AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men’s basketball team will be traveling overseas this summer for a foreign trip, spending 10 days and nine nights in Italy and playing three games against international competition.
The trip will provide value for a Cyclone squad that could return just two of its top six scorers from last year’s NCAA Tournament team.
“We are excited to be able to take our guys on a trip that will provide them with memories and experiences that will last a lifetime,” head coach Steve Prohm said. “It will give us the opportunity to work with them more on the court in a team setting this summer and allow them to get acclimated to each other. We are grateful that our administration supports us by allowing us to take these trips.”
The trip, which will take place Aug. 10-20, will start in Rome before stops in Florence, Pisa and Venice. While Iowa State’s opponents are yet to be determined, the trip will feature historical and educational stops with tours planned of the Roman Colosseum, Vatican City, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and more.
Iowa State will be making a summer trip for the fourth time in program history. Previously, the Cyclones have traveled to Mexico (2004), Italy (2011) and Spain (2015).
The Cyclones are tentatively scheduled to play games on Aug. 13 in Rome, Aug. 15 in Pisa and Aug. 18 in Vicenza. The schedule and opponents will be confirmed in the month prior to the team departing.
The Atlantic Parks and Recreation is sponsoring a Sunday outdoor Pickleball experience once again this summer. Play will be held every Sunday night at 5:30pm at the Sunnyside Park basketball courts. The opening date for play will be May 12th.
New players are always welcome and equipment is provided for players at the site. If you are interested in instruction Gail and Bruce Henderson will be available from 5:00pm-5:30pm during May to help get you off on the right foot in the sport.
If you have any questions or are interested in instruction call Bruce Henderson at 712-249-8255 or reach him by email at bghenderson@mchsi.com.

(Radio Iowa) — Governor Kim Reynolds isn’t giving any indication on what she will do with several high-profile bills that passed the recent legislative session. She does say that there has been a lot of input on whether she should sign or veto the sports gambling bill. “I’m hearing on both sides, I’ve had a lot of people reach out,” Reynolds says. The bill approved by lawmakers would let the state’s casinos take bets on professional and college sports — either at the casinos or elsewhere via a smart-phone app. Reynolds says many people don’t want to see her sign the bill into law. “They’re concerned about addiction to gambling and the impact that this may have,”according to Reynolds.
Others say the state needs to take control. “I had a lot of other people who have indicated it is happening, it is going to continue to happen — and they think it is very important that we have some kind of oversight,” Reynolds says. Reynolds says both sides have made their feelings known. “You know it’s pretty equal right now, but I am hearing a lot from both,” she says.
The governor says she is treating the gambling bill like all the others and will go over it with her team and make a decision on whether to sign it into law.
Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Adam Wainwright pitched neatly into the seventh inning, helping himself by kicking the ball over to first for a key out, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 3-2. Harrison Bader drove in two runs and Kolten Wong had two hits as NL Central-leading St. Louis earned its fourth straight win. It was the Cardinals’ 18th victory in April, matching a team record set in 2008.
SEATTLE (AP) — The Chicago Cubs will option shortstop Addison Russell to Triple-A Iowa when he’s eligible to return from his 40-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy later this week. Cubs manager Joe Maddon said the team wants to give Russell more time in the minors before rejoining the major league roster. Russell was suspended last fall after a series of allegations made by his ex-wife.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays’ game against the Kansas City Royals was washed out Tuesday night, and the teams will make it up at part of a doubleheader Wednesday with the first game starting at 12:15 p.m. The second game will begin 45 minutes after the first game.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Big 12 coaches are discussing the implementation of a standardized conference-wide injury report, but they would prefer some type of national uniformity. The Big 12 is among six FBS conferences holding spring meetings in Arizona this week. Introducing NFL-style injury reports to college football has become more likely in the past year as legal wagering on sporting events has become more prevalent. Currently, the sharing of information about injured players varies from school to school.
SEATTLE (AP) — The Chicago Cubs will option shortstop Addison Russell to Triple-A Iowa when he’s eligible to return from his 40-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy later this week.
Cubs manager Joe Maddon said the team wants to give Russell more time in the minors before rejoining the major league roster. Maddon said Tuesday before Chicago opened a two-game series in Seattle that he didn’t expect Russell to be in the minors for long.
Russell was suspended last fall after a series of allegations made by his ex-wife. Without getting into specifics, Russell said in February that he was accountable for his past actions and apologized for “the hurt and the pain” he caused.
Russell had been working out in Arizona, playing in extended spring training games and meeting with a counselor twice a week before joining Iowa last week to begin getting ready for the season.
