The Atlantic boys basketball team lost a thriller on Friday night at Creston 60-57. The Trojans got down early in the ballgame but were able to fight back to a seven-point margin by the end of the third quarter. They then got the game all the way back to a one-point game late.

Kylan Smallwood went to the free-throw line for a one-and-one opportunity and knocked down both free throws to push the Creston lead back to three with just 14 seconds left in the game. Atlantic brought the ball up and Chase Mullenix had an opportunity from way outside for a 3 that would have tied it but it hit back-iron and Creston escaped with the win.

Kylan Smallwood led all scorers with a monster night of 38 points. Atlantic got 18 points from Tyler Moen and 17 points from Chase Mullenix, who had 15 of those in the second half.

The Trojans fall to 2-2 on the season with the loss and they will next to be home to host Glenwood coming up on Tuesday night as part of another double header. For Creston they improved to 2-2 and they will take on Harlan in their next outing on Tuesday.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A 22-point loss at Michigan State left many wondering if the 18th-ranked Hawkeyes were for real.

Iowa answered its critics on Thursday night by stomping archrival Iowa State — almost literally — to snap a two-game losing streak.

Tyler Cook had 26 points and 11 rebounds, Isaiah Moss added 20 points and the Hawkeyes cruised to a 98-84 victory in a game marked by skirmishes in the first half and after the whistle.

Nicholas Baer had 11 of his 14 points in the second half for the Hawkeyes (7-2), who shot 57.4 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Cyclones 44-24.

“We wanted to establish our running game. We wanted to establish our ability to move the ball, and get a lot of people involved — and then we had to rebound,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
Iowa took control with a 16-2 run late in the first half, and the Hawkeyes pushed their lead to 63-47 on Baer’s 3-pointer early in the second half. Baer, who finished 4 of 5 from beyond the arc, then buried another 3 to make it 68-49.

Freshman Talen Horton-Tucker briefly pulled the Cyclones (7-2) within eight with 6:05 left, but Iowa responded with eight quick points to put the game out of reach.

Horton-Tucker scored 21 points and Marial Shayok had 19 for Iowa State, which had won its previous four games.

“We missed some bunnies. We could have scored 90. But you can’t give up 98 and win on the road anywhere,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

Iowa junior Cordell Pemsl, who had planned to redshirt this season, made a surprise return to the lineup and had eight points and six boards off the bench. Freshman Joe Wieskamp also played after spraining his ankle in Monday’s 90-68 loss at Michigan State and had seven points.
