Fans, media react to Iowa basketball's overtime loss vs. Virginia Tech

While Iowa basketball (2-1) had chances to grab a key nonconference win over Virginia Tech (3-0) on Tuesday night inside the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, the Hawkeyes ' shooting struggles from the floor and the free-throw line in regulation and overtime ultimately led to a 93-88 loss. Despite Cooper Koch netting a career-high 26 points on 5 for 11 shooting from the floor and 15 of 17 at the charity stripe and Isaia Howard's 13-point and 15-rebound double-double, Iowa's 16 missed free throws proved costly.

Korean fried chicken chain bb.q Chicken coming to Des Moines

The Des Moines metro's Korean fried chicken scene is still young enough that many diners can trace its growth in real time. A few years ago, finding Korean-style fried chicken often meant tracking down a pop-up or ordering from a ghost kitchen. Now one of South Korea's biggest fried chicken brands is preparing to join the local lineup. The globally recognized Korean fried chicken chain, bb.q Chicken , whose name stands for "Best of the Best Quality," is slated to open in the Goldfinch Lofts development at 3404 Ingersoll Ave. in 2027, bringing one of the world's most influential Korean fried chicken concepts to Des Moines, according to a permit filed with the city. Goldfinch Lofts, Cutler Developments’ newest mass timber mixed-use project, is a three-story, carbon-neutral building with apartments above and 9,602 square feet of retail at the base. The Collective, the sustainable retail shop , plans to open on the ground floor in November, leaving its Highland Park space. For local fried-chicken fanatics, it's more than another restaurant opening. It's the latest sign that Korean fried chicken has moved from niche cuisine to one of the fastest-growing dining segments in the Des Moines metro. What is bb.q Chicken?
