Hawkeyes hold off Penn State

By The Associated PressRyan M. Jaster,

2025-01-25

Owen Freeman and Drew Thelwell each scored 16 points and Iowa held off a late Penn State comeback to earn a 76-75 win on Friday night.

The Hawkeyes (13-7, 4-5 Big Ten) took the lead for good on Payton Sandfort’s 3-pointer with 13:36 left in the first half gave them a 16-14 lead and they led by double digits, 68-58 with just over seven minutes to play. But Iowa did not score after Payton Sandfort’s jumper with 3:28 left gave the Hawkeyes an eight-point lead, 76-68.

Yanic Konan Niederhauser dunked and, after Nick Kern Jr. hit the first of two free throws, hit from the outside and knocked down two free throws with :53 left to get the Nittany Lions within one. Penn State had possession and missed two three-point attempts in the final seconds, and after Thelwell missed the front end of a one-and-one with three seconds left, could not get off a shot at the buzzer.

Freeman was 5 of 9 from the floor and 6 of 8 from the line and finished with nine rebounds. Thelwell, a graduate transfer from Morehead State, topped 1,000 career points by hitting 6 of 10 from the field, including 3 of 5 from long range while grabbing five rebounds and dishing four assists with two steals. Josh Dix added 11 points and Payton Sandfort finished with 10.

Nick Kern Jr. led Penn State (13-7, 3-6) with 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Niederhauser added 13 points and Freddie Dilione V contributed 10 points.

The win snapped Iowa’s three-game losing streak and was the only meeting of the season between the teams.

Iowa travels to face Ohio State Monday. Penn State plays at No. 21 Michigan Monday.

7 Howard Johnson's Dishes Families Ordered Under the Orange Roof

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The orange roof was visible from a long way down the turnpike, which was most of the point of it, and by the early 1960s there were something like six hundred of them standing between one American city and the next. A family driving from Ohio to the coast could stop at four different Howard Johnson's in four different states and order the same plate of fried clams at each one, cooked the same way, which in an era before national fast food was a genuinely strange and reassuring thing.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

Mississippi Mud Potatoes Are the Side Dish Everyone Devours

Mississippi Mud Potatoes coat tender diced potatoes in a creamy mixture of cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream. As the casserole bakes, the sauce melts around every potato and the top develops bubbling, golden patches. Bacon can bring smoky crunch, while onions or green onions add savory freshness. The finished dish is rich, cheesy, and substantial enough to challenge the main course for attention.

7 Steel-Town and Coal-Camp Suppers From Industrial America

The men who worked Pittsburgh's blast furnaces or dug anthracite coal in Schuylkill County came home hollowed out and black-handed. Dinner had to be on the table and it had to be enough. The women who cooked it worked with what cost almost nothing: dried beans, salt pork, cabbage, cheap cuts of pork shoulder, whatever the garden gave up late in the season.

7 Christmas Eve Dishes Different American Families Swore By

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. On December 24th, the question was never what to cook for Christmas Eve supper. It was already decided, usually before anyone in the house was born. In Texas, that meant tamales. In Minnesota, lutefisk. In New Mexico, a pot of posole that had gone on the stove that morning. Each family treated the meal as settled law, and each was absolutely certain their version was the correct one.

7 Snow-Day Suppers Families Made After Sledding in the 1960s and 70s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. School was called off, the hill behind the elementary school was packed three sleds deep by ten in the morning, and by late afternoon the back door was letting in wet mittens and a cold that had worked all the way through a jacket. The kitchen was the payoff. Something bubbling on the stove, the windows steamed over, a smell that reached the entryway before anyone got their boots off.

7 Immigrant Comfort Dishes American Grandkids Called 'Regular Food'

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Every dish on this list arrived in America inside someone's memory. Not a written recipe, just the way a mother learned it from her mother, carried across an ocean and rebuilt in a Chicago three-flat or a South Florida kitchen or a New Jersey row house where something was always on the stove. By the time the grandkids sat down to eat, nobody at the table called it Hungarian or Greek or Czech. It was just dinner.

7 After-Funeral Dishes Neighbors Brought Without Being Asked

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When somebody in a neighborhood loses a person they love, the food shows up fast. Not ordered food, not catered food - someone's own pan, still warm from their own oven, left on the porch or handed through the screen door with barely a word. It happens before the family has thought about eating. It happens before anyone has had to ask. In churches, in small towns, in apartment buildings where people know each other well enough to notice when a hearse was parked outside, this is how the community speaks.

7 Rural Southern Church-Supper Dishes Still Worth Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. A Midwestern potluck and a rural Southern church supper look similar from a distance: long folding tables, covered dishes, somebody's mother's dessert at the end of the line. Get closer and the resemblance fades fast. In much of the rural South, food was organized by type and the dessert table stood apart, treated almost as its own room. Brunswick Stew came in a cast iron pot the size of a washtub, tended by men who had been at the fire since before the service started. Cornbread baked in the church kitchen and got cut into squares before it hit the table. Banana Pudding traveled layered in a glass bowl, not a pan, because presentation on that table was its own kind of statement.
