The Iowa Hawkeyes take a 6-5 Big Ten record on the road to play Minnesota. The Golden Gophers snapped a five game losing skid with a 68-59 win at Illinois. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. McCaffery says Gopher point guard Nate Mason is a difficult matchup for the Hawkeyes. He averages 14 points and more than five assists per game.
At 16-7 overall the Gophers are making a good run at an NCAA Tournament bid. McCaffery says he’s not surprised by the progress they have made. Minnesota is 4-6 in the Big Ten. Gopher head coach Richard Pitino says Iowa is on a roll right now. Pitino says Iowa is a tough team to scout right now because Peter Jok has only played in one of the three games they’ve won in a row. He says his team is battle-tested through the first ten games of the Big Ten schedule, and that they want that Illinois game to give them momentum moving forward Pitino says his team will be challenged with Iowa’s offensive prowess tonight.
Tune-in for the pre-game show at 7-p.m. on KJAN, followed by the tip-off at 8-p.m. from Williams Arena in Minneapolis.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Paris Lee scored 26 points on 11-for-17 shooting, Keyshawn Evans scored 16 points and Illinois State drubbed Drake 82-53 on Tuesday night. Illinois State (20-5, 12-1 Missouri Valley) rebounded from Saturday’s 86-45 defeat against Wichita State and moved a half-game up of the Shockers (21-4, 11-1) for first place in the conference. Deontae Hawkins added 15 points for the Redbirds.
Illinois State led 37-34 at halftime, and just after intermission, Ore Arogundade made a 3 to bring Drake within 42-41. But the Redbirds took control with a 16-4 run, with nine points coming from Lee, and never looked back.
The Redbirds shot 69.2 percent (18 for 26) in the second half, including 4 for 8 from 3-point range. Drake (7-18, 5-8) shot 18.2 percent (6 for 33) from the floor and 3 for 15 from 3-point range. Billy Wampler scored 12 points and was the only player in double figures for the Bulldogs.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jarrett Allen scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds and made two free throws with 7.2 seconds left, to give Texas a 67-65 victory over Iowa State Tuesday night. Matt Thomas, who led Iowa State with 17 points, missed a long 3-pointer at the buzzer. Thomas finished 5-for-10 shooting from 3.
Shaq Cleare scored 12 points for Texas, and Andrew Jones added 10. The Cyclones’ Deonte Burton scored 13 points, and Naz Mitrou-Long had 12. Iowa State (14-9, 6-5 Big 12) trailed the entire game until Burton made a 3-point basket for a 63-all tie with 47 seconds remaining. Burton was wide open after Allen blocked a shot by Darrell Bowie and Monte Morris secured the rebound.
Texas (10-14, 4-7) came right back and scored 18 seconds later when Cleare made a layup after Burton blocked a shot by Kerwin Roach Jr. But Cleare, fouled on the play, missed the free throw, and Burton tied it again on a driving shot. The Cyclones put themselves in danger of getting blown out in the first half. They missed 15 of their first 17 shots, including nine of 10 3-pointers, and trailed 30-13 with less than four minutes remaining.
From there, though, Iowa State outscored Texas 16-5, making two 3-pointers, and trailed by a manageable six at the half despite getting outscored 20-4 in the paint.
