CINCINNATI — The Iowa State men are in the nation’s top 10 as they get ready for tonight’s game at Cincinnati. Defense and toughness have led the Cyclones to a 7-3 Big 12 record and they begin the week alone in second place. They are up to 10th in the latest AP top 25.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger who says the Cyclones are a hardworking team that also has great chemistry.

Cincinnati is 4-6 in the Big 12 and like the Cyclones is a program known for defense and physical play.

Otzelberger says the Bearcats have been competitive in their first season in the Big 12.

Tipoff in Cincinnati tonight is scheduled for 6 o’clock Iowa time.

 

 

 

 

DES MOINES — The Drake men take an 11-3 Missouri Valley record on the road to Evansville tonight. The Bulldogs beat the Aces 97-48 in Des Moines last month but Evansville leader scorer Ben Humrichous missed that game due to injury.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who says Humrichous makes everyone around him better.

In his sixth season as head coach, DeVries has led the Bulldogs to six seasons of 20 or more wins. That happened once at the school in the previous 47 seasons.

Drake is 20-5 overall after Saturday’s win at Bradley.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Joel Eriksson Ek scored twice and the Minnesota Wild beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 Monday night for their third straight win. Mats Zuccarello, Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy also scored to help Minnesota win for the sixth time in eight games. Filip Gustavsson made 27 saves. Jonathan Marchessault, Michael Amadio and Mark Stone scored for Vegas, while Adin Hill stopped 24 shots. One night after the Super Bowl became the most-watched program in television history up the road at Allegiant Stadium, a sellout crowd of 18,207 inside T-Mobile Arena saw the defending champion Golden Knights lose just their third home game in 2024. The loss spoiled Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo’s 1,000th career game. Pietrangelo had two assists.
