Northern Iowa knocks off Southern Illinois 67-58

Sports

January 31st, 2016 by Ric Hanson

CEDER FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Bennett Koch scored 22 points with 11 rebounds — both career highs — and Northern Iowa knocked off Southern Illinois 67-58 on Sunday. Koch went 8 of 9 from the field with three blocked shots for the Panthers (12-11, 4-6 Missouri Valley). Wes Washpun scored 16 points and Matt Bohannon added 12. The Panthers made just 3 of 19 from beyond the arc, but made up for that with 20 made free throws in 30 attempts.

Southern Illinois (18-5, 7-3 Missouri Valley) was paced by Anthony Beane with 16 points and Sean O’Brien with 14. Northern Iowa closed the first half with a 12-4 run — including a 3-pointer and pair of free throws by Bohannon — to forge a tie at 29. Midway through the second, the Salukis went 4:26 without scoring while UNI built a 10-point lead, which it nursed down the stretch.

January 31st, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Peter Jok had 22 of his 26 points in the second half to help third-ranked Iowa blow past Northwestern 85-71 on Sunday. Jarrod Uthoff scored 23 points for the Hawkeyes (17-4, 8-1 Big Ten), who sent Northwestern to its fifth straight loss.

Uthoff shook off his season-low nine points in Thursday’s defeat at No. 8 Maryland with 19 in the first half as Iowa went up by 16. Jok followed with three straight 3s and Iowa rolled to its seventh league win by at least 10 points. Tre Demps had a season-high 30 points for Northwestern (15-8, 3-7). Bryant McIntosh, the Wildcats’ leading scorer at 15 points per game, was held to just four.

Iowa News Headlines: Sun., 1/31/16

News

January 31st, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — From raising the minimum wage to legalizing medical marijuana, some bills in the Iowa Legislature have an uphill battle that isn’t so steep in some other statehouses. Two dozen states have a system that allows residents to bypass lawmakers and place proposed initiatives on an election ballot. The system varies by state, but the idea is that citizens should have an option B when it comes to enacting potential laws. Iowa doesn’t have such a system, and that means state lawmakers might face a little less pressure to pass certain bills, much to the frustration of some residents seeking action. Despite that, there seems to be a consensus among Iowa lawmakers that the current system should remain and that approving an option B could complicate things.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is airing 30-minute television programs in every Iowa television market this weekend. Rubio is flying from Dubuque to Sioux City and other cities this weekend as part of a busy weekend of campaigning heading into Monday’s Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the 2016 race for president. The Florida senator has held more public events in Iowa since Thanksgiving than any other Republican.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Police in eastern Iowa are investigating separate shootings only hours apart. The first was reported Friday night on East 6th Street in Davenport. The Quad-City Times reports that a woman was wounded in that shooting around 9:30 p.m. and taken to a local hospital. Police say a van parked the street and a nearby house were hit by the gunfire. Four people in a car chased by police from the area were taken in for questioning.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A newly-opened restaurant in Waterloo is now closed for at least a week to clean up from an accidental fire. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the blaze broke out in Tokyo Bay just after 3 a.m. Saturday.

(Update 12:59-a.m. 1/31) – Harlan & Council Bluffs males injured during a pursuit leads to crash in Shelby County Sat. night

News

January 31st, 2016 by Ric Hanson

(Update to our report posted Saturday night)

A pickup truck being pursued by a Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy crashed Saturday night, injuring two young men. Dispatch reports during the chase indicated the pickup reached speed of up to 100 miles per hour, but for the last few miles was about 75-80 mph on the gravel. The Iowa State Patrol reports 18-year old Justin Dickinson, of Harlan, was the driver of a 1994 Dodge Dakota pickup that went out of control and rolled over south of Jacksonville, at around 8:45-p.m.

The Patrol says the pickup, which was traveling northbound at a high rate of speed during the pursuit, entered the west ditch at the intersection of Shelby County Road M-56 and Highway 44. The vehicle hit an embankment before rolling over and coming to rest on its wheels. Dickinson, and his passenger, 17-year old Nicholas Haner, of Council Bluffs, both of whom were wearing seat belts, were injured during the crash and transported to Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan, by Medivac Ambulance.

While dispatch reports at the time of the crash said one of the males was critically injured and was to be flown to a trauma center, the State Patrol could not confirm that information early this (Sunday) morning. Harlan Fire and Rescue and deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Patrol at the crash scene.

Another, separate accident happened minutes later about two-miles north of Harlan on Linden Road, where a vehicle went into a ditch. No injuries were reported.
