Iowa Defeats Central Arkansas 105-64

Sports

December 20th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — In what’s often been a trying stretch for Iowa, the Hawkeyes finally got to clear out the bench and savor an easy victory. Devyn Marble had 19 points and six assists, freshman Aaron White added 17 points and Iowa pounded Central Arkansas 105-64 on Monday night. Melsahn Basabe had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Hawkeyes (7-5), who cracked the 100-point barrier for just the second time under coach Fran McCaffery.

Iowa opened the game with a 24-5 run and led by 13 at halftime despite five 3-pointers from Central Arkansas’s Dewan Clayborn. The Hawkeyes pushed their lead to 75-46 with 12 minutes remaining and cruised to back-to-back victories for the first time in a month. Clayborn had 18 points to lead the Bears (5-5), who’ve dropped two in a row after winning five straight. Central Arkansas never led, but it briefly scared the Hawkeyes with a pair of runs late in the first half. This was the fourth win by 20 points or more this season for Iowa, which has shown signs of progress since a disheartening 0-2 road trip against rivals Northern Iowa and Iowa State.

Iowa State holds off Central Michigan 59-52

Sports

December 18th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Royce White had 14 points and eight rebounds and Iowa State held off Central Michigan 59-52 on Sunday for its third straight win. Chris Babb scored 11 points for the Cyclones (8-3), who survived a second-half scare from the Chippewas (5-6). Central Michigan took its first lead, 48-47, with 6:48 left. Iowa State grabbed the lead back on a breakaway dunk from Tyrus McGee, and White gave the Cyclones the ball back with a block with 42 seconds left. The Cyclones would have likely put the game away earlier, but they shot just 13 of 21 from the free-throw line in the second half. Trey Zeigler had 19 points for Central Michigan, which lost its fourth game in five tries.

Packers perfect season ends with 19-14 loss to KC

Sports

December 18th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers’ perfect season came to a crashing halt on Sunday against the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs, who rallied behind interim coach Romeo Crennel and new quarterback Kyle Orton to a shocking 19-14 victory. Orton finished 23 of 31 for 299 yards in his first start for the Chiefs (6-8), who fired coach Todd Haley last Monday with the team having lost five of its last six games. The loss also ended the Packers’ 19-game winning streak. But behind an inspired performance by the defense, four field goals by Ryan Succop and Jackie Battle’s short touchdown run with 4:53 left in the game, Kansas City managed to hand the Packers (13-1) their first loss since Dec. 19, 2010, at New England — exactly one day shy of a full year. Aaron Rodgers was just 17 of 35 for 235 yards and a touchdown, and he also scampered eight yards for another touchdown with 2:12 left in the game. But the Packers were unable to recover the onside kick and then pick up a couple of first downs to secure the victory.

U. of Northern Iowa pledges broad sex bias review

News, Sports

December 18th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Northern Iowa has announced plans for a wide-ranging review of the way its athletics department and other offices handle sexual harassment and assault complaints. All three of Iowa’s public universities are reviewing policies for preventing and reporting child abuse after coaches at Penn State and Syracuse have been accused of using their positions to meet victims. But UNI is going further than the others, performing a review and audit to determine whether its practices comply with the federal law known as Title IX that bans gender discrimination in public education. A Davenport woman suing the university for the way she was treated after two football players sexually assaulted her in 2004 has been seeking precisely such a review in her pending lawsuit, which was filed in 2007.
