January 28th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Sixth ranked Purdue scorched the nets for 61 percent shooting, including 13 of 22 from three points range in an 83-73 win over Iowa, Thursday, in Iowa City. The Boilers raced out to a 30-15 lead at the outset and were never threatened. Kris Murray led Iowa with 23 points as the Hawkeyes struggled on offense in the opening half.

Iowa cut an 18-point deficit to five in the second half but could get no closer.

The Hawkeyes fall to 4-5 in the Big Ten and 14-6 overall.

The top two wrestling teams in the country collide tonight (Friday night) in Iowa City, when top ranked Penn State visits second ranked Iowa. The Hawkeyes put their 29-match win streak in duals on the line. Iowa coach Tom Brands.

A sold out crowd of nearly 15 thousand will be on hand at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Brands says it will be up to the Hawkeyes to make the crowd a factor.

Iowa 197 pounder Jacob Warner says the Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions begin each season with the goal of winning an NCAA title.

Iowa 174-pounder Michael Kemerer says it has developed into a great rivalry.

Iowa opened the season top ranked but fell to second after three time national champion Spencer Lee had to cut his season short for ACL surgery on both knees.

Bluder says the Hawkeyes are a much more confident team than the first time they played Northwestern.

After setting a Big Ten record with 18 assists in a win at Penn State Hawkeye sophomore Caitlin Clark heads into the game as the nation’s leader in scoring and assists.

Clark says limiting turnovers against Northwestern is a key.

The Hawkeyes are 7-1 in the Big Ten.

Okoboji Winter Games begin

News, Sports

January 27th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The annual University of Okoboji Winter Games begin today (Thursday) with thousands of people expected to take part through the weekend. Okoboji Director of Tourism Rebecca Peters estimates the games for the fictional university have a three-million-dollar economic impact on the area.

The games feature everything from a polar plunge, broom ball, snowmobiles, and a kite festival. Most of the tourism in the area happens when the lakes aren’t frozen and there’s no snow on the ground.

Peters says there’s another benefit to the winter games as she says finding ways for locals to enjoy Okoboji beyond the summer months has helped fuel population growth in Dickinson County.
