Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns, outplaying Arizona counterpart Josh Rosen and leading the Chiefs past the Cardinals 26-14. Mahomes threw both TD passes to Tyreek Hill, the second giving the Chiefs’ first-year starter the franchise record with 31 this season. Larry Fitzgerald passed Terrell Owens for No. 2 on the NFL’s career receiving yardage list late in the game. He finished with six catches for 50 yards to give him 15,952 for his brilliant career.

UNDATED (AP) — In case you missed it in Week 10 of the NFL season: New York Jets coach Todd Bowles might not last long after a big loss to the Buffalo Bills and a quarterback who hadn’t started in nearly two years. The Jets have lost four games in a row and are now 3-7. Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman knocked his team’s home fans after its latest road victory.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Luka Garza scored 17 points, Tyler Cook added 17 and Iowa overcame a sluggish start in a 93-82 win over Green Bay. The Phoenix (1-2) jumped out to an early 20-12 lead in the first half and hung around in the second.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Ty-Shon Alexander scored a career-high 20 points and Creighton closed on a 24-6 run to rally past East Tennessee State 75-69. Alexander made a long 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down for a 69-65 lead.

Iowa comes alive in 2nd half, sneaks past Green Bay, 93-82

Sports

November 12th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s offense struggled with turnovers early on, but thanks to its determination to feed the post, the Hawkeyes dominated down low in a 93-82 win over Green Bay on Sunday. Luka Garza and Tyler Cook muscled Phoenix defenders in the paint all game long, as each scored 17 points.

Forwards Garza, Cook, Nicholas Baer, and Ryan Kriener combined to score 54 points, but it was also Jordan Bohannon’s play on the outside that sparked Iowa’s second-half breakaway. Connor McCaffery’s presence at point guard allowed Bohannon to slide over from point to shooting guard, freeing him from primary ball-handling duties and giving him more looks from long-range. Bohannon scored all 13 of his points in the second half, hitting three of his six 3-point attempts.

Defense was Iowa’s Achilles’ heel last season and it showed again. It’s early, but giving up 82 points isn’t ideal for a team that made defense an offseason priority. Iowa’s bench scored 33 points. McCaffery’s squad prides itself on a deep rotation, and on Sunday, that was the case. Baer led the way, scoring 12 points, grabbing six rebounds, and tallying a steal and a block. McCaffery scored 11 points and dished three assists and Kriener added eight points.

McCaffery on playing alongside Bohannon: “He makes shots. I can take my guy off the dribble. It’s good to have two guards on the floor that really handle the ball, know what we’re doing at all times. I think it’s a good lineup. I love playing with him.”
