Three Cyclones produced double-doubles as No. 10 Iowa State stopped No. 11 Iowa’s attempted comeback and triumphed 74-69 in Tuesday’s rivalry matchup in Ames.
Audi Crooks continued her scoring tear with 30 points and snared 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (11-0), who led by 13 points through three quarters. Addy Brown had 20 points and 12 rebounds and Jada Williams chipped in 11 points and 12 assists.
Chazadi Wright’s 21 points paced the Hawkeyes (9-1), who went on a 10-0 run in the final quarter and lowered their deficit to three on four separate occasions.
Hannah Stuelke grabbed a game-high 15 boards and scored Iowa’s last bucket in the final minute before fouling out with 15 seconds left.
No. 2 Texas 110, Texas-Rio Grande Valley 45
The Longhorns poured in 70 first-half points and dominated the paint in a lopsided road victory over the Vaqueros in Edinburg.
Madison Booker led Texas (11-0) with an efficient 28 points on 14-of-19 shooting while posting a game-high 10 rebounds. Justice Carlton tallied 21 points and nine rebounds and Rori Harmon distributed 14 assists for the Longhorns, who owned a 60-6 edge in interior scoring.
Texas-Rio Grande Valley (3-5) received 13 points from Jalayah Ingram, one of three players to score in double figures. The Vaqueros committed 29 turnovers and only forced four.
No. 7 Maryland 91, Delaware State 21
Yarden Garzon and Oluchi Okananwa almost outscored the opposition single-handedly with 18 points apiece as the Terrapins annihilated the Hornets in College Park, Md., while establishing a program record for fewest points allowed.
Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu added 11 points and 11 rebounds and Marya Boiko paired eight points with five blocks. Maryland (12-0) forced turnovers on 44% of possessions and did not surrender a fastbreak or second-chance point.
Delaware State’s six-point first quarter constituted a relative outburst, since the Hornets (3-8) scored only five points in each ensuing period on 7-for-38 overall shooting. Aniyah Jones’ six points were a team high.
No. 22 Louisville 93, Ball State 62
Skylar Jones came off the bench to score a game-high 20 points and grab seven rebounds in Louisville’s blowout of Ball State.
The hosts raced out to a 50-25 halftime advantage and coasted to their fifth win in the last six games, improving to 9-3. Anaya Hardy notched her third double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 boards, while Laura Ziegler scored 15 points for Louisville, which shot 47.9% from the floor and 38.5% from beyond the arc.
Bree Salenbien led Ball State (8-3) with 13 points and three steals. Karsyn Norman tallied 11 points and Tessa Towers had 10 points and four boards. The visitors shot just 35.6% from the floor and 21.1% from 3-point range.
