(Radio Iowa) – UNI takes a 1-3 Missouri Valley record into today’s (Sunday’s) start of a two game series at home against Bradley. The Braves are 6-3 but due to COVID related issues have not started Valley play. Their last game was a one point loss to Missouri back on December 22nd.

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Drake University Athletics Department announced Friday evening that the Missouri Valley Conference postponed the next two men’s basketball games. The series between Drake and Loyola today (Jan. 10th) and Monday (Jan. 11) at the Knapp Center, and the series between Drake and Missouri State on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18 in Springfield, Missouri, have been postponed.
The cause is a positive COVID-19 test result “among Drake’s Tier 1 personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff,” the department stated. The conference has yet to set up future dates for the postponed games. Any tickets for the Loyola series will be received for its postponed date.
The AC/GC boys basketball team jumped out to a 15 point lead early in the second quarter and fought off Exira-EHK the rest of the way to pick up a 59-43 win on Saturday in Guthrie Center.
Both teams struggled to find any offense in the first half but the Chargers were able to drop 6 threes in the opening half to lead 22-10 at the break. The Spartans climbed within 5 in the third quarter and were within single digits a few times, but it never felt like the Chargers were going to let go of the lead. The Chargers found themselves at the free throw line a lot in the fourth quarter and were able to make enough to pull away for the convincing win.
Eli Kading finished with 21 points to lead AC/GC. Lucas Marsh added 15 and Ben Marsh had 10. The Chargers improved to 8-2 on the season.
Cash Emgarten scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half to lead the Spartans scoring. Exira-EHK falls to 6-4 on the season.
The Exira-EHK Spartans girls basketball team had to rally a few times before securing a win over the ACGC Chargers on Saturday afternoon 54-48.
The Spartans jumped out to a 9-0 lead at the outset but the Chargers would pull within 2 by the end of the first quarter 14-12. The Chargers would then proceed to take a lead in the second and got up by 5 before the Spartans roared back and got a bucket from Mollie Rasmussen right before the break to lead 26-25. It was much the same story in the third with the Chargers grabbing a lead and then the Spartans roaring back to lead 38-35 heading to the 4th. The Spartans built the lead to as large as 15 but the Chargers didn’t give up. ACGC strung together a number of stops and clawed within 2 at 50-48. The Spartans then got some big free throws from Quinn Grubbs to seal the win.
Exira-EHK was led by 17 points from Macy Emgarten who did a great job rebounding and getting to the foul line. Emgarten was 9-10 from the free throw line and hit a couple big threes as well. Quinn Grubbs added 13 and Mollie Rasmussen had 11. The Spartans remain unbeaten at 11-0.
ACGC got 16 points from Alaina Bunde and 8 from Kylie Young. The Chargers fall to 6-4 on the season.
