DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Wichita State’s unbeaten romp through the Missouri Valley Conference has brought both notoriety and scrutiny to the league. Northern Iowa is getting its chance to show that the Valley is about more than just the Shockers.

The 18th-ranked Panthers (19-2, 8-1 MVC) host Number 12 Wichita State (19-2, 9-0) on Saturday in one of the most high-profile games in league history. It’s the first Valley game between ranked opponents since 1982 — and biggest threat yet to Wichita’s 27-game winning streak in the league.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Melissa Dixon scored 29 points, including 9 of 10 3-pointers, as No. 20 Iowa set a Big 10 record with 19 3-pointers in a 102-99 win over Northwestern on Thursday. The Hawkeyes (17-3, 8-1) won their sixth straight by shooting 57 percent, including a blistering 68 percent (19-28) from 3-point range and 17 of 20 from the foul line.

The Wildcats (14-6, 4-5) trailed 58-41 at the half but went 9 of 12 from 3-point range to get back into the game. They finished 13 of 18 behind the arc with the combined 32 treys setting a NCAA record by one.

Ally Disterhoft, who finished with 22 points, gave Iowa a 100-94 lead with a pair of free throws with 23 seconds left. Ashley Deary, who had a career-high 22 points, scored for the Wildcats with 19 seconds left but Dixon, who was 10 of 12 from the field, answered with a layup at 14 seconds. Nia Coffey, who finished with a career-high 35 points, hit a 3 with three seconds left for Northwestern.

Bethany Doolittle had 26 points for Iowa and Whitney Jennings added 16. Dixon had 21 points in the first half as Iowa shot 64 percent, including 14 of 19 3s, to lead by 17.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA Development League has suspended Iowa Energy forward Jarnell Stokes for three games and teammate Kalin Lucas for two games for fighting on the bench. The league announced the suspensions Thursday. The 6-foot-9 Stokes and 6-1 Lucas were ejected for fighting with 2:29 left in the third quarter of Iowa’s 124-120 win over Rio Grande on Tuesday night. A broadcast of the game showed pushing and shoving near the bench for Iowa, an affiliate of the Memphis Grizzlies, during a timeout.

Lucas, a former star at Michigan State, played one game this season for the Grizzlies. Stokes, a rookie out of Tennessee, has split time between Iowa and Memphis. The suspensions were to start Thursday night against Fort Wayne.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa star Aaron White remains questionable for Saturday’s game against Number 5 Wisconsin after suffering a stinger in last weekend’s loss at Purdue. White sat out Thursday’s practice in an attempt to heal the injury, which is affecting his right shoulder and neck.

Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery says the coaching staff is unsure of White’s status, adding that White will likely try to practice Friday in an effort to see if he can play against the Badgers. Key substitute Gabe Olaseni rolled his left ankle on Monday. Olaseni says he’ll be ready by Saturday, though his effectiveness won’t be known until tip-off.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Members of a House panel have rejected a bill that would have expanded the ability of children to use a crossbow to hunt deer in Iowa. The natural resources subcommittee tabled the bill indefinitely Thursday. Bill sponsor Rep. Matt Windschitl, a Missouri Valley Republican, says he will work with interested parties to reword the bill for a future session.

The bill would have allowed children ages 16 and under with a youth deer hunting license to hunt for deer with a crossbow during other firearm seasons. The minor would have needed an unused tag. A child can currently use a crossbow during the late muzzleloader season if they’re accompanied by a licensed adult.

The Iowa Bowhunters Association, which supports archery through bow and arrow, expressed concern about expanding crossbow use.
