Iowa City, IA (SportsNetwork.com) - Fresh off a milestone victory, the Iowa Hawkeyes once again open the doors to Carver-Hawkeyes Arena on Friday night to entertain the 14th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa State comes in sporting a 6-1 record, and the team is playing its first true road game of the season tonight. The Cyclones dropped a 72-63 decision to Maryland as part of the CBE Classic in Kansas City on Nov. 25, but have since reeled off three straight wins, the most recent of which being a 73-56 verdict at home against UMKC on Tuesday night. Iowa has claimed victory in eight of its first 10 bouts, and the team has won six in a row following back-to-back defeats against ranked foes Texas and Syracuse on Nov. 20-21, respectively. The Hawkeyes blasted visiting Alcorn State on Tuesday night, 67-44, to post their 400th win at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. They have now won 31 straight non-conference home games, which is the sixth-longest active streak in the country. Iowa leads the all-time series with Iowa State, 43-24, and that includes a 27-6 mark in Iowa City. It was the Cyclones however, who came out on top in last years tussle, 85-82. Bryce Dejean-Jones scored 22 points, Monte Morris tacked on 13, and four others tallied at least eight points as Iowa State routed UMKC earlier this week. The Cyclones shot 46.4 percent from the floor, knocking down seven 3- pointers along the way, while also logging favorable margins in points at the foul line (14-5), scoring in the paint (34-24), points off turnovers (26-15), fast break points (10-2) and rebounding (38-28) Iowa State is averaging a robust 83.6 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .494 overall, .357 from beyond the arc and .755 from the charity stripe. Georges Niang is tops among the five starters averaging in double figures, as he nets 18 ppg. Dejean-Jones is hot on his heels with 17.1 ppg, while Naz Long (11.6 ppg), Dustin Hogue (11.6 ppg) and Morris (10.3 ppg) round out the offensive-minded quintet. In addition, Dejean-Jones (6.9 rpg) and Niang (6.6 rpg) spearhead the teams rebounding effort, while Morris (5.9 apg) serves as its top playmaker. Tuesdays memorable win over Alcorn State marked the second straight game, and the fourth time in the last five outings that Iowa held an opponent below 50 points. The Braves managed just a 32.8 percent success rate on their field goal attempts, and they missed all eight of their 3-point tries. The Hawkeyes werent much better (.421 FG percentage, .158 3-point FG percentage), but they did have four players score in double figures, led by Aaron Whites 15-point effort. In all, 13 guys saw action in the win, and Gabriel Olesani notched a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. White (15.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg) is joined by frontcourt mate Jarrod Uthoff (11.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg) as the only two UI players currently averaging double digits in the scoring column, and both are also among the team leaders in rebounds. Others who do a solid job on the glass include Olesani (6.2 rpg) and Adam Woodbury (5.9 rpg). Despite shooting below 30 percent from long range, the Hawkeyes are putting up 72 ppg, Its the clubs defensive effort though that has it off to such a successful start, as foes are producing just 54.9 ppg in hitting a mere 33.7 percent of their total shots, which includes a 25.7 percent showing out on the perimeter.

HABS HEADED TO CONFERENCE FINAL The Montreal Canadiens scored early in Game Seven, built a lead and protected it well on their way to a 3-1 series-clinching win over the Boston Bruins. While this game or series isnt necessarily a referendum on the value of fourth lines, the Canadiens certainly benefitted from production lower down their forward depth chart.The New Orleans Saints arent kidding themselves about their current situation. Sure, theyre right at the top of the NFC South and involved in a jumbled race for what almost assuredly will be the divisions lone playoff berth. But that 4-6 record? Thats a different story. We cant escape the reality of where we are right now, quarterback Drew Brees said. You are what your record says you are. Were a 4-6 team right now. None of us feel that because were still in contention that thats good enough. We still have a lot of work to do. New Orleans hasnt lost three straight home games since a six-game slide in 2005, but that would change if they cant bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens tonight. You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3 and TSN GO at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. The Saints lost 27-24 in overtime to San Francisco on Nov. 9 before last weeks 27-10 defeat to Cincinnati, a contest during which they appeared flat, according to coach Sean Payton. New Orleans has lost by three points or fewer four times but certainly doesnt care about moral victories. Each team in the division is below .500, with Atlanta owning an identical 4-6 record but having won the teams first meeting. If they can turn around their season, the Saints could wind up with a home playoff game despite the current struggles. There have been a number of tough losses, close losses, and what that means is at this point in the season, that margin for error becomes that much more slight, Payton said. Were playing a six-game season right now. The emphasis will shift very quickly to Baltimore and our preparations. We have to find a way to get a win this week. New Orleans will have to do that without two starters, though. Rookie receiver Brandin Cooks had surgery to repair a broken right thumb, and safety Rafael Bush is out with a broken leg. Both were placed on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday. We have to be physically and mentally prepared for whats obviously a very important game against Baltimore, Payton said. The Ravens (6-4) are involved in a tight division race of their own, as each team in the AFC North has at least six victories. They ended a two-game skid with a 21-7 win over Tenneessee on Nov.dddddddddddd 9 and have gotten a nice late-season rest due to last weeks bye. Players took some time off and kind of emotionally and physically recharged a little bit, coach John Harbaugh said. You dont realize how exhausted you are until you get a chance to take a deep breath and relax. Harbaugh emphasized, though, that Baltimore has to quickly get back into game mode to be prepared for a hungry New Orleans team. Were going to have a tough environment, Harbaugh said. Theyre coming off two losses, theyre a very proud team, very well coached, very talented. Great quarterback, aggressive defense. Were going to have our hands full and wed better be ready to go. Id like to think our guys understand that, but well find out Monday night. Justin Forsett had another solid effort against the Titans, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Hes averaging 5.4 yards per rush, tops among all running backs. Forsett could be in for another big day against the Saints, who are allowing 4.8 per carry and 146.3 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. New Orleans has struggled against the pass virtually all season, ranking 24th at 255.2 yards per contest, and is tied for the fifth-fewest takeaways (10) - factors that could bode well for a slumping Joe Flacco. Flacco threw 12 touchdowns and three interceptions through the first six games, but hes thrown five of each over the last four. The Ravens arent much better against the pass, allowing an average of 251.2 yards (21st), and have an equally low number of interceptions as the Saints (six). Brees leads the league with a 69.5 completion percentage after connecting on at least 80 percent for the second time last week, finishing 33 of 41 for 255 yards and a score without an INT. Hes one TD pass shy of his 11th straight season with at least 20. We know what were up against, said cornerback Danny Gorrer, who had an interception against the Titans. ... Were getting ready to face a Hall of Fame quarterback, and weve got to rise up to the occasion. Baltimore has won four of five all-time meetings, most recently overcoming three TD passes from Brees in a 30-24 victory in 2010. ' ' '
