AMES, Iowa (AP) — Freshmen Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe and Rondel Walker had career games in the absence of star classmate Cade Cunningham and Oklahoma State pulled away from short-handed Iowa State for an 81-60 win. Moncrieffe scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, both career highs and Walker had a career-high 20 points. Cunningham, the leading scorer in the Big 12 at 17.9 points a game, missed his second game due to COVID-19 protocol but was on the bench.

Iowa State athletic finances improving; new projects planned

Sports

January 25th, 2021 by admin

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s athletic budget outlook is better than expected and the school will push forward with several initiatives that are hoped to create new revenue streams. Those developments came from athletic director Jamie Pollard in a video sent to fans. The COVID-19 pandemic was expected to cause operating revenue to decrease from $90 million to $43 million and leave the department with a $35 million deficit after cost-savings measures were taken. Pollard said the ability to have limited fan attendance at most home football games generated an unexpected $8 million and cut the deficit to $25 million.
