DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Samantha Logic’s contested drive through traffic with less than 3 seconds remaining gave No. 23 Iowa a wild 100-98 win over Drake on Sunday in a game that saw the teams combine for 24 points in the last 65 seconds. Melissa Dixon hit 10 3-pointers and scored 31 points for the Hawkeyes (9-2). Logic and Ally Disterhoft each had 18 points and Logic had 11 rebounds

Sophomore Lizzy Wendell hit a 3-pointer with 8.6 seconds left to tie the game and finished with a Knapp Center record 43 points for the Bulldogs (5-6). Becca Jones had 19 points and 13 rebounds, both career highs, and Caitlin Ingle, who missed a tough shot at the buzzer, had 17 points and 10 assists.

Drake led by as many as seven in the first half and was up 48-43 at the break. Iowa’s big lead was 88-80 with 2:56 to play. Both teams shot better than 50 percent and made 13 3-pointers. Iowa was just 17 of 27 from the line to help Drake down the stretch.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Ben Roethlisberger passed for 220 yards and a touchdown, Le’Veon Bell added a score and the Pittsburgh Steelers locked up a postseason berth with a methodical 20-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Pittsburgh (10-5) faces Cincinnati next week for the AFC North title. Either way, the Steelers will be playing January football for the first time since Tim Tebow and Denver stunned the defending AFC champions in the wild-card round three years ago.

Antonio Brown caught seven passes and a touchdown for Pittsburgh, which has won seven of nine and can clinch a division title for the first time since 2010 by beating the Bengals next week.

Kansas City’s Alex Smith passed for a season-high 311 yards but was sacked six times. The Chiefs (8-7) have lost four of five and need to beat San Diego next Sunday and receive plenty of help to make it back to the playoffs for a second straight year under coach Andy Reid.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Paul Jesperson scored 10 points and Northern Iowa rallied to beat Iowa 56-44 on Saturday in Des Moines and improve to 10-1. The Panthers held the Hawkeyes (8-4) to a season low in points and bounced back from their first loss of year, a 93-87 double-overtime defeat at VCU last week.

Northern Iowa opened the second half on a 16-3 run, and Matt Bohannon’s 3 with 2:02 left put Northern Iowa up 52-43. Mike Gesell had 10 points to lead Iowa, which shot just 27.5 percent. The Hawkeyes finished non-conference play at 1-4 against fellow Power 5 schools and the Panthers, who entered play with an RPI of 25. Iowa wilted early in the second half of losses to Texas and Iowa State.

The Hawkeyes crumbled yet again versus the Panthers.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Naz Long scored 13 points, Monte Morris had 12 and 13th-ranked Iowa State routed Drake 83-54 on Saturday. Dustin Hogue added 10 points to help the Cyclones (9-1) run their winning streak to six following a loss to Maryland last month.

Iowa State pushed a 16-point halftime lead to as much as 35 in the second half. The Cyclones shot 12 of 23 from 3-point range and had 25 assists on 32 field goals. Highly touted transfer Jameel McKay had eight points and five rebounds in his debut with Iowa State. McKay sat out the first nine games after transferring from Marquette last year.

Trevor Berkeley and Jacob Enevold each had 10 points to lead Drake (2-9).

Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the games played at CAM High School.
