Lee earns 2nd Big Ten Wrestler of the Week Honor

Sports

January 24th, 2023 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Fifth-year senior Spencer Lee has been named the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week, it was announced Tuesday by the league office.  It is Lee’s second honor this season and the sixth of his career.

The Murrysville, Pennsylvania, native earned the distinction after posting back-to-back falls in dual wins over No. 11 Nebraska and No. 16 Wisconsin.  Lee pinned the Huskers’ third-ranked Liam Cronin in 38 seconds and No. 4 Eric Barnett in 4:38.

The falls were Lee’s fifth and sixth consecutive pins this season – a career long streak.  His last four falls have come against wrestlers ranked in the top 10 nationally.  Lee’s 38-second pin over Cronin was tied for the third-fastest of his collegiate career and it was his 10th career fall in under one minute and 27th first-period fall.

Lee is 10-0 with 10 bonus-point victories this season and he is currently riding a 48-match winning streak dating back to the 2019 season.  It is the ninth-longest streak in program history.

Lee was previously named the Big Ten Co-Wrestler of the Week on Jan. 11.  He also earned the distinction once during the 2017-18 season, twice during the 2020-21 campaign and once last season.

Iowa has had three weekly honorees this season as Cobe Siebrecht was named the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week on Nov. 30.

The second-ranked Hawkeyes return to action Friday, traveling to Happy Valley to face top-ranked Penn State at 7:30 p.m. (CT) from the Bryce Jordan Center. The dual will be televised live on BTN.

The Trojans improve to 12-4 on the season and will be right back at it on Tuesday with a trip to Shenandoah.

A 14-0 run midway through the third quarter put the Panthers up 51-47 before Atlantic swung back to lead 54-53 at the end of the period. Atlantic Coach Derek Hall said the Trojans got off track in that final period.

Logan Anson added 14 points and Patrick Varner had 12 for Creston. They improve to 8-4 on the season and will be back at it on Tuesday night at Glenwood. Coach Hall gave a lot of credit to Cael Turner for stepping his game up in the second half.

Sports

January 24th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State takes on college basketball’s biggest surprise tonight (Tuesday night), when the 12th ranked Cyclones host number five Kansas State. Picked to finish last in the Big 12 preseason poll the Wildcats are 17-2 overall and lead the Big 12 with a 6-1 mark. The combination of Keyantae Johnson and Markquis Nowell averaged more than 35 points per game for K-State and Nowell averages more than eight assists per game.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who says Johnson can score down low and also step out.

Otzelberger says ever night is a challenge in the Big 12.

Iowa State senior guard Caleb Grill may miss tonight’s game with a back injury.  Coach Otzelberger says the injury occurred in last week’s win over Texas and resurfaced in Saturday’s loss at Oklahoma State. Grill played just 17 minutes and only attempted one shot.

The Cyclones have been without forward Jaz Kunc with a broken finger but have still managed to start 5-2 in Big 12 play.

If Grill is out senior guard Jaren Holmes my be counted on for a larger roll. He can play the point or off guard.

Grill averages nearly 10 and-a-half points per game and is ISU’s top three point shooter at better than 37 percent.
