February 5th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Hawkeye women return to Big Ten action at home, tonight (Thursday), against Ohio State. Hawkeye coach Lisa Bluder says school officials have put together several promotions in hopes of drawing a large crowd. She says it’s Kathryn Reynolds Bobblehead night…two princesses from the “Frozen” movie will be there taking pictures with young girls…there’s a “Girl’s night out” makeover and much more.

The Hawks are 8-2 in the Big Ten and 17-4 overall after a five point loss at Maryland.

The Buckeyes have won four straight and are 7-3 in the league race. Standout guard Kelsey Mitchell averages 26 points per game.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Chris Caird hit a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left to lift Drake to a 63-61 victory over Southern Illinois on Wednesday night for the Bulldogs’ third consecutive victory. Jordan Caroline made two free throws with 35 seconds left to put Southern Illinois (9-15, 2-9 Missouri Valley) ahead 61-60 but missed two more with 17 seconds to go before Caird’s shot. Anthony Beane missed a final 3-point try for the Salukis.

Caird finished with 12 points, making 4 of 5 attempts from beyond the arc, for Drake (7-16, 4-7).
