Maryland outscored Iowa 47-29 in the second half and beat the Hawkeyes 78-66. Iowa led by 10 with 12 minutes remaining. Maryland finished 24 of 29 at the line. Iowa was eight of 12.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Payton Sandfort led Iowa with 19 points and Ben Krikke added 11 as the Hawkeyes fall to 6-8 in the Big Ten.

Audi Crooks and Addy Brown both had 20 points as the Iowa State women edged seventh ranked Kansas State 96-93 in a double overtime thriller in Ames.

That’s Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly. Iowa State connected on 31 of 36 free throws to snap a two game losing skid.

Caitlin Clark will try to make history Thursday night when the fourth ranked Iowa Hawkeye women host Michigan. The senior guard needs eight points to break the NCAA all-time scoring mark currently held by former Washington star Kelsey Plum. Clark does not view the chase as a burden and is trying to enjoy the moment.

Clark says she is trying to stay focused on the game.

Clark says Plum has reached out and been very supportive as she chases the record and she has tried to keep it all in perspective.

Clark says she did not think about the possibility of breaking the record until well into this season.

Clark hopes the game is not stopped when she breaks the record. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says there is nothing planned.

Clark was a prized recruit coming out of Dowling Catholic High School but Bluder admits she had no idea there was this kind of potential.

The Hawkeyes are 11-2 in the Big Ten and 22-3 overall.

The CAM Cougars boys basketball team is coming off a 57-42 win over Glidden-Ralston Wildcats this past Monday night.

They will now get to play their next on the road as they will be taking on the Madrid Tigers on Thursday night.

The Cougars are led in scoring by Sophomore Colin Bower and junior Chase Jahde who both average 14 points a piece.

This is what CAM Cougars head coach Ian Hunt had to say about his team played this past Monday night Glidden-Ralston.

Coach Hunt also had this to say about what kind of team Madrid is.

Up Next

The CAM Cougars will take on the Madrid Tigers on Friday in the next round of the District 15 Tournament. Tipoff is scheduled at 7:00 PM in Madrid.
