(Radio Iowa) – Drake coach Darian DeVries says senior point guard Roman Penn will try to play the rest of this season with an injured foot. Penn returned to the lineup this week after missing nearly a month after suffering as small fracture in his left foot.
DeVries says Penn’s conditioning is a question because he will be limited in practice.
Penn’s injury is one of the factors that has seen Drake under achieve this season. The preseason Valley favorites are 11-5 overall and 2-1 in conference play.
Drake hosts Illinois State Wednesday night.
(Radio Iowa) Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson says Noah Carter will remain the starter at center tonight (Tuesday night), when the Panthers host Indiana State. Junior center Austin Phyfe is still dealing with the long term effects of COVID and his playing time has been limited.
Jacobson says Phyfe’s minutes have varied from game to game.
The Panthers are riding a three game winning streak and Jacobson credits improved defense.
Jacobson says three point defense has made strides since the Panthers lost twice in Hawaii.
Indiana State has not played since January second due to a COVID pause and coach Josh Schertz says they will have a limited number of players.
Schertz says the Sycamores will be limited to seven players.
Schertz says with a short bench the Sycamores will be challenged on defense.
(Radio Iowa) – The 15th ranked Iowa State Cyclones look for a rare win in Allen Fieldhouse tonight (Tuesday night), with a visit to ninth ranked Kansas. The Cyclones have dropped 15 of their last 16 in Lawrence with the lone victory in 2017. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger is more concerned about how his team plays than where it is played.
Otzelberger says the Cyclones can’t get caught up in the atmosphere.
After opening 12-0 the Cyclones have lost two of their last three.
(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds will deliver the annual “Condition of the State” address tonight (Tuesday) — and she’s promised to reveal details of what she has described as a bold, yet practical plan to cut income taxes. “Iowa is moving in the right direction and I’m — and we’re — determined to build on the progress and the momentum that we’ve seen over the last couple of years,” Reynolds says. Reynolds signed a bill into law last June that eliminates the state inheritance tax and cuts personal income tax rates. This follows income tax reductions she approved in 2018.
“Despite tax cuts and record investments, the storms, the droughts and a worldwide pandemic,” Reynolds says, “we still managed to end Fiscal Year 2021 with $1.24 billion surplus and a billion dollars in cash reserve.” Democrats say the surplus wouldn’t have been possible without the billions in federal pandemic aid from the Trump and Biden Administrations. Reynolds took over as governor in mid-2017. Since then, Reynolds notes the state has endured unprecedented events like droughts, flooding, two derechos and a pandemic.
“As we all begin 2022, I really couldn’t be more hopeful about Iowa’s future and there are many reasons for my optimism, but at the top of the list is the strength and the resilience of Iowans in the face of adversity,” Reynolds said. The governor is scheduled to deliver her “Condition of the State” address in the Iowa House shortly after 6 p.m. tonight (Tuesday).
The Atlantic boys swim team came up short in a dual against Lewis Central on Monday night 105-58.
Jack Robbins (200 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle) and Patrick Chase (200 IM, 100 Backstroke) were two time winners on the night to lead the Titans.
Atlantic had a pair of wins in relay events. The Trojans won the 200 Yard Medley (Brayden Atkinson, Alex Sampson, Abe Schechinger, Bryan York) in a time of 1:59.39. The Trojans also won the 200 Freestyle Relay (Atkinson, Sampson, Keaten Rieken, Kyler Rieken) with a time of 1:44.11.
