Iowa State’s first road test in Big-12 Conference play will be as tough one when they visit second ranked Baylor tonight (Wednesday night). The Cyclones opened the league race by rallying for a victory at home over Texas Tech and now face a Baylor team that coach Steve Prohm says is a tough match-up.

Baylor is 13-0 and Prohm says the few teams that have played the Bears close played with an edge. The toughest match-up for Iowa State may be Baylor 6-10 forward Jonathan Motley, who averages more than 16 points and nine rebounds.

The game will match Iowa State’s four-guard look against the size of Baylor. Tip-time is 7-p.m.

The Iowa Hawkeye women were outscored 19-9 in the third quarter and lost at Penn State 71-58 in Big Ten play, Tuesday. The Hawkeyes also lost the battle on the glass 42-30. Megan Gustafson led Iowa with 21 points while Tania Davis added 14 as the Hawkeyes slip to 1-2 in the Big Ten. It was the first league victory for the Nittany Lions after an 0-2 start.

It was a see-saw affair on Tuesday night between Atlantic and Harlan in Boys Basketball and the Cyclones made just enough plays down the stretch to win 74-71.  Both teams traded the lead throughout the night but it was back to back three point plays from Logan Klaassen that got Harlan the late lead they would hang on to for the win. In back-to-back possessions Klaassen hit a three and got a hoop and one to flip the score from 64-65 to 70-65 in favor of the Cyclones. Harlan would then run as much clock as they could and ended up with three straight 1 and bonus opportunities due to offensive rebounds. Atlantic got the lead back down to two after an Austin Alexander three before Caleb Rasmussen made one free throw to push the lead back to three.  Atlantic got a couple of good looks from the outside by Chase Mullenix but his tries were off the mark. Rasmussen missed two freebies with 4 seconds left but Atlantic couldn’t get a shot off before the final horn.

Much of the scoring came from the three point line as the teams combined for 25 makes from distance.  Atlantic Head Coach Alan Jenkins said it wasn’t the game plan to shoot as much as they did from the outside but both teams were making them.

Coach Jenkins felt like the game was really lost on the defensive end of the floor.

Harlan Senior Guard Caleb Rasmussen had a huge impact on the game with his ability to drive into the lane and not only score 18 points himself but create open shots for teammates.

The Cyclones were led by Logan Klassen’s 24 points and improve to 3-1 in conference play and 4-4 overall. Atlantic falls to 3-1 in Hawkeye Ten play and 6-3 overall. They were led by Austin Alexander with 24 points off 8 made threes and Garrett Franken with 21.  The Trojans next travel to Denison on Friday night, a game we’ll have for you on KJAN.

The Atlantic Boys Basketball Team travels to Harlan tonight to face the Cyclones in a big Hawkeye Ten game right out of the holiday break.  The Trojans will be trying to bounce back into the win column after dropping their final two games before the holiday break putting their record at 6-2. The Cyclones will also be attempting to buck a losing streak as they lost 4 straight before the break to put their overall record at 3-4.

This is the first meeting of the season between the two rivals and it will be the match-up that counts toward the conference standings. The Trojans are 2-0 in league play thus far, while the Cyclones are 2-1.

Atlantic has been led by Senior Garrett Franken who comes in averaging 25 points and 8 rebounds per game.  Harlan has been led by Senior Guard Caleb Rasmussen averaging 16 points and 5 assists. Each squad has two other players averaging double figures in scoring. The Cyclones won both meetings last year.

We’ll have coverage of the game tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks has the call on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com and on the KJAN Mobile App. You can also check out live streaming video on our TV page at kjan.com. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30pm and we’ll be on the air about 7:20pm with pregame coverage.

Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard’s health was a key topic of discussion during the Hawkeye’s 30-3 loss to Florida in the Outback Bowl Monday. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said after the game that he talked to Beathard after he injured his hamstring in a first quarter run that ended one yard from the end zone. “He’s always going to say he’s going to play. If he had a broken leg, that’s going to be his answer,” according to Ferentz.

“We’ve had a lot of tough guys come through the University of Iowa and play football — at least in my 27 years at and he’s right up there at the top. We have to look and see what it looks like. If he’s in harms way we are going to get him out of there certainly. First and foremost it’s a medical decision to be made by the doctors and trainers. So, it starts there, but if he could go, he’s allowed to go, much like last year.”

Beathard says he knew he was hurt and lobbied to stay in the game. “I told them I wanted to stay in there as much as possible. If I could do it, I was going to stay in,” Beathard says. He says he was only about 30 percent when it came to running, but says he didn’t think he was in bad enough shape to take himself out of the game. “I wasn’t going to do that no — especially in my last game — maybe in a different game possibly. That’s not who I am. If I could stay in and play the game I was going to do that,” Beathard says.

Beathard ended up with his worst game statistically as a starter, hitting just 7 of 23 passes for 55 yards and three interceptions. He did however finish his career as the quarterback with the best winning percentage who started at least 20 games, going 20-7. While Beathard talked about not wanting to come out of his last game, defensive back

Desmond King talked about his decision to return for his senior season after being a consensus All-American in his junior year.”I think the four years I have been here was fantastic…I am 100 percent with the decision that I made to come back to the University of Iowa to get my degree and to lead this team the right way,” King says. “And I felt that I put that in effect and it came out positive.”

He says being a leader on this year’s team was important. “I felt like it was a very good thing that I came back,” King says. King appeared in his 53rd game and made his 51st start — both of which are records. He made a circus-like interception in the game — which was the 14th of his career and tied him with Damien Robinson for fourth all time in Hawkeye history.
