Drake coach Ray Giacoletti resigns with team in 1-7 start

Sports

December 6th, 2016 by admin

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Drake coach Ray Giacoletti has resigned after three-plus season with the Bulldogs.

Giacoletti, the former coach at Utah, went just 32-69 at Drake — including a 1-7 start to this season. He will be replaced by assistant Jeff Rutter for the rest of the season.

Giacolleti’s stint with the Bulldogs got off to a promising start, as he finished 15-16 in 2013-14 for a program with just one NCAA Tournament appearance since 1971.

But Drake finished 9-22 and 7-24 in the next two seasons. The Bulldogs only win so far in 2016-17 came against Division III Simpson College.

Giacoletti says “it’s time for a new voice” to lead the Bulldogs. Rutter spent seven seasons as an assistant at Iowa State before joining Giacoletti at Drake.

AP All-Big 12: 10-time champ Oklahoma has 7 1st-team picks, Netten selected for Cyclones

Oklahoma has seven first-team selections on The Associated Press All-Big 12 team after winning its 10th league title.

Big-play receiver Dede Westbrook was selected the Big 12 offensive player of the year. He finished just ahead of repeat AP first-team quarterback Baker Mayfield, his Oklahoma teammate and fellow Heisman Trophy finalist.

D’Onta Foreman, a 2,000-yard rusher at Texas, joined Westbrook as the only unanimous first-team picks on offense for the All-Big 12 team announced Tuesday.

Kansas State had three first-team picks on defense, including defensive end Jordan Willis, the AP defensive player of the year by one vote over cornerback Rasul Douglas of West Virginia. Willis and Douglas were the only unanimous defensive picks.

Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops is coach of the year for a record fifth time.

Iowa State Senior Kicker Cole Netten was selected to the First Team Offense.

Hawkeye football fans quickly buying up Outback Bowl travel packages

An Iowa City company is keeping busy as Hawkeye football fans book their trips to the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Winebrenner Red Carpet Travel works with the University of Iowa’s Alumni Association to help people get to bowl games. General manager Terry Tegen told KCRG-TV that travelers who plan to fly to Tampa need to book their trips now “Do it quick, because we watch for scheduled air and it is selling out quickly,” Tegen said. “You have to get your package booked real fast, because otherwise there is no air transportation.”

ui-football-2016Winebrenner Red Carpet Travel offers two different packages. The first is a three night deal that costs $1,995, and the other is a four night stay that costs $2,095. The company sold out of the most expensive option on Monday and Tegen expects the three night option will sell out today (Tuesday). The Iowa Hawkeyes will meet the Florida Gators in the Outback Bowl on January 2, with the kickoff at noon (Iowa time).

Iowa overpowers Stetson in 95-68 win

Sports

December 6th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Cordell Pemsl muscled in 21 points Monday night as Iowa snapped a four-game losing streak with a 95-68 victory over Stetson. Isaiah Moss, a redshirt freshman, pumped in five 3-pointers and also scored 21 points for Iowa (4-5). Peter Jok collected 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Hawkeyes.

Leo Goodman led Stetson (4-6) with 14 points. The Hawkeyes got off to a fast start and had a 14-2 lead a little more than four minutes in. Iowa led 44-28 at halftime and raised the margin to 30 points at 90-60 on another 3-pointer by Moss, who finished with a career high in 3-pointers and points.

Iowa had surrendered 100, 92 and 98 points in its last three games, including a stunning 98-89 loss to Nebraska-Omaha, but the Hawkeyes played a much tighter game against the visitors from Florida.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Deonte Burton scored 20 points and No. 25 Iowa State pummeled Nebraska-Omaha 91-47 on Monday night, snapping a two-game losing streak. Donovan Jackson had 15 for the Cyclones (6-2), who hit 15 of 29 3=pointers and rolled to their third win of 40 or more points this season.

Iowa State knew it had to take the Mavericks (4-5) seriously after they stunned Iowa on Saturday. The Cyclones never let Omaha think it had a chance, storming ahead 36-9 after just 12 minutes.

Iowa State, which fell six spots in Monday’s AP Top 25 poll but remained ranked for the 61st week in a row, held the Mavs to 28 percent shooting. The Cyclones, not typically known for their defense, have held three of their last four opponents to 56 points or less. Tra-Deon Hollins had 13 points to lead the Mavs.
