Iowa beats Minnesota 86-77 to make Fran McCaffery the winningest coach in program history
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ben Krikke scored 25 points, Josh Dix, who got the start in place of an injured Patrick McCaffery, added 21 points and Iowa beat Minnesota 86-77 on Monday night to make Fran McCaffery the winningest coach in program history.
Fran McCaffery, who is in his 28th season as a head coach and 14th at Iowa, won his 272nd game as a Hawkeye, passing Dr. Tom Davis (1986-99) for the most victories in program history. On Jan. 6, McCaffery won his 127th career Big Ten game to move past Davis for the most league victories.
Dix scored eight straight Iowa points, capped by a pullup jumper with 7:07 left for a 67-56 lead. Minnesota got as close as five points from there, but Owen Freeman’s dunk and subsequent free throw pushed Iowa’s advantage to 78-67 with 1:27 remaining.
Tony Perkins added 13 points and Freeman had 12 points and eight rebounds for Iowa (11-6, 3-3 Big Ten). McCaffery did not play due to an ankle injury.
Dawson Garcia scored 30 points for Minnesota (12-5, 3-3). Joshua Ola-Joseph added 15 points and Cam Christie scored 12.
Iowa won its third straight game in Minneapolis for the first time since 1954-56.
Former Iowa star Luka Garza, the national player of the year in 2021, sat behind the Hawkeye bench. Garza, now a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is the school’s men’s leader in scoring at 2,306 points. Caitlin Clark became Iowa’s all-time career scoring leader on Sunday with 2,813 points.
Iowa returns home to play No. 2 Purdue on Saturday. Minnesota goes on the road to play Michigan State on Thursday.

1 injured in Minneapolis shooting; 3 arrested on unrelated charges
The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating after a man was shot Sunday morning.
According to police, officers were called to the 3000 block of 17th Avenue South around 5:50 a.m., where a shooting had reportedly taken place.
When they arrived, officers located an injured man, who was taken to the hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
After speaking with the man, police said he had no idea where the shooting had occurred and did not know who had shot at him.
While checking the area of 17th Avenue South, the Minneapolis Police said some officers checked a garage they were “familiar” with and “cleared it” of six adults who were staying there.

MSP Airport food service workers reach tentative deal, avert Thanksgiving week strike
More than 200 food service workers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport say they’ve reached a tentative agreement with their employer, averting a strike.
The food service workers, represented by UNITE HERE Local 17, said their contract with HMSHost had expired last December. Both parties had been negotiating for a new one for 11 months.
On Monday, workers said they would go on strike three days before Thanksgiving if they didn’t reach a deal. A no-strike clause with HMSHost had expired in May.
Friday, the union announced that they had reached a tentative agreement with HMSHost, calling it “historic.”
The agreement includes the highest wage increases they’ve seen at the airport, according to the union. Workers were also fighting for lower health insurance costs and better paid time off wages for workers who receive tips.
AAA said about 6.1 million Americans are planning to fly during the week of Thanksgiving, which is 2% more than last year.
WCCO has reached out to HMSHost for comment.
