their curtain call in the third quarter. Lund said it was fun to see some of the other guys get on the floor.

The Vikings will host Audubon in a District Semifinal on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. It will be the late game following IKM-Manning facing Exira-EHK in the other semi at 6:30 p.m.

Griswold was led by 11 points from Kamron Brownlee. The Tigers end the season at 4-17.

Audubon wins see-saw affair over Riverside

Sports

February 14th, 2022 by admin

Carson Bauer converted a huge three point play late and Audubon came up with a stop to defeat Riverside 69-67 in a 1A District 15 Quarterfinal on Monday in Avoca.

It was a great battle all game with both teams shooting the ball well and coming up with big plays. The lead changed 17 times and the game was tied on 9 occasions. After Grady Jeppesen hit a three to give Riverside the lead at 67-66, the Wheelers answered with a great pass from Braden Wessel to Carson Bauer on the opposite block. Bauer converted and got fouled. He connected on the free throw to put Audubon on top by two. Audubon took the ball back and missed the front end of a bonus opportunity but thought they were going back to the free throw line when Jackson Deist got a rebound and threw the ball back out to Edward Miller near center court. A foul was called but after a conference by the officials it was determined that Miller hadn’t established himself back on that side of the floor and a backcourt violation was called. Riverside had one last chance with 7 seconds left and Mason McCready couldn’t quite connect on a good look at three. Gavin Smith grabbed the rebound and heaved it downcourt to run out the clock.

Jackson Deist had a big game for the Wheelers with 25 points , including 6 makes from three. After the game he said he felt confident with his shot right away. He said they knew it would be a battle.

The Wheelers made some big hay along the baseline against the Bulldogs 1-3-1 zone and Deist said they tried to take advantage there.

Audubon improved to 9-13 on the season and advanced to the District Quarterfinals against AHSTW back on the same floor on Thursday at 8:00 p.m.

Riverside got 24 from Grady Jeppesen and 23 from Aiden Bell, who connected on 7 threes in the game. The Bulldogs finish their season at 12-10.
