Gustafson, who came in shooting 75 percent, made 13 of 15 shots against the Colonials (1-6) and hit all six of her free throws while posting her 61st double-double.

Nneka Ezeigbo led Robert Morris with 13 points. Gustafson scored 10 points in a 16-2 run to lead by 12 after first quarter.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton scored 24 points to move into Iowa State’s top 10, Kristin Scott added a career-high 21 and the No. 23 Cyclones turned back Arkansas 91-82 on Sunday in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
Iowa State (6-1) led by 14 points late in the third quarter but a 7-0 run by the Razorbacks (5-2) cut the lead to 85-82 with 3:02 to play. Chelsea Dungee, who had a career-high 27 points, made a layup at the 3:10 mark then had a steal and was fouled. Dungee, who was 13 of 15 from the line, only made one free throw and Arkansas didn’t score again.
Scott’s 3-pointer at 2:11 ended a 0-for-5, almost 4-minute field-goal drought and Arkansas missed its final three shots with two turnovers. Carleton, who also had 11 rebounds, moved past Stacy Frese (1,494) on the Cyclone scoring list. Alexa Middleton added 15 points and Ashley Joens 14. Malica Monk added 22 points for Arkansas.
The No. 18 Mississippi State Bulldogs (9-3, SEC) will take on the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-4, Big Ten), at Noon on Jan. 1st, during the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida. It’s the first meeting for both teams. Mississippi at No. 18 has its best final playoff ranking since ending at No. 7 in 2014. Iowa’s four losses came by a combined 23 points. Beat Illinois and Nebraska to end the regular season.
Joe Moorhead joins Jackie Sherrill as only MSU coaches to make bowl game in first season. Notable players for the game: Mississippi State: DE Montez Sweat, 51 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks; Iowa: TE T.J. Hockenson, 46 catches, 717 yards, six touchdowns. Mississippi State is one of only five SEC schools to go to a bowl every season in this decade; 13-8 in bowl games. Iowa lost 30-3 to Florida two years ago in Outback Bowl, falling to 2-3 in Tampa game; 15-15-1 all time in bowl games.
Officials say the Iowa State Cyclones (8-4, Big 12) will take on the Washington State Cougars (10-2, Pac-12), Dec. 28th, 8 p.m. Central Time, at the Alamo Bowl, in San Antonio, TX. Top players to watch include ISU runningback David Montgomery (1,092 yards rushing, 12 touchdowns) and Cougar QB Gardner Minshew, (4,477 yards passing, 36 touchdowns). This will mark the first time the teams have met.
The Cyclones won seven out of their last eight games after a 1-3 start and finished with their best-ever record, 6-3, in the Big 12. The Cougars’ seven-game winning streak — and faint playoff hopes — were dashed in a 28-15 loss to Washington in the Apple Cup on Nov. 23.
Iowa State is making its 13th bowl appearance, and first appearance in the Alamo Bowl. Washington State is making its 14th bowl appearance, and second appearance in the Alamo Bowl.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Running back Kareem Hunt has acknowledged lying to the Kansas City Chiefs about his role in a February assault in a Cleveland hotel that ultimately led to his release this week. During a live interview with ESPN on Sunday, the NFL’s reigning rushing champion also said that league officials never spoke to him about the incident while conducting their own investigation.
Hunt was preparing to play Oakland this week when TMZ Sports posted the grainy, graphic security video Friday. In the course of a few hours, Hunt was sent home from the facility, placed on the NFL’s Commissioner Exemption List, and finally released by the AFC West-leading Chiefs.
Hunt said during the interview that he may have anger issues and is seeking professional help, and that he isn’t sure another NFL team will give him an opportunity. He said several times he was “embarrassed” by the video and insisted, “I know right from wrong.”
