Iowa State loses for second time to No. 6 Kansas in overtime NEW SORORITY JOINS IOWA STATE iowastatedaily.com/news

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com For the second time this season, Iowa State lost to Kansas in overtime.

After a missed front end free throw from Korie Lucious and a make on the second, Elijah Johnson drove the length of the court with 11 seconds left,

missed a jumper, got his own rebound and was fouled on the put-back driving through Georges Niang, who fouled out.

Johnson made both free throws, sending the game into overtime and the rest was history — or deja vu.

“They kick it back out and hit a shot, then come back down and hit another one and I thought we defended it pretty well,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg.

“I thought Georges stepped in there and made a good play at the end, but it didn’t go our way. Then it gets to be a little bit of a scrum and another tough

Showcase

By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com Upon the return of a recent two-week delegation to India, opportunities abound for both the state of Iowa as well as for its three Regents universities, including Iowa State.

Mufit Akinc, interim dean of Iowa State’s college of engineering, as well as one of the delegates to India, was quick to note that all developments in regards to future partnerships with India are in preliminary stages.

“I think this [trip] was almost fact-finding for us, and not all of the facts are in yet. We’re still going to be having conversations and having more back-and-forth communications to see what are the real opportunities for us, as well as for both sides to benefit,” Akinc said.

A measured approach has been undertaken, curtailing any certain plans for the time being. Some ideation has been developed, though, in terms of what a partnership with India could lead to.

“There are a number of organizations that do development work across India, whether it’s water quality or nutrition, health policy or agriculture to help small villages build themselves up,” said Jonathan Wickert, ISU senior vice president and provost and an India delegate.

ISU leaders engage legislators at first ISU Day at the Capitol

By Thaddeus.Mast @iowastatedaily.com Leaders from Iowa State received the chance to engage with legislators in Des Moines on Monday during ISU Day at the Capitol. Each college and department from Iowa State sent representatives to set up an information table to educate legislators on what the university is offering its students.

“It gives the legislators the option to know a little more about Iowa State,” said Tom Hill, senior vice president of student affairs. “It shows a lot of detail and a lot of things going on at Iowa State that are not apparent on the surface.”

RonCox,assistantvicepresidentofExtension and Outreach, agreed with Hill. “There’s a lot of people down here trying to teach legislators the [big] picture of what’s going on at Iowa State.”

President Steven Leath thought the day ended positively.

“I think it’s gone very well. People are very interested in what Iowa State’s doing and how its mission affects the State of Iowa,” Leath said.

“The [legislators] I’ve talked to individually are very responsive. They’ve come down, not just from the Ames delegation, but from everywhere around the state, and they’re very pleased with the attention Iowa State gives to the rest of the state.”

This is the first time in several years the ISU president has attended ISU Day at the Capitol.

“I do think it helps that we have a new president,” said Jeff Johnson, a member of the ISU Alumni Association. “I think it raises the level of critical importance to the legislature that he is taking time out of his schedule. Every president talks to legislators all the time, so this isn’t the one time they get to do it, but the fact that he’s here with his staff and being engaged with the legislator and the people of Iowa is a very strong and positive message.”

Leath described why the university is important to legislators.

“Iowa State is the only school that has offices in 99 counties through the extension program, plus we have students in all counties. We have more alums in Iowa than any other school. We also have more students from Iowa enrolled than any other school,” Leath said. “The legislators know that and understand what a huge roll we play in the state.”

“We see opportunities for Iowa State students to go over on internships, if you will, and be involved,” Wickert said.

Akinc also said he sees practicality in an India-Iowa relationship by means of modified student exchange programs, allowing Iowa State students further opportunities to study internationally.

These programs would be “not as much of semester-long students coming and going, maybe more of a short trip, a few weeks to a month or a month and a half at most that would not coincide with the semester,” Akinc said.

ISU Day has more faculty than students, but the goal is the same. The Government of the Student Body was represented, however.

“Our main goal today is just to represent students well. To get the message across that students of Iowa don’t only benefit the university, but when they graduate and during their time at Iowa State, they benefit the community as well as the entire state,” said Katie Brown, vice president of GSB. “The reactions today have been really positive. There is some surprise as to what we do. There’s been a lot of interest in what

“We are interested in having our graduates to have an international perspective from experience,” Akinc said.

With plenty of educationbased opportunities currently being mulled over, other opportunities could also be in play for the state of Iowa as a whole.

“Provost Wickert is going to transmit our impressions and suggestions from Iowa State University to the Board of Regents and the other Regents universities [that were represented in India] are going to be doing the same thing,” Akinc said.

Much of this information, in turn, will be further relayed to Iowa governor Terry Branstad, who could perhaps organize a second trip in the fall.

John Pritchard, graduate student and research assistant at Iowa State, and David Ringholz, associate professor of industrial design, set up a display for the legislators of a tractor towing a device with a warning light on top of it.

This device, to be placed on a tractor’s roof, knows when a tractor is about to roll over and sends text messages to designated phone numbers, including 911. The text includes a Google map with the exact position of the tractor.

“We are here for two things: First, is to promote integration between design and engineering,” Pritchard said. “We are also trying to save lives.”

Current details are scarce on what exactly could come as a result of Iowan governmental partnership with India, though Wickert sees similarities in Iowa’s interests with China to Iowa’s interests with India.

“The governor has shown an interest in having trade relationships and business relationships with China. India is another important country where it may make sense for the state of Iowa to have some engagement,” Wickert said.

One particular visit on the delegation demonstrated instances of how India and Iowa share some similarities and could foreseeably lead to future partnership.

“We visited a university in Northern India in a region of the country [Punjab] that is similar to Iowa in the sense that it’s a very agricultural region. There’s strong interest in having some collaborative research projects in plant genetics, for instance, to help that region improve its agricultural production,” Wickert said.

Developments with Punjab, just like other developments between the state of Iowa and India, are largely hypothetical at the moment. More concrete details are expected to surface in the coming months, with many people anxiously await-

A lack of concreteness does not detract from the optimism felt on what could become a promising relationship with one of the world’s fastestgrowing nations.

Study on student intervention reports success

By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com For more than two decades, the Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute at Iowa State has been developing interventions for children in the young adolescent stage.

The interventions have shown positive results for the participants.

Children who partook in the interventions saw trends of less risky behavior, better relationships with friends and family members, decreased depression and less substance abuse than the group that did not receive an intervention.

This was determined from surveys taken by former participants when they were 17 to 25 years old.

The concluded results from the study were made public by the National Institute on Drug Abuse on Feb. 14.

There have been three studies conducted so far, with each one building off the other. The first study took place in 1993, but it was originally spawned by the institute and Richard Spoth, director of the Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute, in 1986 to study the effects of the 1980s farm crisis on rural Iowan families.

All three studies used the ISU Extension and Outreach program to deliver the interventions. The first two studies were solely based in Iowa, while the third study included Iowa and Pennsylvania participants with the help of Penn State University.

“The way we were delivering these programs is important,” Spoth said. “Extension reaches everywhere, it’s a key point.”

All the studies were divided into an intervention and control group, with the control group not receiving any intervention programs until after the study was over.

The groups were cities and towns; one town had the

Intervention studies ■■ First study: 1993, familyfocused intervention ■■ Second study:1997, familyfocused and school-based intervention ■■ Third study: 2002, Prosper program introduced ■■ Studies included sixth- and seventh-grade students.

■■ The first two studies took place in Iowa, third study took place in Iowa and Pennsylvania.

■■ The third study was a collaboration between Iowa State and Penn State University.

Photo illustration: Liz Ulrichson/Iowa State Daily A study conducted by PPSI and Richard Spoth concluded that the adolescents who received intervention were less likely to be depressed and abuse substances.

The study is the third to implement a similar model comparing both cities and towns. Many areas continued the program even after the study’s conclusion.

program while another town did not. The groups were compared at the end, with the intervention group showing the best results.

The studies consisted of 22 to 28 towns.

The first study in 1993 was a family intervention program, and the second study in 1997 combined the family program with a school intervention program.

The 1993 study focused on families with children in the sixth grade, while the 1997 study focused on seventh graders in the school setting.

The third study began in 2002 and used a new program, which, based off the two prior studies, is called the Prosper Partnership model. Prosper

uses a small, local social network to begin recruiting, usually employing the help of local leaders to help integrate the program into the community.

From there, community teams, which include local leaders and members of the local extension office, tried to implement the intervention program into the local school district and area families.

“It is an evidence-based program; programs that are tested and found to be affective,” said Jane Todey, program manager for the Prosper program at the Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute.

“The Prosper model helps people stay on-target and made a bigger difference than traditional intervention

programs.

Many areas chosen for the intervention program have since continued the programs

long after the study was over and the grant funds were gone.

“These studies have shown the potential to help everyone

through implementation of these interventions through cooperative extension,” Spoth said.

Editorial:

Investments of all kinds are necessary Since the United States used the atomic bomb to end World War II in August 1945, nuclear weapons and the problems associated with nuclear waste have been the bane of the world’s existence. Like Marx’s specter of communism that was haunting Europe in 1848, the specter of a meltdown in a nuclear power plant, a country rashly using nuclear weapons, and leakages from disposal sites for nuclear waste haunts the modern world.

Fortunately, although many countries have tested nuclear weapons, they have been used only twice, and nuclear power disasters have been few. A few legendary occasions come to mind.

In 1979 in Pennsylvania, the Three Mile Island power plant suffered an accident in which part of the nuclear reactor core melted. In 1986 in northern Ukraine, the Chernobyl power plant also suffered an accident that released about five percent of the nuclear reactor’s core of radioactive material into the atmosphere. Following an earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the Fukushima power plant in Japan also suffered an accident where the cores of three reactors melted within a few days.

Although not as prominent as a potential nuclear power plant disaster, leakages of nuclear waste from disposal sites are just as serious, contaminating water and the environment. But nuclear waste seeping into the ground many years after it is buried is a much less exciting, much less fear-inducing and much less visible topic.

A disposal site in the state of Washington, however, is experiencing just that. Major media outlets have reported the leakage there, but, unlike such incidents with nuclear power as Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, the placement of that news ranks low on their priority list.

That lack of concern is indicative of at least one broader issue: We (through our governmental institutions) give far too little attention to infrastructure.

Nuclear waste disposal must be done in a safe way, but when transportation infrastructure is so inadequate, we cannot expect isolated disposal facilities to receive much attention.

The United States, thanks largely to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s initiative to create the interstate highways, currently has a very good transportation network. Roads need to be maintained, however. One year ago, the American Society of Civil Engineers stated that funding deficiencies for road maintenance cumulatively amount to $3 trillion. Even though it has been estimated that traffic delays and poor roads that cause greater wear and tear on vehicles cost Americans $129 billion per year, we seem reluctant to tackle such a looming problem.

The issue isn’t just a federal one.

According to a poll conducted this month by the Des Moines Register, 63 percent of Iowans oppose raising the gas tax, which pays for road maintenance. If people are unwilling to support the improvement of infrastructure affecting their daily lives, it is foolish to believe they would support increased funding for the proper use and disposal of hazardous materials that they cannot see looming over them on the landscape.

Nice, clean things cost money.

Resolving such problems on the cheap is a Band-Aid approach that shortchanges the future.

Games evolved culturally File photo: Iowa State Daily Video games have evolved over the years. They used to be commonly associated with nerds and social rejects. Now, however, that stigma has started to fade, especially since games have begun targeting a broader audience, including Nintendo’s Wii attracting the attention of families.

V

ideo games have come a long way from their simple beginnings. For the most part, these changes are wrought by the constant technology improvements. The gaming experience has gone from stand-up arcade machines like “Pac-Man” and “Space Invader”s to detailed adventures like “Crysis 3” and “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.”

But, gaming has changed in ways other than technological proficiency. When I was growing up on “Spyro the Dragon” and “Mario Kart,” I thought gaming was a finer point in life, and I thought everyone would agree. Time passed, and my elementary classmates were quick to show me how wrong I was; gaming was for nerds and social rejects. That stigma has clung to the gaming industry though the image of the “typical gamer” has ranged from skinny, bespectacled twerps to obese, greasy neckbeards.

However, in the last five to 10 years, that stigma has begun to fade. In many ways, it is because of a rising tide of “nerd culture.”

Attachment to retro gaming and comic books is now often seen as endearing rather than dorky.

In our modern society, quirkiness is more widely accepted than ever before. Though tried and tested gamers scoff at these “casuals,” there is no denying that they bring a measure of cultural acceptance to the industry.

The gaming industry’s assimilation into common culture is brought about by more than these faux-nerds. Nintendo’s Wii, released in 2006, pulled in an oft-neglected market for the industry: the family. With games that incorporate motion-sensing and party play, the

Wii attracted the attention of many parents.

Microsoft and Sony have since then ventured similarly into family gaming, with varying success. Regardless of the console on which it is played, this style of gaming raised the industry’s social acceptability even more.

In addition to the family aspect, video games have broadened their horizons. Now, gaming has something for everyone. Horror games, like “Dead Space 3,” are played on the same systems on which you can play the cinematic, Indiana Jones-esque Uncharted games. Maybe, you’re looking for an experience in which you solve puzzles, save the world or even raise puppies. Video games cover all of that and more.

With video games reaching out to such a broad audience nowadays, it would seem as if the “nerd” label would be completely peeled off.

But, the dorky stigma of gaming is actually just giving way to a more serious (and some would say ludicrous) stigma: gaming’s connection to violence. Every school shooting or other disaster is accompanied by some general, blanketing blame produced by the media; lately, that blame has been placed squarely on video games.

Undeniably, video games contain violence that occasionally goes beyond imagination.

Despite this, conclusive proof that video games inspire acts of violence seems markedly lacking. However, the discussion rages on.

Articles such as one clever satirical piece by Wired Magazine (“Blame Game: Video Games, Violence and Consequences”) and an article on The Huffington Post offer perspectives that

differ both in opinion and style.

Whether you believe that there is a dangerous connection between video games and violence, the industry further integrates itself into society. And, despite the apparent violence, many games have surprising benefits.

Though originally thought of as an antisocial behavior, gaming is becoming increasingly social. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games like “World of Warcraft” are a classic example of social gaming. However, now you would be hard pressed to find a game that can’t somehow connect you with a broader network of players. Sure, it’s not the same as going to parties or spending the day with friends, but gaming is definitely a social activity.

In addition, research has shown that playing video games improves individuals’ decision-making skills and reaction times. It has the ability to sharpen cognitive abilities through the difficult situations and fast-paced action that many games force you into. These recent studies defy the older belief that sitting in front of the television with a controller clutched in your hands dulls mental acuity.

Video gaming has bloomed into a vast industry though it has faced recent trial through the media’s habit of blaming it for contemporary violence. By reaching cultural acceptance, the gaming industry is at least a small part of nearly everyone’s life.

Should religions be businesses?

W

hat did Pope Benedict XVI give up for Lent?

The papacy. *rimshot* Catholic jokes have been rolling for years with a proclivity toward the rather dark-comedy approach to child molestation by priests. With the pope’s resignation, what had been disturbingly joked at has returned in the news.

Due to the often-times confusing “leniency” granted to religious organizations, the ability to create change in the Catholic Church regarding their practices and hiring of priests has not been as progressive as would be expected given the staggering number of abuse allegations made yearly.

And those allegations have only increased with time, likely due to advances in technology, media coverage and general opinion of many people that there is no such thing as infallible, even for religious bodies.

This relates to Pope Benedict’s recent decision to remain in the Vatican possibly with the reasoning that doing so maintains his legal protections against sexual abuse cases across the globe.

“In 2010 ... Benedict was named as a defendant in a law suit alleging that he failed to take action as a cardinal in 1995 when he was allegedly told about a priest who had abused boys at a U.S. school for the deaf decades earlier.

The lawyers withdrew the case last year, and the Vatican said it was a major victory that proved the pope could not be held liable for the actions of abusive priests,” wrote Philip Pullella in a Reuters article.

By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com religious/charitable organizations.

The number of lawsuits for sexual abuse or other negligent activities would have crippled any other organization or corporation, at the least forcing a massive number of layoffs, restructuring and severing of government financing.

So, why do those permissions continue? Churches are, arguably, the largest corporations on the planet. Their inner-workings rival anything imaginable from such corporate giants as Royal Dutch Oil, the rest of the energy companies or Wal-Mart. Is the freedom granted to those organizations an idea that has outlived its time?

The Catholic Church continues to demand access to public health care subsidies while fighting some requirements it does not agree with: contraceptives for one.

The church doesn’t have a strong history of reprimanding those who do not report sexual abuse claims to the authorities and even of only relocating suspected priests to new towns.

Funding those churches comes at great cost. When funds actually come in that might exceed the costs for a particular diocese, they tend to be eaten up by paying for lawsuits concerning abuse.

Doesn’t it make sense to alter practices to prevent a crime continually occurring rather than keep shelling out money and stick-

ing to outdated practices?

With those actions in mind, why does the church continue to hold onto tax exemptions and other public funding? Governments are constantly altering practices to fit funding and safety needs.

Why should religious allotments not come with the same sort of assistance stipulations?

This isn’t to say religion should not be protected or granted some special permissions. Despite the many wrongs involving representatives of the Catholic Church, it provides positive life assistance, both monetarily and spiritually, to millions around the world.

Religions around the world provide hope and assistance to those who follow their teachings and even to some that merely ask for help. Worldwide religions often instruments for good, hampered by the misdeeds of few.

But providing assistance and hope is not enough to be excused from adhering to regulations or being subject to change. $62, annually, for the general public.

When an organization is receiving public funds and special exemptions and influencing the politics and lives of entire countries, it cannot expect to have its cake and eat it too. The protections for your average Joe are not the same protections to be had for these colossal organizations.

The Catholic Church and all other religious organizations are hardly different than other businesses. They provide services for the people and rely on funds from people — or roundabouts the government from the people — to continue on and prosper.

Nothing is static in the world, and if religious organizations want to continue reaping government benefits, enlightenment and transparency, those organizations must play by the rules based on how they operate and compromise.

Market moves to new location Increasing rent, competition forces owners to change venues

The downtown Ames Farmer’s Market has closed at the Ames train depot and is now resettling at Black’s Heritage Farm.

After the combination of rent increase and close competition, losses became too much for the market.

“We just really couldn’t afford the rent; [it] was outrageous. Once they started the other [farmer’s market], that sunk us because half our vendors went with them even though we were year round. That basically caused our downfall,” said Noreen Black, who led the downtown farmer’s market with her husband, Duane.

Another major problem was that the Main Street farmer’s market was newer and had a larger budget for advertising and publicity, while the depot did not.

With that, Black’s vendors felt by leaving they could maximize their profits by moving to the new Main Street Farmer’s Market. Since the Main Street market is only seasonal, there’s a large influx of customers for a short amount of time, opposed to the market at the depot, which is year round. The problem with the year round market is that it brings in smaller numbers of customers, throughout the year.

“They left because they thought they could make a lot of money in a short amount of time,” Black said.

“The big thing was they had a large advertising budget, and we didn’t. We did get free publicity, but there was a lot more than that; we’ve been here for five generations, but it was about a $40,000 loss.”

It was apparent to entrepreneurs around the area what was happening as well.

“When she was in there, she had people that were vendors, and when the Main Street market opened, I think they saw a bigger and better opportunity over there,” said Denny Thiel, owner of Thiel’s Bicycles.

He started his small bicycle shop in the depot shortly before the downtown farmer’s market closed shop.

The couple has now prepared to set up a new venue, which will be hosted at their farm located at 26156 530th Ave. in Ames. It is similar to a normal farmer’s market, and will be called a farm market.

Because of their age, they want to give other younger, more eager groups a chance to get their foot in the door with agriculture.

“We sold our acreage to a very young couple, and I think they’ll do very well. They’re very stable with the fact that they know they have to do the work and that they’re not going to be millionaires,” Black said.

The younger the better is the name of the game in farming and the markets; Black said they even have a 9-year-old vendor this year.

Although the decision to close at the depot was a hard one, more opportunities lay ready in the future.

They plan to open the farm market April 27, and plan to host a cafe-style area for people to try foods before they take it home and try to cook it themselves.

This is a big challenge for many people who are interested in buying from farmer’s markets.

The Black family hasn’t stated the operating times of their new venture, but have said that it will most likely be weekends for now.

The Blacks’ farm has been around for five generations.

In the spring they grow corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, beans and more.

In the fall they give tours and have a pumpkin patch.

The downtown farmer’s market separated from the market at North Grand Mall more than a decade ago; now the North Grand Market stands today year round.

College of Business

Jiang named first recipient of Thome Professorship Professor says money will support projects

By Justin.Senecaut @iowastatedaily.com Zhengrui Jiang, associate professor of information systems, has been named the recipient of Thome Professorship in business.

Stated on the College of Business news release, Kenneth Thome, a 1969 graduate of the ISU business program, created this position to honor professors who demonstrate an understanding of and a commitment to undergraduate teaching.

Jiang is the first professor to receive this position.

According to Jiang’s professional homepage, he joined the information systems faculty at Iowa State in 2008.

Before joining Iowa State, he was an assistant professor of computer information systems at the University of North Alabama for three years.

“I didn’t want to be a professor at first. My goals changed over time,” Jiang said.

Jiang had more than six years of industry experience in China and in the United States, encompassing international trade management and software development, before joining academia.

“Becoming Thome Professor has given me the ability to have more resources for training, researching,

books and materials,” Jiang said.

Becoming theThome Professor gives the ability to that professor to be able to do more researching, improve his or her teaching and getting the materials needed faster.

Jiang will receive money without going through forms to receive the funding to do research. Jiang said, “I’m already Thome Professor, and I’m using the money I’m getting from being Thome Professor to buy books and equipment right now.”

Just like students, professors have goals they want to reach in their lives, too. The Thome Professorship will help Jiang achieve, or at least take steps toward achieving his goals.

“My goals for the future are to al-

ways improve at teaching, doing more research and always be able to provide help when needed,” Jiang said.

The money that is provided with being Thome Professor will help with achieving some of these goals.

One of these goals that the funding will help Jiang achieve is doing more research.

Jiang said the money he gets changes year to year, and currently the money that he receives will support his projects, such as public beta testing, market entry timing for new product generations, etc.

Jiang said that he will not teach any classes this summer and focus his time on doing research. Jiang doesn’t have a research assistant at this time,

Ready For A Different Type of Internship?

Technical Skills Convenient Location Global Business Opportunities Challenging Projects Flexible Hours Cutting-Edge Technologies

but he does have a graduate assistant who helps him with two undergraduate classes that he is teaching this semester.

Zhisong Pei is a graduate student who is in business administration.

“I have been helping Professor Jiang since August [2012], and I am helping him with grading homework and tests for business data networking,” Pei said.

So far, Pei will only help with the classes that Jiang is teaching this semester.

“The ceremony was supposed to be last week, and Kenneth Thome and his wife were supposed to attend, but because of the weather it is moved back to an unknown date,” Jiang said.

Win at K-State gets Cyclones back on track in their season

than one thing, it means you are doing things besides doing stuff for yourself,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly of Poppens’ accomplishment.

“When you think about the level of play in this league, we’ve had some pretty good players here, and she’s only the second one that’s every done it.”

Poppens’ performance against Kansas State was her sixth doubledouble of the season. The Aplington, Iowa, native and former Cyclone Angie Welle is the only other player in team history to have tallied more than 1,000 career points and rebounds.

The senior said while it was cool to join that limited group of people for that accomplishment, she never really expected to reach that mark in her career.

After a tough loss at home against West Virginia on Feb. 17, Iowa State had six days without another game in which it could reflect on what it let slip away against the Mountaineers or move on.

The Cyclones chose to move on in their preparation for Kansas State.

“The week off is hard when you lost,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “But, I think our team approached the K-State game with a lot of maturity. We practiced really hard the two days leading up to the game but short. I thought they were ready to play, and I thought the first half we were exactly what we needed to be.”

Iowa State jumped out to a 39-17 lead at halftime and never

“I just came in wanting to get bet-

looked back while holding the Wildcats to 18.5 percent shooting from the floor in the first half.

Forward Hallie Christoffeson could sense how important the win was for not only this season but historically.

The Cyclones had never won three straight games at Bramlage Coliseum until their 69-50 win Saturday.

“Playing at Kansas State, we just brought what we didn’t bring against West Virginia,” Christofferson said.

“We just went down there and played like we are capable of playing and played a decent, solid game. Kansas State is a hard place to play, but [winning there] three years in a row is good.”

ter and wanting to contribute to the team and do my part and just have fun in the process,” Poppens said. “The last game, I didn’t even know I needed

six more rebounds to [pass 1,000].”

Center and fellow senior Anna Prins, who has played alongside Poppens since the two arrived to

www.iowastatedaily.com/classifieds

Iowa State as freshmen in 2009, said with a laugh Poppens didn’t really let on to the rest of the team to her excitement about her accomplishment and has been humble about it. That’s not to say Prins won’t do a little bragging for her.

“Once coached announced it to us on the bus ride back from K-State, we were all really happy for her,” Prins said.

“Just to be able to play alongside her for four years, just to say I played with someone who accomplished that, is really special.”

Poppens will have three more regular season games to continue to add to her career rebounding total with two of the three being at Hilton Coliseum.

The Cyclones play against Kansas at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum.

Chelsea Poppens has put herself among some elite company in not only ISU women’s basketball history, but she has also put herself in Big 12 Conference women’s basketball history.

With Iowa State’s 6950 win at Kansas State on Saturday, the senior forward scored 14 points and also notably grabbed 11 rebounds to push her to more than 1,000 career rebounds.

Poppens is now just the second ISU player and the 14th Big 12 player to surpass 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career. She joined the 1,000-point club earlier this season on Nov. 11 in an 84-65 win against Western Illinois.

Men’s golf

Cyclones attempt to get over hump Team shows improvement as it hits first par of season

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Another meet, another middle-of-the-pack finish.

It’s a script that the ISU men’s golf team has been unintentionally following this spring season, but the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate did show signs of improvement.

The men finished sixth in a field of 17 teams in Palm Springs, Calif., this past weekend. It was the team’s third time finishing in the top half of the standings in seven meets this season.

Although it may not have been perfect golf, the Cyclones hit even par as a team for the first time this spring.

“I wouldn’t say our score [Sunday] was an amazing score by any means, ... but you have to be happy when you see some improvement,” said coach

Andrew Tank.

The team sat in 11th place after the first day and moved up to eighth after back-to-back rounds of 300. The improvement in the final round — a score of 288 — was the third-best round the team has shot this season and the first sub-300 round of the spring.

“The first two days were disappointing. Just not good play from the guys,” Tank said. “I was feeling a lot better about how it went in the final round.”

The round was led by Sam Daley and Collin Foster, who each shot season-lows of 70. Daley ended up finishing first on the team with an overall score of 218 and tied for 16th individually.

Daley’s play wasn’t always perfect, however.

During the first round after a disappointing start, Tank pulled him aside to talk.

“I talked to him on the 12th hole before he teed off and told him he needs to snap out of it and ... needed to get his act together,” Tank said. “I think then the last 43 holes he played four under par, so that was pretty impressive.”

This is also Daley’s first finish at the top of the

Cyclone lineup with Scott Fernandez also on the scorecard this season. Daley credited the talk with coaches as the turning point.

“From my point of view, sometimes you don’t think you’re good enough to compete with the guys, and you kind of start doubting yourself,” Daley said.

“It was really good talking to coach Tank and coach Datz to try to get me back in the groove.”

The team’s No. 1, Scott Fernandez, had a quiet weekend, finishing second on the team and finishing outside the top three individually for the first time this season.

Fernandez shot a round of 72 before shooting back-to-back rounds of 74 to finish with a score of 220, tied for 22nd individually. However, his season-worst play didn’t deflate him.

“Like they say, sometimes the worst tournaments are really helpful and you can learn a lot from them, so I’m just taking it like that,” Fernandez said.

“I’m happy that even with not my best game I’m able to score and keep the team in [one of] the top spots.”

The Cyclones are off until a March 22 meeting at the Furman Intercollegiate in Greenville, S.C.

>>DEJA VU.p1 Unfortunate that we walk away with zero wins against them.”

Elijah Johnson led Kansas with an extraterrestrial closing 4:34 of the game, scoring 17 of the last 21 points in regulation for the Jayhawks, including 10 in the extra period, giving him an even 30 points in the second half and overtime and 39 on the night.

“He was unbelievable, said KU coach Bill Self. “He was the best guard and the best player in the country tonight. I’ve had some guys get 30 before, but I’ve never had a guy get 30 in a half.”

Monday’s game resembled that of a heavyweight prize fight, with both teams exchanging blows the entire ball game.

The Cyclones had the game at hand, but then let the game slip through their fingers after they held an 87-82 lead with only 40 Photo: Grace Steenhagen/Iowa State Daily seconds left in the game.

Postgame, Georges Niang was asked whether he thought they The crowd goes crazy after Tyrus McGee sinks another 3-pointer in the second half of the game against Kansas. Hilton Coliseum was a full house on Monday night. had the game at hand after his 3-pointer gave Iowa State a fivepoint lead in the waning parts of the game.

“With the way this season’s gone — no,” Niang said. “But I thought we had a good chance to win it, especially at the end, but a call is a call. We’re men here and we’re going to move on and I promise you one thing, we’re going to come back even harder the next day.”

Then Elijah Johnson canned back-to-back 3-pointers to bring it to 89-88, leading to Korie Lucious’ making one of two free throws and Elijah Johnson tying the game sending it to overtime.

Iowa State broke the school record with 17 3-pointers, shooting 48 percent in regulation before missing all six in the extra period. On the other end, Kansas made 13 of their 25 shots from behind the arc as well, getting five from Travis Releford and six from Elijah Johnson.

Niang, who came into the game averaging 11.4 points per game and shooting better than 53 percent from the field, made only three of his 17 shots, still finding a way to score 15 points, making three 3s and all six of his free throws. Niang did “facilitate” as Hoiberg put it, dishing out seven assists with no turnovers.
