No. 2 Iowa State suffers first loss at Kansas

Sports

January 14th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

A bad start was too much to overcome for second ranked Iowa State. Kansas raced out to a 26-point first half lead and beat the Cyclones 84-63, Tuesday night, handing them their first loss after 16 wins to start the season.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. The Cyclones made a bit of a run in the second half but could get no closer than 11 points.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones were not able to generate enough turnovers to ignite the offense.

The Cyclones are 3-1 in the Big 12 and will try to bounce back Saturday at Cincinnati.

Northern Iowa suffered its third straight loss, Tuesday night. Illinois-Chicago shot a sizzling 62 percent in the second half and rallied for a 69-61 win in the McLeod Center. UNI coach Ben Jacobson says there were too many mistakes on defense.

The Panthers fall to 4-3 in Missouri Valley play.

Trey Campbell led UNI with 21 points. Ben Schwieger added 17 and the Panthers were only three-of-24 from three point range.

Iowa men visit No. 5 Purdue Wednesday night

Sports

January 13th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

Iowa coach Ben McCollum says the Hawkeyes have proven they can be competitive against ranked teams and the next step is finding ways to win close games. After dropping games to Minnesota and Illinois the Hawkeyes are on the road Wednesday night to take on fifth ranked Purdue.

Foul trouble has been a problem, especially on the road. McCollum says the Hawkeyes need to do a better job of guarding without fouling.

McCollum says the combination of star point guard Braden Smith and size oin the front line make the boilers tough to guard. Purdue is averaging better than 80 points per game.

McCollum says Purdue is an elite team on offense.

It will be a 5:30pm, Iowa time tip-off in Mackey Arena.

No. 19 Iowa State women visit Colorado Wednesday night

Sports

January 13th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

The 19th ranked Iowa State women look to snap a three game losing skid on Wednesday night with a visit to Colorado. ISU announced on Monday that junior forward Addy Brown will be sidelined indefinitely with an injury.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly, who says Brown will still have a role with the team.

With Brown and junior guard Arianna Jackson both sidelined the Cyclones will need to get creative to get the ball to junior center Audi Crooks.

The Cyclones are 2-3 in the Big 12 and 14-3 overall.

Northern Iowa men host Illinois-Chicago Tuesday night

Sports

January 12th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson hopes the Panthers are closer to full strength Tuesday night when they host Illinois-Chicago. Forwards Will Hornseth and Tristan Smith both missed Saturday’s 75-69 loss at Bradley. The Panthers are 4-2 in Missouri Valley play.

Jacobson says Smith’s loss hurts the Panthers defensively and they may continue with a smaller lineup.

Illinois-Chicago is 2-4 in the Valley but is coming off an overtime win at Illinois State.

The Panthers beat the Flames 60-54 in Chicago back in mid-December.

Up to No. 2 in AP Poll Iowa State prepares to visit Kansas

Sports

January 12th, 2026 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger says he does not pay attention to the national rankings. The Cyclones are 16-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12 heading into tomorrow night’s game at Kansas. They are up to second in the latest AP top 25. They climbed to second in the poll exactly one year ago.

Otzelberger says wherever they are ranked the only focus is on improvement.

Kansas enters Tuesday night’s game with a record of 11-5 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12 after a road loss to West Virginia.

Otzelberger says the Jayhawks played a demanding non-conference schedule that included losses to Duke, North Carolina and UConn.

Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson has missed several games due to leg injuries but he enters Tuesday night averaging better than 22-and-a-half points per game.

For Cyclone senior guard Tamin Lipsey it will be a final chance to get a win in Allen Fieldhouse.

Iowa State’s last win at Kansas was back in 2017, their only victory in Allen Fieldhouse since 2005.

Lipsey says a key to a big road win is keeping the crowd out of the game.

ISU freshman guard Killyan Toure is a native of France and says even though he grew up overseas he knew about Kansas and Allen Fieldhouse.

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEN LLEWELLYN
“I think our athletes really settled into their routines; they looked a little more loose and confident and had fun. We dialed in on the details and got a lot more landings, which I was really pleased about. With the depth we have this season, we’ve been playing with lineups just to get the best team score that we can, so it was nice to see some new faces in the mix. I’m just really proud of their performance, and to get a home win in the season opener was awesome”
