Iowa State women’s basketball: Addy Brown’s career night lifts Cyclones over Arizona State
Iowa State’s Addy Brown on nearly getting a triple-double at Kansas
Iowa State sophomore Addy Brown nearly tallied a triple-double during Iowa State’s road win at Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As Iowa State sophomore Addy Brown sank the second of her two free throws with 47.8 seconds remaining in Thursday’s game with Arizona State, a big round of applause rang out around the T-Mobile Center.
The buckets were the finishing touches on a memorable night for the Iowa State women’s basketball star.
Brown finished with a career-high 41 points as Iowa State beat Arizona State 96-88 in the second round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
The Cyclones advanced to Friday’s 5:30 p.m. quarterfinal against No. 18 Baylor, and Brown was the primary reason.
The versatile forward broke Iowa State’s single-game record for points in a Big 12 Tournament game, passing Ashley Joens’ mark of 33 set in 2022 against Texas.
Brown came within a point of Iowa State’s single-game mark of 42 points set by Tonya Burns in 1984. She did plenty to help the Cyclones win their third straight game and move on.
It was apparent early on that Brown was on her way to a huge day. Brown connected on five of her first eight shots from the field and had 13 points. She hit back-to-back 3-pointers as part of a 9-0 run that gave Iowa State a 15-11 lead. She was just getting started.
Brown tallied 11 more points in the second quarter and had 24 of Iowa State’s 45 first-half points. The Cyclones, who led by 11 at halftime, got even more from Brown in the second half. She had eight points in a 10-0 run that pushed Iowa State’s lead to 60-40 during the third quarter. The final basket in that run, a layup and made free throw by Brown, gave her a new career-high with 4:43 left.
Brown checked out of the game with 32.2 seconds remaining.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – Republican U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson officially launched her campaign for U.S. Senate at the Radisson Hotel in Cedar Rapids on Sunday.
“In the Senate, I will fight to make America look more like Iowa,” Hinson said. “Here, we know the difference between boys and girls. We know that families deserve to keep more of what they earn, and we know the people, not the government, always come first,” she said.
Right now, Ashley Hinson represents northeast Iowa’s 2nd District in Congress.
She’s running to replace Republican Senator Joni Ernst, who announced earlier this month she would not run for re-election.
“Ashley Hinson gives me hope. Someone that I know fights for me. Someone that has my back. And somebody that will have your back,” the Jones County Sheriff, Greg Graveler said about Hinson.
Hinson told Sunday’s crowd she wants to keep deporting illegal immigrants, cut taxes, and defend farmers in agriculture.
She also addressed Democrats who she said may consider her an extremist.
“If it’s extreme to want parents in charge of our kids’ education, if it’s extreme to want safe borders and safe streets, if it’s extreme to believe that there are only two genders, then they can go ahead and call me whatever they want,” Hinson said.
While Hinson will face plenty of competition for the Senate spot from other Republicans and Democrats, she said she’s confident in her campaign.
“We can only deliver on these critical wins, and make America safer and stronger for a generation to come if we win this seat. Or correction – when we win this seat,” Hinson said.

A pair of lengthy streaks will go up against each other at Kinnick Stadium. Saturday, September 13 marks Week 3 of the college football season. Iowa and UMass are set to do battle at 7:30 p.m. EST.
The Hawkeyes return home with a 1-1 record. Their Week 1 victory over Albany wasn’t close, 34-7 in favor of the Hawkeyes. As for last week, Iowa wasn’t able to get past No. 16 Iowa State. Their three-point loss marked the second season in a row they lost to the Cyclones. Last year, they fell, 20-19. While they’ve only lost by four-combined points in the last two seasons, these are still key losses that don’t sit well with HC Kirk Ferentz.
Ferentz has been with Iowa since 1999. The 70-year-old head coach most recently won the Big Ten West in 2023 with his Hawkeyes finishing the 2024 season 8-4 (6-3). While Big 10 play has yet to begin, the legendary HC has a different streak that he’d love to keep alive.
Omar-Rashon Borja of the Mid-American Conference wrote, “The Hawkeyes have not lost to a MAC school since 2013, when a Jordan Lynch-led NIU Huskies squad scored 10-unanswered points with five minutes remaining to take a 30-27 win at Kinnick Stadium.”
He added that Iowa had also lost to Central Michigan the year prior, 32-31, marking back-to-back MAC losses for the Hawkeyes. Since falling to the Huskies by three-points in 2013, Iowa hasn’t looked back. They remain perfect against a conference that no Big 10 team has any right losing to in the first place.
As for the Minutemen, UMass has a streak of their own that they’ll bring to Kinnick Stadium, “The Minutemen have not defeated an Autonomous/Power conference team or an automatic qualifying team since beating Boston College in 1981,” Borja said.
Borja spoke highly about Iowa, but he knows that anything can happen in college football, “Sure, the conventional wisdom says the Minutemen stand no chance over the reliably consistent Iowa Hawkeyes, but Iowa has been the type of team to let an underdog hang around and stay in the game in the past due in the part to their style of play under long-time head coach Kirk Ferentz.”
Both streaks will go head-to-head in a Saturday night showdown that could see UMass shock the world. Iowa is far from a perfect team, but on paper, they should have no issue getting past 0-2 UMass. Borja predicted a 27-11 Iowa victory, you can find On SI’s score predictions here.
If UMass is able to get their biggest road victory in recent memory, it would snap their 44-year drought. Not only that, but it would snap a 10-year streak for Iowa that the Hawkeyes have no plans on dropping anytime soon.
