Corps to decrease flow from dam on Missouri River

News

December 7th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers is preparing to decrease the flow from Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota to increase flood control storage on the Missouri River, which had record flooding this year.The corps plans to gradually decrease the release starting Thursday. Officials say the current release rate of 40,000 cubic feet per second will be decreased by 3,000 cfs each day until Dec. 14, when the flows will be set at 20,000 cfs for the winter.The corps had initially planned to decrease the flow last week, but extended the high release to add additional storage for the runoff season next spring. The Missouri River had a summer of flooding because of heavy rain and melting snow.

Iowa State rolls past Prairie View A&M, 84-59

Sports

December 7th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Percy Gibson laid out a simple goal for himself in his first start for Iowa State.”I just wanted to come in and make as much impact as I could early so we could just keep the team going,” the freshman said.He did exactly that. Gibson scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half and Iowa State broke out of a two-game shooting slump with an 84-59 victory over Prairie View A&M on Tuesday night. Gibson started in place of Royce White, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, and came up big in helping the Cyclones (6-3) regain their touch after shooting just 39 percent in consecutive losses to Northern Iowa and Michigan. White did not start because he was 3 minutes late for the morning shoot-around.Chris Allen had 16 points for the Cyclones, who shot 55 percent in the first half and 52 percent for the game. White, who entered the game after the first media timeout, and Tyrus McGee each added 12 points. Jourdan DeMuynck’s 18 points led Prairie View (2-7), which lost its seventh straight.

Northern Iowa blows by Iowa 80-60

Sports

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, who’s known for his fiery demeanor on the sidelines, finally lost it on the officials and got himself ejected.Northern Iowa stayed calm, like it usually does, and turned a tight game against the Hawkeyes into an uncharacteristic rout.Anthony James scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and Northern Iowa blew past a frustrated Iowa 80-60 for its seventh straight win.Jake Koch added 13 points and six assists for the Panthers (8-1), who hit 11 3-pointers and improved to 3-0 against major-conference opponents this season. Northern Iowa led by just two points midway through the second half. But three consecutive technical fouls by the Hawkeyes helped spur a decisive 20-2 run by the Panthers.McCaffery, who was ejected with 4:47 to go after drawing his second technical, refused to address the events that led to his exit after the game.

“I thought our kids really fought hard (Tuesday) night, I really did,” McCaffery said when asked about the technicals.Devyn Marble had 14 points to lead Iowa (5-4), which played without starting point guard Bryce Cartwright. Cartwright is nursing a sore hamstring, and McCaffery said he’s not sure if Cartwright will be ready to play at Iowa State on Friday night.Northern Iowa was up 47-45 with 9:46 remaining when McCaffery went ballistic over a foul call, knocking over what appeared to be a basket of rosin from the scorer’s table in disgust and drawing his first technical.

James knocked down four straight free throws. The Hawkeyes drew two more technicals – one on the bench, another on Zach McCabe for punching the ball – and Northern Iowa stretched its lead to 55-45 in just 20 seconds.Iowa never recovered. James’ 3-pointer with 6:20 left put the Panthers ahead 61-47, rendering the rest of a chaotic night at the McLeod Center as garbage time. Northern Iowa, which also fell behind by 10 early in a 69-62 win at Iowa State last week, calmly scored the next eight points to prevent the Hawkeyes from running away with things.Chip Rank gave Northern Iowa its first lead, 24-23, on a 3-pointer with just over four minutes left in the first half. The Hawkeyes then left Rank wide open in the corner, and he converted a rare four-point play that helped put the Panthers ahead 32-27 at halftime.Northern Iowa was 29 of 33 from the free-throw line – with some of those attempts coming thanks to the Hawkeyes – and shot 45.5 percent from the field.Northern Iowa has three winnable home games left before the start of Missouri Valley play at Illinois State on Dec. 29.
