Local gyms want to turn New Year’s resolutions into success stories

First Day Hike: Some of the nearly 40 participants in the New Year’s Day hike at Green Valley State Park walk across a water crossing on the east side of Green Valley Lake. The event was part of America’s State Parks First Day Hikes, which included guided hikes at 26 state parks in Iowa. Most of the participants in Sunday’s event at Green Valley walked a 2-mile route on the recreation trail from the dam on the south end of the lake to the park office on the north end. Refreshments were served at the park office after the hike.

Less than 3 weeks left: Obama in closing stretch of presidency HONOLULU (AP) — His last presidential vacation behind him, Barack Obama is entering the closing stretch of his presidency, an eleventh-hour push to tie up loose ends and put finishing touches on his legacy before handing the reins to President-elect Donald Trump.

Obama returns to Washington midday Monday from Hawaii with just twoand-a-half weeks left. His final days will largely be consumed by a bid to protect his endangered health care law, a major farewell speech and the ongoing handover of power to Trump.

In an email to supporters on Monday, Obama said

he’ll deliver a valedictory speech on Jan. 10, following a tradition set in 1796 when the first president, George Washington, spoke to the American people for the last time in office.

The speech will take place at McCormick Place, a giant convention center in Obama’s hometown of Chicago.

“I’m thinking about them as a chance to say thank you for this amazing journey, to celebrate the ways you’ve changed this country for the better these past eight Obama

years, and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here,” Obama said.

Obama’s chief speechwriter, Cody Keenan, traveled with Obama to Hawaii and spent much of the trip working on the speech. The Chicago trip will likely be Obama’s last outside Washington as president and will include a “family reunion” for Obama’s former campaign staffers.

Obama is also planning last-minute commutations and pardons, White House officials said, in line with his second-term effort to cut sentences for inmates given unduly harsh sentences for drug crimes. Though prominent offenders like Edward Snowden and Rod

Blagojevich are also asking for leniency, Obama’s final acts of clemency are expected to remain focused on drug offenders whose plight Obama tried but failed to address through criminal justice reform.

After taking office eight years ago, Obama and his aides were effusive in their praise for how Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, helped his team take over the massive federal bureaucracy. Obama has vowed to pass on the favor to Trump. But the transition hasn’t been without incident.

The two teams have clashed over the Trump OBAMA | 2A

It’s no secret gyms often see an influx of members at the turn of a new year.

This year, Southern Prairie YMCA in Creston offers four different programs for those members who want to set a health- and fitness-related New Year’s resolution.

CrossFit TYL in Creston also offers something for those wanting to improve their health.

The Y is bringing back its Boot Camp beginning today. Sessions are 5:30-6:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until Jan. 30.

After a successful summer Boot Camp program, Southern Prairie YMCA Sports and Healthy Living Coordinator Emi O’Neall said she wanted to do one in the winter.

Everything will be inside the gym. Activities will include circuits, tabata and a tire night again.

“I always think this is a good program for someone who doesn’t have the motivation to start because we’ll help you get that,” O’Neall said.

“Once you get it, it’s really easy to get going. Also, we’ll give you different stages. O’Neall If you can’t do the regular workout, we’ll stage it

down for you so everyone can get a good workout.”

The Y also offers Jump Start Jam from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, allowing anyone to try out the different classes offered at the Y for free. Classes will be broken up into 10- to 15-minute segments.

The 4 Weeks to a Healthier You class runs every Tuesday in January from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“We have Dr. Tom Young, Ginny Lints, the dietitian from Greater Regional, and Lauren Spranger go over health factors of chronic disease just to get you started off on the right foot for the year,” O’Neall said. “The classes include a hardcover journal and a month pass to the Y if you complete the four weeks.”

The Y has also brought back its smartest loser challenge, which is free to anyone. The challenge runs until March 6, with the person losing the most pounds in the 10 weeks receiving a trophy.

At CrossFit TYL, new members can attend classes for the month of January for $20.17. The gym is also bringing back its nutrition challenge, which includes a month of unlimited crossfit classes and the Whole30 nutrition challenge for $40.

“They get access to our private Facebook support group, and then lots of recipes and a packet that gives them detailed instruction on RESOLUTION | 2A

Ervin John Ehm, son of Conrad and Christina (Marckmann) Ehm, was born Feb. 22, 1924, in rural Fontanelle in Adair County. He was baptized April 4, 1924, and confirmed June 5, 1938, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fontanelle.

He grew up in the rural Fontanelle area and graduated from Fontanelle High School in 1942.

On Feb. 25, 1945, he married Ione Brown at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Ervin and Ione started farming southeast of Fontanelle and moved southwest of Greenfield in 1950. Ervin’s farming vocation was diversified with a four-crop rotation, cow-calf herds, farrow-finish hogs, chick-layer hens, garden and orchard. Ervin managed their land using soil and conservation stewardship practices for which they received several awards. In 1995, Ervin and Ione retired from the farm and moved to a new home in Greenfield.

Ervin served on church council, Summerset Township Trustees, Farmers’ Coop Board, Extension Service Council and was a Luther League sponsor for nine years.

Ervin is survived by his children, Maurice (Diana) Ehm, Marvin (Faye) Ehm and Bonnie (Henry) Hyda; grandchildren, Heather (Dana) LeVasseur, Melissa (Curtis) Pote, Kirstin Ehm (Max Kenkel), Jess (Joni) Ehm, Lydia Ehm, Eden Ehm, Jill Hyda and Tracey (Bryce) Kolund, great-grandchildren, Porter, Preston, Peyton and Parker LeVasseur, Isabella, Landon and Lucianna Pote, Clinton and Isaac Ehm, and Shea and baby boy Kolund (arriving February 2017) and three nieces.

Ervin was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Ione; parents; sister Marie Winkler; infant brother Marvin Dean; brothers-in-law, LeRoy Winkler and Fred Fischer, sister-in-law Roene Fischer and a nephew.

He was raised in Afton and graduated from Arispe High School.

On Oct. 13, 1951, Don married Anna Louise Swanson at St. Joseph’s Parish in Des Moines. He served his country as a sergeant with the United States Army during the Korean Conflict.

He spent two months in Japan and 13 months in Korea. He was honorably discharged in April 1953. They lived their entire married life together in the Afton area where Donald farmed. Donald retired from farming in 1992.

Donald was a member of St. Edwards Catholic Church in Afton, the Afton V.F.W. and a former member of Knights of Columbus.

Donald is survived by his wife Anna of Afton; sons, Stephen (Della) Weis of Fort Worth, Texas, Alan (Kelly) Weis of Afton, Brian Weis of Creston, Michael (Valerie) Weis of Norwalk, Carl (Brooke) Weis of Norwalk, Louis (Cindy) Weis of Elk Point, South Dakota, Thomas (Dawn) Weis of Stanton and Matthew (Julie) Weis of Creston; daughters, Callista (Joseph - deceased) Slorah

Donors to Iowa governor’s 2015 inaugural fund remain secret IOWA CITY (AP) — A charity controlled by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has missed a legal deadline for disclosing the names of donors who paid for his inaugural celebration two years ago.

Tax experts say the lack of disclosure could subject the group to IRS penalties of $100 per day retroactive to Nov. 15, when the information was due.

It also means the public doesn’t know the identities of individuals and corporations who wrote checks totaling $1 million toward Branstad’s inauguration and namesake college scholarship fund. Branstad is preparing to leave office to become the next ambassador to China in the Trump administration.

Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes says the group’s ac-

countant is still gathering information on the contributors

and plans to file an amended return disclosing them.

how to succeed with this nutrition program,” CrossFit TYL Owner Chris Doster said. “Basically, they’re getting everything they need to become the healthiest version of themselves or take a step toward that in the month of January.”

Staying committed Often, one of the biggest issues with New Year’s resolutions is staying committed to that goal.

Doster said adding accountability to a plan is one of the biggest keys to staying committed.

“That means hopefully having a partner, ... have somebody who is going to

team’s requests for information Obama aides fear could be used to eliminate government employees who worked on Obama priorities like climate change and minority rights overseas. Trump’s team, meanwhile, has been frustrated

by Obama’s attempts to box Trump in with parting moves to block ocean drilling, declare new monuments and further empty out the Guantanamo Bay prison.

While on his annual vacation in Oahu, Obama asserted himself forcefully on two foreign policy issues that put him in direct conflict with Trump. Obama directed the U.S. to defy tradition by allowing a U.N. Security Council resolution criticizing Israel on settlements to pass, then slapped Russia with sweeping penalties over U.S. allegations of hacking.

The final days are Obama’s last chance to define his presidency before he loses the bully pulpit and

do it with you,” Doster said.

“It’s too easy to talk ourselves out of going to the gym on a cold morning. At least tell people that care about you what you plan to do and ask them to hold you accountable. It’s pretty easy to fall off and act like it never happened.”

Doster noted the CrossFit TYL gym adds accountability right away with coaches and other members forming a family who checks in on people.

Classes at the Y act in the same manner.

“I always think the beginning of the year is the most important because people want to start off on the right foot for the new year, so if you come pick a class to try, we can help you get started and you can keep it up

throughout the year,” O’Neall said. “Once you get in the classes, it becomes more like a family, and it’s really easy to come to the classes once you’re started. They help you stay active and keep going throughout the year.”

cedes his legacy to historians. For Obama, helping Americans understand how his two terms have reshaped American life is even more critical amid concerns that Trump may undo much of what he accomplished, including the health law.

As Trump and Republicans vow to gut the Affordable Care Act, Democrats are working to devise a strategy to protect the law by exploiting GOP divisions about how to replace it.

To Trump that end, Obama will travel Wednesday to the Capitol to meet with House and Senate Democrats, likely his last meeting with his party’s lawmakers as president.

His administration is also working feverishly to finish up regulations in the pipeline that Obama hopes can be completed in the final days, perhaps increasing the likelihood his policies carry over. But the closer it gets to Trump’s inauguration, the

harder those tasks become.

Though Obama remains president until Jan. 20, the White House can’t process the departure of all its staffers on a single day. So, this week Obama aides will start “offloading,” turning in their Blackberries and shutting down their computers for the last time, leaving a smaller staff on hand for the final days.

Obama must also prepare to become a private citizen for the first time in two decades. An office of the former president must be stood up, and Obama’s family will be making arrangements to move into a rental home in Northwest Washington where they plan to stay until youngest daughter Sasha finishes high school.

The Obamas have long lamented how the presidency denied them freedom and privacy, with first lady Michelle Obama likening the White House to “a really nice prison.” But on their last Hawaii vacation, the first family took time out to visit Breakout Waikiki, where visitors are “trapped” in a room together and must try, as a team, to escape.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND ON comes from a reader who works as a morning manager at a fast-food restaurant in San Antonio.

– Heloise “It’s a different experience working the morning shift as opposed to the evening or night shifts. Morning customers seem to be much more pleasant, probably because their day’s just beginning!

“More than twice, while working the drive-thru, customers have paid for their meal but have also picked up the tab of the vehicle behind them. This action prompted the people in that vehicle to pick up the tab of the vehicle behind them, and so on and so on.

“One morning, 14 customers ‘paid it forward’ by paying for the next customer’s order. The last car in the line had no one behind him, so he graciously accepted the ‘paid in full’ gift of the previous customer.

“This simple little action keeps me believing in the niceness of people!” – Ryan A., via email FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some other things you can use as gaming pieces for

board games: * tiny wads of colored sticky notes * buttons * pebbles or rocks * coins * seashells.

– Heloise FEATHER-DUSTER DILEMMA Dear Heloise: I have a feather duster that’s in dire need of cleaning. I’ve tried different powders and gentle solutions, but haven’t had much success. Do you have any ideas, or should I just give it up and purchase a new one? – Frank M., via email Frank, try cornstarch.

Simply place the duster in a strong plastic or paper bag, then pour in a box of cornstarch. Hold the bag closed tight and shake hard for about 15-30 seconds. This is best done outside. Remove the feather duster from the bag and shake out until the rest of the cornstarch is removed. Some of my best cleaning solutions are in a pamphlet titled Homemade Cleaning Solutions. To get one, visit www. Heloise. com, or send a business-size, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/ HCS, P.O.

Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Should you decide to make any of my cleaning solutions, be sure to label your bottles appropriately, since different cleaners work on different surfaces, and you would hate to ruin a surface because you used the wrong cleaner! – Heloise ‘TIS NOBODY’S BUSINESS Dear Heloise: I was reading your article on removing or destroying the labels on empty medicine bottles and was curious as to why one would do that. What info can someone get off them? – Jamie H., via email I posed this question to my office staff. Here’s what came out of the discussion: It was unanimous that it’s nobody’s business what is prescribed.

One staff member stated, “If you had meds for a ‘transmitted’ disease or were on meds for some kind of emotional disorder, would you want that information out in the open? Maybe, maybe not, but that should be your choice, not chance’s choice.”

Bottom line: Better to be safe than sorry. – Heloise (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

BASKETBALL Iowa rallies past Michigan 86-83 in overtime

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Jordan Bohannon and the rest of Iowa’s freshmen are learning how to win.

It certainly helps that the Hawkeyes have a steady senior in Peter Jok to show them how it’s done.

Jok scored 25 points, including a decisive 3 with 1:16 left in overtime, and Iowa rallied to beat Michigan 86-83 on Sunday for its fifth straight win over the Wolverines.

Bohannon added 17 points and six assists without a turnover for the Hawkeyes (9-6, 1-1 Big Ten), who overcame a monster game by Michigan’s D . J .

Wilson for their sixth win in s e v e n McCaffery games.

“He’s just a special player,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said of Bohannon. “There’s no panic in him.”

Derrick Walton Jr.’s breakaway layup with 21 seconds to go pulled Michigan (10-4, 0-1) within 84-83. But Jok hit two free throws after a hard foul, and Wilson clanked a 3 off the backboard — which wasn’t what the Wolverines drew up in the huddle — that would’ve likely forced a second overtime.

“I thought we did a good job of making them take contested shots those last 20 seconds,” said Iowa’s Nicholas Baer.

Wilson set a career high with 28 points, and he added 14 rebounds and six assists. Duncan Robinson scored 15 off the bench for the Wolverines, who were just 12 of 35 from 3-point range.

Kronberg’s Korner: McMurray, Bulldogs start league play right way Thursday DES MOINES — De’Antae McMurray’s transition from the junior college level to Division I has been tricky at times.

McMurray’s starting to find his role for the Drake men’s basketball team.

McMurray’s skill offensively shined Thursday as Drake held on for a 102-98 win over Loyola (IL) at the Knapp Center in the Bulldogs’ Missouri Valley Conference opener.

McMurray was on fire in all phases in scoring a career-high 24 points. He was 7-of-14 from the floor including 3-of-6 from 3-point range. McMurray was 7-of-8 at the free throw line, including 5-of-6 at the line in the final two minutes.

“We expect that out of him every night,” said junior guard Reid Timmer. “We have high expectations for him. He might not have a career night, but that’s not some-

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sports editor

thing that’s out of line for us.”

McMurray’s confidence grew after every made shot.

Having another weapon offensively besides Timmer will help the Bulldogs be more dynamic offensively.

“We knew he was capable of it,” Timmer said. “He’s someone who has really developed. We know he has that potential.”

Timmer added 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 9-of-9 at the line. Billy Wampler had 16 points, Ore Argundade scored 15 and Nick McGlynn had 12 points, as the Bulldogs finished with five in double figures offensively.

Drake’s unselfishness offensively caused fits for Loyola’s defense.

“They want to play so much for one another,” said interim coach Jeff Rutter. “If we do that, we can really do some big things.”

Drake had 17 assists as well.

“They are guys who made great plays, sharing the ball so many different guys knocking down shots,” Rutter said. “That’s exciting knowing its not one or two guys.

Teams can look at us say they have 12 bullets, how stop these guys?”

Drake executed from all over the court, whether it was driving to the basket in transition or shooting from downtown.

“If we can continue to push in transition, space the floor, keep sharing and execute, we can do big things offensively,” Rutter said.

For Drake, the win shook some demons from earlier this season.

The Bulldogs had a 15-point sec-

ond half lead at DePaul, but fell.

The memories of the game in Chicago came back against another Chicago team Thursday. Drake led by 20, 89-69, with 4:41 to go.

Loyola forced six Drake turnovers, and the Ramblers used them to go on a 16-0 run and cut the lead to 89-85.

Drake pushed it back to nine, 94-85.

Loyola cut it to four on three occasions in the final 53 seconds but Drake held on.

“I sure did. No pun intended, but maybe there’s still some demons we’re trying to shake off,” Ruter said of the earlier season loss to the Blue Demons. “I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a little nervous.”

Drake went 9-of-10 at the free throw line in the final 2 minutes, DRAKE| 8A

CHEIFS FOOTBALL Smith, Chiefs win AFC West title with win over Chargers SAN DIEGO (AP) — Alex Smith, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs have goals far bigger than simply winning the AFC West.

The Chiefs finished off their domination of the division when they beat the last-place Chargers 37-27 Sunday in possibly the final NFL game in San Diego.

“Right now it’s awesome that we won it and we’re happy that we achieved that goal, but everything is kind of moving forward and we’ve got our eyes set on the biggest prize yet, and that’s getting a Super Bowl win,” said Kelce, the star tight end. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we can go get that thing.”

The Chiefs haven’t been to the Super Bowl since beating Minnesota following the 1969 season.

San Diego fired coach Mike McCoy after the game.

Smith threw for two touchdowns and ran for another for the Chiefs (12-4), who clinched the division with the win and Oakland’s loss at Denver.

Smith, who went to nearby He-

lix High in La Mesa, scored on a 5-yard scramble early in the second quarter to tie the game at 10. He threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to wide-open Charcandrick West later in the quarter to put the Chiefs ahead for good. That followed the first of two interceptions of Philip Rivers that led to 10 points for the Chiefs.

“For us it was such a big swing, to go from potentially playing a road game in the wild card to a bye and hosting a game,” Smith said.

“There was no in-between there.

We took care of our end and got some help from Denver, so it was pretty sweet.

“We saw the score there at the end, and we had our deal sealed up. Pretty awesome, and to win the division is special as well, that’s something that this group hasn’t done.

“It’s crazy to sweep the division,” he said of going 6-0.

Smith was intercepted once, on a deflected pass that Jahleel Addae returned 90 yards for a touchdown to pull the Chargers (5-11) to 20-17 in the third quarter.

Smith came right back and threw a 2-yard scoring pass to West, who again was wide open.

Rookie Tyreek Hill showed some fancy footwork in returning a punt 95 yards for a touchdown in the final minute of the third quarter.

MCCOY FIRED McCoy was 27-37 in four seasons, with the Chargers having lost 23 of their last 32 games. They’ve also lost 13 of their last 14 AFC West games dating to late in the 2014 season. He had one year left on his contract.

THE LA OPTION For the second straight year, the Chargers were playing perhaps their final game in San Diego.

Last year, Chairman Dean Spanos was in the process of trying to move the team to Carson to share a stadium with the rival Raiders. That plan was defeated by fellow NFL owners in January, but Spanos was given the option to move to LA if he couldn’t come up with a way to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium. A Nov. 8 ballot measure asking for $1 billion in

YIR: CONT. FROM | 5A

increased hotel occupancy taxes to help fund a new downtown stadium was overwhelmingly voted down.

Spanos has until Jan. 15 to announce whether he’ll move the team.

The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time” played on the PA during a break in the action after a Chiefs field goal made it 37-20 late in the game.

Smith, for one, hopes that doesn’t happen. He grew up in the San Diego area and played at Qualcomm Stadium in high school championship games and in college when Utah visited San Diego State.

“For me growing up here, I think it’d be tragic if there wasn’t a team here. If there wasn’t football in this town, it would be weird for me.”

GATESY Chargers tight end Antonio Gates tied Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdown catches in NFL history by a tight end with 111.

Gates tied the mark on a 2-yard toss from Rivers early in the sec-

breaker and earn the second District 6 bid, leaving the Eagles out.

Former Creston product Colby Taylor skies to grab a rebound during the Dutch’s game against Grinnell on Nov. 23 in Pella.

Taylor’s had a memorable calendar year 2016.

In the early part of 2016, Taylor helped the Dutch win the Iowa Conference Tournament and advance to the NCAA Division III national tournament.

With the start of the new season in the fall of 2016, Taylor continues to re-write the Dutch men’s basketball record book. He’s the Dutch leader for double-doubles and consecutive free throws made. He’s well on his way to setting the Dutch’s all-time career scoring record, a mark he’s on pace to set sometime early in 2017. The Dutch enter 2017 7-4 and host Luther on Wednesdsay.

Central College senior and Creston native Colby Taylor enjoyed a solid finish to his junior season and strong start to his senior season.

At the end of his junior season, Taylor helped lead Central to the Iowa Conference Tournament championship and berth in the NCAA Division III national tournament. Through 10 games, Taylor is averaging nearly 24 points and just over nine rebounds a game in leading the Dutch to a 7-4 start. Taylor already has the Dutch school record for double-doubles and consecutive free throws made. He’s well within range of the all-time scoring record.

The Chargers tried to get Gates sole possession of the record in the fourth quarter but couldn’t.

“They were not going to let him get that touchdown,” Rivers said.

“I was looking at him every other time, too. We did the best we could.”

Late in the game, Rivers threw a 12-yard TD pass to San Diego’s other tight end, wide-open rookie Hunter Henry.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Sputtering offenses and stingy defenses.

Monday’s Outback Bowl figures to be a low-scoring game, and neither No. 20 Florida nor No. 21 Iowa offer any apologies.

Sure, Jim McElwain and Kirk Ferentz would like to see the Gators (8-4) and Hawkeyes (8-4) light up the scoreboard with a little more regularity, but both coaches appreciate what stout defenses have helped them accomplish during a season in which their offenses struggled.

“If you play defense it gives you a chance. That’s one of the reasons we were able to be successful,” said Ferentz, finishing his 18th season at Iowa. “You look across the field, and that’s certainly what we’re looking at. They’re a team that’s been really good on defense the past two years. They certainly are going to be a big foe for us that way.”

Florida ranks 115th in the nation in total offense, five spots ahead of Iowa. The teams are sixth and 24th in total defense.

McElwain is 18-8 in two

seasons with the Gators.

However, they’ve struggled to score, opening offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier to criticism from fans accustomed to the days Florida compiled impressive numbers under former coaches Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer.

“At a place like the University of Florida, when it’s good, it’s really good, and when it’s maybe not going so good, it seems like maybe the sky’s falling from the outside,” quarterback Austin Appleby said, defending Nussmeier.

“I think a lot of the quarterbacks who played here can attest to that. ... The only things we can control is the way that we come to work every single day. And I know Coach Nussmeier, he grinds like no coach I’ve ever been around,” Appleby said. “He sacrifices more for us and takes away from his family to be in here late, late, late, late (for game-planning). .... When he’s in his groove, there’s no one better. At the end of the day, we’ve got to go out there and execute for him.

It takes all of us. It’s not just

one person.”

Some things to know about the Gators and Hawkeyes: DANIELS, WADLEY AND HISTORY: Running backs LeShun Daniels, Jr. (1,013 yards) and Akrum Wadley (966 yards) have been a terrific pair for the run-focused Hawkeyes, and a decent game out of Wadley would put the duo in Iowa’s record books. With 34 yards against the Gators, Wadley would join Daniels at 1,000 — and no pair of Iowa backs has ever rushed for 1,000 yards in the same season. Wadley might also be counted on as a threat in the passing game for the Hawkeyes, whose receivers have struggled mightily all season.

PINEIRO TRAVELS: Florida place-kicker Eddy Pineiro made the bowl trip and has been cleared to play despite a brief hospital stay during the holiday break. That’s significant for the Gators, who have little depth behind him. Pineiro made 18 of 22 field goals this season, including nine in a row. He is 9 of 11 from 40 yards or longer.

two seconds.

“The DePaul game helped us,” Timmer said. “We’ve had different games where the experience has helped us moving forward.”

Loyola’s press late flustered Drake, giving the Bulldogs something to work on in practice.

“We’ve faced some pressing teams two of the last three games and done fairly well against pressing teams,” Rutter said. “There’s some things we can learn from, grow from.”

What Drake did for the first 36 minutes in building the sizable lead is something

IOWA: CONT. FROM | 5A

“They shot the ball so efficiently,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “Jok and Bohannon, you just can’t let them shoot.”

Tyler Cook had 11 points with eight assists in his first start since November for Iowa, which went 11-of-19 from 3-point range.

BIG PICTURE

the Bulldogs can take plenty from.

“The positive plays certainly outweigh the negatives,” Rutter said. “I’m super proud of our guys the way they prepared. They played with confidence, with aggressiveness, sharing the ball. It was a great team win starting off conference play.”

As the clock hit all zeroes, the only thing that mattered was that the Bulldogs came away with their second consecutive win and a win in the league opener.

For a Bulldogs squad that’s been through so many tough losses early this season, seen turmoil within the program as head coach Ray Giacoletti resigned after the Fresno State game, momen-

tum in the right direction is breathing life into the team and the Knapp Center.

“It’s sky-high,” Rutter said. “It’s great. I’m so happy for these guys. I’m proud of their resiliency. We talk about Mississippi Valley game being a springboard game (a 101-69 Bulldogs win on Dec. 22). This needs be looked at as a springboard game.”

Even though Thursday’s game was a little too close late, the Bulldogs have positive momentum heading into the heart of league play.

“You’re always looking for confidence,” Timmer said.

“We need to turn the corner to get us over the hump.

Against Mississippi Valley, we came together. This one,

we got better. There’s not a better time than this to get going. We can build on this.”

The confidence comes at a good time as the Bulldogs take to the road for two straight in Missouri Valley Conference play. The Bulldogs are at Southern Illinois Sunday and at pre-season league favorite Wichita State on Wednesday.

“We need to be road dog warriors,” Rutter said. “We know winning games on the road in this league is a challenge.

“We’re excited about the challenge.”

Michigan: Losing to a team that likely won’t come anywhere near the NCAA Tournament isn’t the way Michigan wanted to start Big Ten play. The Wolverines blew a small cushion late in the second half, giving a young Iowa team boosted by a surprisingly robust crowd an extra five minutes to steal a win. Zak Irvin had 12 points, six rebounds and six assists, but he was just 5 of 15 from the field. “When they got good looks, they cashed

in on them,” Beilein said of Iowa.

Iowa: The Hawkeyes made mistakes — with four freshman starters, that’s inevitable — but responded nicely following a blowout loss at Purdue. Bohannon’s strong outing was encouraging, given how badly Iowa needs strong point-guard play in the weeks ahead, and Cook gave the Hawkeyes a major boost by playing 31 minutes.

THE NUMBERS

Wilson played a game-high 44 minutes and committed just one turnover. “The kid’s a good player. He’s incredibly versatile to be that big,” McCaffery said. ... The outcome was truly in doubt until the final buzzer, with eight ties and 11 lead changes. ...

Only one player, Michigan’s Moritz Wagner, reached four fouls. Wagner scored 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting. ...

The Wolverines got just five chances from the line, hitting three free throws.
