TERRY TOWERY Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Ayo Dosunmu scored 25 points, Trent Frazier had 24 and No. 19 Illinois upset No. 7 Iowa 80-75. In one of the most entertaining games of the Big Ten season, the teams traded leads for most of the game. Illinois finally took command in the final two minutes but was up by only three points when Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon missed a hurried 3 pointer with 11 seconds left. The Illini’s Kofi Cockburn was immediately fouled and missed his free throw but grabbed the rebound. Cockburn was fouled again with 2 seconds left and sank both shots to seal the win.

ST. LOUIS, MO. – January 29, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed to terms with free-agent pitcher Adam Wainwright on a one-year contract for the upcoming 2021 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Wainwright, 39, will be entering his 17th season with the Cardinals in 2021, matching Bob Gibson (17 years, 1959-75) for the 2nd-most seasons as a pitcher in a Redbirds uniform. Jesse Haines (18 years, 1920-37) is the only Cardinals pitcher with more years.

“We are pleased to announce that Adam is returning for the upcoming season, and we look forward to seeing him continue to add to his great Cardinals legacy,” stated Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak.  “While he continues to pitch at a high level, Adam also remains a highly-respected team leader who has committed himself to being a wonderful ambassador for both the game and his community.”

Wainwright ranks 3rd all-time among Cardinals in wins (167), 2nd in strikeouts (1,830) and 6th in innings pitched (2,169.1). The two-time World Series Champion (2006 & 2011) and three-time All-Star (2010, 2013, 2014) ranks 7th among active pitchers in wins, 11th in strikeouts, and 8th in ERA (3.38), despite missing significant time due to injury in 2011, 2015 and 2018.

Wainwright paced St. Louis in wins (5), starts (10), strikeouts (54), and innings pitched (65.2) last season, while ranking among NL leaders in wins (T8th), ERA (3.15, 10th), complete games (2, T1st), quality starts (7, T8th), average against (.221, 9th), WHIP (1.05, 7th), win percentage (.625, T12th), Hits/9 IP (7.40, 9th), and base runners/9 IP (9.73, 8th). He threw 6.0 or more innings in eight starts and 7.0 or more innings in four.

“Uncle Charlie” celebrated his 39th birthday by hurling his 23rd career complete game and 200th quality start in a 7-2 win over Cleveland at Busch Stadium on August 30. The right-hander allowed four hits for a pair of runs and fanned nine in 9.0 innings in his first complete game since 2016, which also coincided with Yadier Molina appearing in his 2,000th career game. At age 39, and also as the oldest active pitcher in the National League, Adam became the oldest Cardinal to earn a win in a complete game since Chuck Finley (39.274) in 2002 and the oldest to throw a complete game win with nine or more strikeouts since Dazzy Vance (42.183) at Chicago in 1933.

Three starts later, Wainwright tossed his 24th career complete game in a 4-2 win at Milwaukee (9/16/20 – Game 1), becoming the fourth pitcher age 39 or older to throw two complete games in a single season since 2010 (R.A. Dickey, Bartolo Colon, Jamie Moyer) and the first Cardinal to do so since Jim Kaat (six in 1980).

A former Rawlings Gold Glove (2009 & 2013) and National League Silver Slugger (2017) award winner, Wainwright owns a career mark of 167-98 with a 3.38 ERA in 393 games (326 starts) covering 2,169.1 innings pitched.  He is the Cardinals all-time leader in postseason games pitched (28) and strikeouts (118) and was on the mound for the Cardinals World Series and National League Championship Series clinching wins in 2006.

Adam was named the 2020 recipient of the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award this past November, recognizing him for his many contributions both on and off the field.

MANHATTAN, Kansas – Iowa State (11-5, 7-2 Big 12) got head coach Bill Fennelly his 700th career win with a gritty 62-60 victory over Kansas State (5-8, 0-6 Big 12) Thursday evening at Bramlage Coliseum. Fennelly is the 26th coach in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history to reach 700 wins, and is one of 12 active DI women’s hoops coaches with 700 career victories.

Some strong runs of play saw Iowa State build up an 11-point lead in the second quarter, and a nine-point lead in the third. However, K-State hung tough and slowed down the game enough to give themselves a chance in the final minute. The Cyclones, as they have many times under Fennelly, iced the game away at the free throw line via 6-of-8 shooting from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter.

Leading the way was Ashley Joens, who notched her 11th-20-point game of the season with 22 points, and added eight rebounds. Kristin Scott got all 15 of her points in the first half and added six rebounds.

Iowa State returns to Hilton on Sunday to take on No. 9. Tip between the Cyclones and Lady Bears will be at 3 p.m. on ESPN2.
