IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Peter Jok scored 24 points, including a 3 with 25 seconds left in overtime, and Iowa rallied to beat Florida State 78-75 on Wednesday night to seal the Big Ten/ACC Challenge for its league. Jarrod Uthoff added 15 with eight rebounds for the Hawkeyes (5-2), which won its third straight at home.
Florida State tied it at 71-all on a Boris Bojanovsky tip-in with 2:02 left. But Jok got free in the corner and drilled a 3 that gave Iowa a 74-72 lead. Malik Beasley scored 20 points for Florida State (4-2), which lost despite grabbing 19 offensive rebounds.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tulane has named Troy Dannen as the university’s new athletics director, luring him away from the same post at Northern Iowa. The announcement, made Wednesday by Tulane president Michael Fitts, comes as the Green Wave seeks a new football coach to take over for Curtis Johnson, who was fired last weekend following a second straight 3-9 season.
Fitts says Dannen was hired because he has “demonstrated outstanding leadership and success in every job, at every level,” and because of “his dedication to his student-athletes and his goal to win championships in every sport.”
Dannen says Tulane, which recently built a new on-campus football stadium and a new practice center for basketball, was attractive to him because it has built a “terrific infrastructure” that has set the university up to win.
Alabama running back Derrick Henry, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey and Iowa cornerback Desmond King are the five finalists for the Walter Camp player of the year award. The Walter Camp award is voted on by FBS head coaches and sports information directors, and the winner will be announced Dec. 10.
Henry, considered the Heisman Trophy favorite, leads the nation in touchdowns with 22 going into the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday. Watson has accounted for 36 touchdowns for No. 1 Clemson. McCaffrey leads the nation in all-purpose yards with 3,305 for No. 7 Stanford.
Mayfield has passed for 3,389 and 35 touchdowns for the Big 12 champions. King leads the nation with eight interceptions for No. 4 Iowa.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have placed offensive guard Ben Grubbs on injured reserve with a neck injury and brought in back backup center Daniel Munyer to help with their ailing offensive line. The Chiefs announced the moves before Wednesday’s practice.
Grubbs, a two-time Pro Bowl selection with New Orleans, was acquired by Kansas City prior to this season. He started seven games before the neck problem cropped up, and the Chiefs were hopeful that he would be able to return to the field this season.
In other injury news, outside linebacker Justin Houston is day to day with a hyperextended left knee. Offensive lineman Jeff Allen has an ankle injury, while center Mitch Morse and wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas are undergoing concussion testing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Royals have acquired backup catcher Tony Cruz from the St. Louis Cardinals for minor league infielder Jose Martinez while designating catcher Francisco Pena for assignment. The teams announced the trade Wednesday.
Cruz hit .204 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 9 games for the Cardinals. The 29-year-old, who can also play third base, could compete with Drew Butera for the backup catcher job behind Sal Perez. Butera is eligible for arbitration after arriving in Kansas City in a trade this past season. Cruz also is arbitration eligible.
The 19-year-old Martinez spent most of last season at rookie-level Burlington, hitting .243 with four doubles, a homer and 24 RBIs in 57 games.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Matt Campbell’s first staff at Iowa State will apparently look a lot like his last one at Toledo. Campbell announced his first four hires Tuesday, and all four have connections to Campbell while with the Rockets.
Former Toledo assistant Tom Manning will be Iowa State’s offensive line coach. D.K. McDonald will work with the cornerbacks and John Kuceyeski will be Campbell’s director of scouting. Alex Golesh, who spent the last four seasons at Illinois, will be Campbell’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator.
Campbell, hired Sunday to replace Paul Rhoads, says he has a “pretty good idea” of who his coordinators will be but didn’t offer specifics.
The Atlantic Boys Basketball team got their 2015-16 season off to a great start on Tuesday night at the Atlantic High School with an 84-46 win over Winterset. The Trojans jumped out to a 30-14 lead at the end of the first quarter and led by 15 at halftime.
Head Coach Alan Jenkins thought his team played a great overall game but felt like their defensive effort wasn’t great in the first half with a lot of missed assignments. The Trojans responded to that challenge in a big way in the third quarter as they held Winterset to just 4 points in the quarter while stretching their lead to 38 points at 73-35.
Atlantic was led in the win by Ryan Hawkins and Garrett Franken with 24 points each. Two other players also finished in double figures as Austin Alexander had 12pts and Scott Leonard at 11pts. The Trojans dominated the rebounding effort throughout the game and shot 14-20 from the free throw line.
The Trojans now travel to Council Bluffs on Friday to take on Hawkeye 10 foe St. Albert.
