Former UVA DC Reid interviewing at Iowa

Iowa hoops hold off PSU, but postseason outlook still fuzzy

Probably the loudest Carver has been in four years. Correction, the loudest it has been in four years. In a game that featured a multitude of runs and many momentum swings, Iowa forgot about its atrocious 3-point shooting in the first half, out-rebounded the best rebounding team in the nation, and ultimately defeated Iowa State. Down 36-35 at the break, the Hawkeyes (8-2) started off the second half on a 6-0 run, took the … Continued

By

The Big Ten Conference has added another school. The University of Maryland will join the Big Ten on July 1, 2014. The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors unanimously approved the addition Monday morning, as Maryland’s athletic teams will begin competition in all sports for the 2014-15 academic year.
