Iowa State basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger says junior guard Tamin Lipsey has returned to summer drills. The Ames native has been limited since undergoing a shoulder procedure back in April.

Lipsey is coming off an All-Big 12 sophomore season in which he averaged nearly 12 and-a-half points and near five assists. St. Mary’s transfer forward Joshua Jefferson also remains limited in drills. The six-eight junior underwent knee surgery in February.

Otzelberger says Jefferson may not be at full strength until preseason practice begins.

Summer drills wind down early next month and Otzelberger says it is about building team chemistry.

Former Iowa star Caitlin Clark set a WNBA single game record with 19 assists in an Indiana Fever loss in Dallas. Clark also had 24 points in a 101-93 loss.

The Fever head into the Olympic break with a record of 11-15 and are in the playoff hunt.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Long-time University of Iowa men’s basketball staff member Al Seibert has added the role of General Manager to his Chief of Staff duties with the program.

Seibert is entering his 14th season on head coach Fran McCaffery’s staff, including stints as the director of operations and video coordinator.

In his expanded role, Seibert becomes the program’s point person between athletics administration and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). He will direct a recruiting process for NIL, while maintaining the NIL-related records and contracts for student-athletes.

Seibert will also serve as the program’s liaison with the Athletics Department senior staff.

Prior to joining the Hawkeyes, Seibert served as head coach at the University of New Haven from 2005-10.  He also spent time coaching at the University of Hartford, Western Kentucky, Duquesne and Pittsburgh.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior defensive back Beau Freyler is a nominee for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy and Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, a pair of awards recognizing players for their performance on the field as well as their impact in the community. 

Freyler, a Colorado Springs, Colorado, native, has been a significant contributor to the Cyclone football program since first stepping on campus in 2021. He was a co-captain in 2023 and earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors from the Associated Press after compiling 107 tackles and three interceptions. He became the 10^th player in program history to earn Academic All-America honors.

Freyler has made 25 career starts, including 22 consecutive, and played in 37 games.

At Iowa State’s annual O.S.C.A.R.S. celebration, Freyler took home the Cyclone Serve Award, presented to the male and female athletes with the most community hours served during the 2023-24 academic year.

Iowa junior guard Taylor McCabe says summer drills are even more important for a new-look Hawkeye team that lost several key players. The native of Fremont, Nebraska appeared in 33 games last season and says summer is when roles and team chemistry are developed.

McCabe shot better than 41 percent from three point range last season and is working to diversify her game.

Iowa State guard Keshon Gilbert says summer workouts are an adjustment for the incoming players. The Cyclones have their top four scorers back from last year’s team that made it to the Sweet-16 of the NCAA Tournament.

Gilbert’s confidence grew as last season progressed and he led ISU in scoring at over 13 and-a-half points per game.

Gilbert says a veteran nucleus returning is a huge plus for next season.

Iowa women’s basketball guard Kylie Feuerbach says the changes have been minimal under new coach Jan Jensen. The veteran assistant took over the program after the retirement of Lisa Bluder following the Hawkeyes’ second straight trip to the national championship game.

With several key players gone from last season Feuerbach says it is a new era for the program.

Feuerbach will have a larger role next season after appearing in 32 games and averaging just under three and a half points.
