IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Luka Garza scored 23 points to become Iowa’s all-time leading scorer, and the 11th-ranked Hawkeyes beat Penn State 74-68. Garza has 2,126 points for Iowa, breaking the record of 2,116 points set by Roy Marble from 1985-89.

Garza also had 11 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. It was the fourth consecutive win for Iowa. Izaiah Brockington and Myreon Jones each had 11 points to lead Penn State. CJ Fredrick added 18 points for the Hawkeyes, who took control with a 13-2 second-half run.

The Iowa Hawkeye men’s basketball team announced Saturday that a former basketball player Michael Reaves has died at age 54. A team tweet said  “We are sadden of the passing of former Hawkeye Michael Reaves. Our thoughts and prayers are with the reaves family.” The university said he died at his home in Georgia on Friday where he was with his family. Reaves played for the Hawkeyes between 1985 and 1988 for head coaches George Raveling and Tom Davis.

When he was playing for Iowa, the Hawkeyes won 95 games, which is the second-most games won in the program’s history within a four-year time frame. He also played in four NCAA tournament reaching the Elite Eight in 1987 and the Sweet 16 in 1988.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Austin Reaves scored 20 points to lead No. 9 Oklahoma to a wild 66-56 victory over Iowa State, Saturday. The Sooners earned their third straight win since a 57-52 loss at No. 15 Texas Tech. But the lowly Cyclones provided a stiff test. Iowa State trailed by as many as 21 in the first half before rallying to a 46-45 lead on Tre Jackson’s 3-pointer with 11:29 remaining.

The Sooners then responded with a 16-4 run to grab the lead for good. De’Vion Harmon and Umoja Gibson each made a 3-pointer before Reaves capped the decisive stretch with a free throw, making it 61-50 with 4:38 left.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Mark Gronowski passed for two touchdowns, including a 1-yarder to Pierre Strong with 19 seconds left, and ran for another to help South Dakota State beat Northern Iowa 24-20, Friday. Grownowski, a freshman, was 19-of-29 passing for 194 yards and no interceptions. Strong finished with 91 yards rushing on 22 carries and had six receptions for 31 yards for South Dakota State (1-0, 1-0 Missouri Valley Conference).

The teams kicked off an unprecedented spring slate of FCS football games after the fall season was upended by the coronavirus pandemic. Gronowski led a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped when he rolled to his right and hit a wide-open Strong to give South Dakota State a 24-20 lead with 19 seconds left. McElvain was 19-of-29 passing for 164 yards.

After an 8-point halftime deficit the CAM girls basketball team ripped off a 9-0 run to start the second half and fought their way to a 60-53 win over Paton-Churdan Friday night. The Cougars ramped up the defensive intensity and got some better movement on offense in the second half to earn their way to the Class 1A Region 2 Final next Wednesday.

The Rockets started the game strong and jumped on top 10-6 at the end of the first. They proceeded to drop in 6 of their 8 first half threes in the second quarter to lead 30-22 at half. CAM then got three buckets from Eva Steffensen and a three from Meredith Rich to regain the lead with that 9-0 run. Paton-Churdan fought back in front 38-36 by the end of the third. CAM again responded with a strong start to the final period. Meridith Rich got a steal and a hoop to tie the game up, then Eva Steffensen put the Cougars on top with a three. After a Rocket bucket, Marissa Spieker hit one of her two huge fourth quarter threes to push the lead back to 4. She hit another big one later after the Rockets had climbed within three. With a late lead the Cougars chose to slow the game down for the last four minutes and make the Rockets foul. CAM came through with enough free throws to hold on the rest of the way.

Steffensen led CAM with 19 points and Zoey Baylor finished with 10. The Cougars will play in the 1A Region 2 Final on Wednesday against 2nd ranked Newell-Fonda. That game will be played at Winterset High School at 7:00 p.m.

Paton-Churdan was led on the night by 20 points from their outstanding senior Danielle Hoyle, 12 of those in the fourth quarter. Tessa Steimel dropped in 15 on five threes. The Rockets close a nice season at 16-6.

Listen to the full postgame interviews from Marissa Spieker and CAM Head Coach Joe Wollum below.
