IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Jarrod Uthoff scored all of his career-high 21 points in the first half and Iowa beat Gardner Webb 76-59 on Friday night in the season opener for both teams. Adam Woodbury had 11 points and Peter Jok added 8 before leaving early in the second half with an injury for the Hawkeyes, who scored 21 points off 17 Bulldog turnovers.

Tyrell Nelson scored 12 points to lead Gardner Webb, which shot 19 percent from the field in the second half. Uthoff hit 6 of 9 field goals and all seven of his free throws in the first half. The senior put up only three shots in limited second-half minutes. Iowa led 41-37 after a back-and-forth first half. The Hawkeyes opened the second half on an 8-0 run to create a cushion and led by double figures for much of the rest of the game.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Reed Timmer had 19 points, Casey Schlatter added 13, and Drake shot nearly 70 percent from the field en route to a 97-52 win over Simpson (Iowa) in the season opener for both teams on Friday. Timmer, who earned Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman and All-Newcomer honors last season, finished 6 of 7 from the field and 6 of 6 on free throws.

Drake used an 18-0 run in the first half to take a 26-6 lead within the first 10 minutes. The Bulldogs led 50-18 at halftime. Dominik Olejniczak’s 12 rebounds led an impressive effort from the Drake bench which totaled 47 points and 32 rebounds.

Dillon Gretzky, nephew of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, scored a team-high 14 points for Simpson and pulled down five rebounds. He was the only Storm player to score in double figures.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Georges Niang scored 17 points, and No. 7 Iowa State held off Colorado 68-62 on Friday in coach Steve Prohm’s debut.

Niang, a preseason All-American, also had a pair of assists — including an alley-oop pass to Jameel McKay that put Iowa State ahead 64-57 with 1:13 to go. George King had 14 points for Colorado (0-1), which was picked seventh in the Pac-12’s preseason media poll.
