IOWA CITY, Iowa — For the ninth time this season, University of Iowa women’s basketball senior Megan Gustafson was named the Big Ten Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Gustafson has now been named the Big Ten Player of the Week 19 times, tying the conference record for weekly awards in a career (Jantel Lavender, Ohio State). Gustafson also tied her own single-season record of nine set in 2017-18.
The Port Wing, Wisconsin, native averaged 28.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, and shot 64 percent from the field and 85 percent from the free throw line in a pair of Iowa wins last week. She scored 32 points, shooting 13-for-16 (81.3 percent) from the field to help Iowa to a 72-66 win over No. 14 Rutgers. The win snapped Rutgers’ 10-game winning streak, including a 7-0 mark in Big Ten play. She also pulled down 12 rebounds and was 6-for-7 from the free throw line.
On Jan. 27, Gustafson led Iowa to its fifth straight win, scoring a game-high 25 points against Purdue. She pulled down 11 rebounds to register her NCAA-leading 19th double-double of the season. She shot 83.3 percent from the free throw line and recorded two blocks and two assists in the win.
Gustafson and the No. 13/15 Hawkeyes return to action on Thursday, traveling to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a matchup with the Wolverines. Tipoff is at 5 p.m. (CT) on BTN.
The Exira-EHK Spartans will play host to Rolling Valley Conference rival CAM for a basketball doubleheader tonight and we’ll have the games on KJAN. It figures to be a great atmosphere with a couple of competetive contests.
The girls game will feature the 14-1 Cougars against the 13-5 Spartans. CAM won the first meeting back on December 11th in Anita by a 64-53 margin. The Cougars are led by Madison Gettler. The senior is averaging 19.1 points per game and she leads the Cougars in rebounds (106), assists (56), and steals (59) as well. The Spartans have Tatum Grubbs averaging 13.5 points per contest and Macy Emgarten averaging 10.8 per outing.
The boys game has the 6-8 Cougars battling the 15-2 Spartans. The Spartans have a potent lineup with 4 players averaging in double figures: Dakota Rold (17.2), Cole Burmeister (14.9), Josh Pettepier (12.2), and Trever Schulz (11.5). The Cougars in contrast have just one player averaging double figures in scoring with Jacob Holste’s 11.9 points per outing. The Spartans won the first meeting 67-52 on December 11th.
The doubleheader was postponed from last week following the passing of CAM Girls Head Coach Joe Wollum’s Son Brooks. Both schools have shown tremendous support to the family and they are in all of our thoughts and prayers here at KJAN as well.
Chris Parks will have the call from Elk Horn with pregame at 5:50pm prior to the girls game at 6:00pm. Catch the action on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com. If technology permits we will provide video on our facebook page as well.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jordan Murphy and Amir Coffey each scored 23 points to help Minnesota hang on and beat No. 19 Iowa 92-87. Freshman Gabe Kalscheur added 19 points, his most in a Big Ten game, to push the Gophers past the Hawkeyes into sixth place in the crowded conference race despite a late slump at the free-throw line that nearly derailed their upset. Luka Garza matched his career high with 25 points and Isaiah Moss pitched in 23 points on 6-for-10 shooting from 3-point range.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Megan Gustafson scored 25 points, Hannah Stewart added 21 and No. 17 Iowa used a 10-2 game-ending run to pull away from Purdue in a 72-58 victory. The victory was the sixth in a row for Iowa (16-4, 7-2 Big Ten) as the Hawkeyes improved to 11-0 at home and avenged a 62-57 loss at Purdue on Jan. 10.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Pro Bowl has long been considered a laughable representation of the NFL game. It reached a new level of comedy as several players swapped positions during the league’s annual all-star game. Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey caught a touchdown pass in the final minute and capped a dominate performance for the AFC defense in a 26-7 victory over the NFC in steady rain. It was the third consecutive victory for the AFC at Camping World Stadium.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Sophie Cunningham scored 30 points _ 21 in the first half _ and No. 25 Missouri blitzed Auburn early and made it hold up in a 74-65 win. Cunningham scored 13 of Missouri’s first 18 points as it built an 18-0 lead.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jordan Murphy and Amir Coffey each scored 23 points to help Minnesota hang on and beat No. 19 Iowa 92-87 on Sunday. Freshman Gabe Kalscheur added 19 points, his most in a Big Ten game, to push the Gophers (15-5, 5-4) past the Hawkeyes (16-5, 5-5) into sixth place in the crowded conference race despite a late slump at the free-throw line that nearly derailed their upset.
Luka Garza matched his career high with 25 points and Isaiah Moss pitched in 23 points on 6-for-10 shooting from 3-point range, but the Hawkeyes didn’t bounce back with much energy from their 15-point loss at home to sixth-ranked Michigan State three nights earlier. The Gophers, who stormed back strong from a two-point loss at fifth-ranked Michigan that capped a rough three-game stretch, posted their highest score in regulation of a Big Ten game since they had 95 points against Iowa on Feb. 25, 2014.
The Hawkeyes missed a prime opportunity to grab the momentum right after the intermission. The chance evaporated with a spate of missed jumpers, and the Gophers kept the crowd cranked up with a steady supply of highlight-reel possessions. Twice in a five-minute span, Dupree McBrayer finished a fast break off a steal with a lob to Coffey for a dunk. Iowa enacted a three-quarters-of-the-court press without much success, with Minnesota owning a 25-9 assist-to-turnover ratio. Coffey’s 3-pointer stretched the lead to a game-high 81-65 with 5:50 to go.
The Hawkeyes didn’t head home quietly, though, thanks mostly to a late slump at the foul line by the Gophers. They missed 10 of 23 free throws in the second half, including seven of eight misfires in one stretch until McBrayer made one with 47 seconds remaining to push the lead to 85-80. Garza hit a 3-pointer with 3:32 to go out of a timeout that had pulled the Hawkeyes within 81-76, but McBrayer and Kalscheur came through with some clutch defense down the stretch from their perimeter spots.
The Hawkeyes, who are second-to-last in the conference in points allowed, simply didn’t force the Gophers into enough turnovers or forced shots despite a 34-26 rebounding advantage.
UP NEXT Iowa returns home to face Michigan on Friday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Florence Dalby loves Nebraska as much today as she did when she first started going to games in 1939. The Cornhuskers honored her during their Coaches Vs. Cancer game against Ohio State. It’s wasn’t just because she’s been a breast cancer survivor for nearly 25 years but also because she’s been a season ticket holder for 80.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Luther Muhammad scored 18 of his career-high 24 points in the second half and Ohio State ended its longest losing streak in 21 years with a 70-60 win over struggling Nebraska. Muhammad made three 3-pointers in the middle of the second half to spark a 20-5 run that propelled the Buckeyes to their first win in six games. James Palmer and Glynn Watson Jr. combined for 37 points for the Huskers.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Wendell Mitchell scored a game-high 22 points, all in the second half, and Texas A&M ran past Kansas State 65-53 in the annual Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Wildcats (15-5) led 30-26 at halftime before the Aggies (8-10), in snapping a three-game losing streak, outscored their former Big 12 brethren 39-23 over the final 20 minutes.
