Will Spradlin had 15 points and McGruder scored 13 to lead the Wildcats (15-4, 4-2), who lost on the road for the first time in four tries.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has hired former Arkansas assistant Chris Klenakis as its new offensive line coach and assigned associate head coach Bill Bleil to work with the tight ends. Klenakis, who spent the past three seasons with the Razorbacks, was previously the offensive coordinator at Nevada. He coached San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick from 2007-09 and is well-versed in the “Pistol” style of offense, which features quarterbacks operating out of the shotgun but closer to the line of scrimmage.
Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads says Klenakis will help the Cyclones diversify and expand their offense. Klenakis has coached in Division I for 23 years, including a three-year stint as the offensive coordinator at Southern Mississippi.
Chris Parks and Jim Field have the call of the games played at Audubon High School.

The Iowa Hawkeyes return to Big Ten action on Sunday with a visit to Purdue. The Hawks are 2-4 in the Big Ten and take on a Purdue team that has played well in the conference race after getting off to a slow start. “Purdue has been impressive to me,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says. “It’ll be a tough game.” Purdue is 3-3 in the Big Ten after a 68-53 loss at second-ranked Michigan Thursday. McCaffery is hoping the Hawkeyes can do a better job of executing at the offensive end against the Boilermakers. “That was an issue against Michigan State at home and it was an issue down the stretch against Indiana,” McCaffery says.
Free throws were also an issue in this week’s loss at Ohio State as the Hawks connected on only 13 of 26 from the stripe. Iowa and Purdue tipoff at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

It’s time for another “border brawl” as the fourth-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes take on third-ranked Minnesota in college wrestling Saturday. Both the Hawks and Gophers have nine ranked wrestlers. The teams split their two meetings last season. Iowa junior Tony Ramos, who’s 15-0 and ranked 2nd at 133 pounds, says the Hawkeyes are up for the challenge. “It’s a big rivalry. We beat ’em last year, but when it came to the National Duals, they got the better of us there,” Ramos said. “It’s something we need to rebound from and improve on. It’s exciting for us and exciting for the fans to see where we’re at…you know, it’s time to go out and make a statement.”
Ramos is scheduled to face 6th ranked Chris Dardanes, a sophmore with a record of 12-2. “He’s a tough guy. He’s a competitor and he’s going to come out ready to fight,” Ramos said. “That’s something I’m prepared for.”
Iowa is 14-1 in duals this season, while Minnesota is 11-1. Both teams’ lone losses came against Oklahoma State. The dual between Iowa and Minnesota is set for 3 p.m. Saturday at Williams Arena in Minneapolis and will be televised live on the Big Ten Network.
