Lipscomb’s strong three-point shooting a key factor for Iowa State

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (KCRG) – No. 14 seed Lipscomb will look to pull the upset over No. 3 seed Iowa State by doing what they do best – shoot three’s.

“(They are) obviously a great shooting team. They shoot a great percentage, shoot great free-throw percentage, they move the ball super well, they can space the floor really well,” said junior Tamin Lipsey. “For us, just being on a string on the defensive side, communicating so we know where the shooters are.”

“Shooting with confidence and letting it rip,” said Lipscomb senior Joe Anderson on his team’s hot shooting. “We just go out there and let it rip from the jump, and that’s what we’re gonna try to do, shoot everything with confidence.”

Throughout the year, Lipscomb was at the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference in terms of field goal percentage.

“Just staying between you and your guy, not letting them get an advantage. because when they get an advantage that’s when you get in rotations, and that’s when open shots happen,: said senior Nate Heise. “As long as the guy guarding the ball is able to stay in front of the ball that kind of stops that from happening.”

Lipscomb boasts the ASUN player of the year, senior Jacob Ognacevic.

”I think just stretching the floor is going to be huge,” said Ognacevic. “When we hit the three the floor is going to open up for everyone. and we’re gonna be able to get our offense going and we can start rolling from there.”

The Cyclones will take on Lipscomb on Friday at 12:30 PM. The game is on TNT.

Kee High School remembers legendary coach Gene Schultz

MANCHESTER, Iowa — The state of Iowa lost a titan of the prep coaching world this week. Former Kee High School baseball coach Gene Schultz died on Monday at the age of 80.

Schultz spent 45 seasons as the baseball coach at Kee, helping turn the program into an Iowa dynasty. He won 9 State championships (not counting 2 fall titles, which the IHSAA doesn’t recognize in the record books), and took the Hawks to 19 State tournaments, which is also the most in Iowa history.

His 1,754 wins are not only the most in Iowa history, but the most of any high school baseball coach in the country.

Judge calls state response to comments about Charlie Kirk ‘deeply troubling’

“A licensing authority’s enforcement apparatus should not be mobilized in response to political pressure to suppress disfavored commentary on a public figure’s death — and this record raises serious questions about whether that is precisely what occurred here,” a federal judge wrote.
