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. Iowa will look to bounce back on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. CT inside the Casey's Center in Des Moines as the Hawkeyes battle Creighton (2-1). With Iowa suffering its first loss of the season at the hands of Virginia Tech, here are some of the notable reactions from fans and media to the Hawkeyes' performance: This Iowa basketball squad is NOT elite 8 material — Tigers DD (@TigersDD) November 11, 2026 this type of game for iowa men’s basketball is a must win this early in the season absolutely need a non conference W — HawkeyeWillie (@HawkeyeWillie_) November 11, 2026 Let’s make this Iowa basketball game in Sioux City a one

West Des Moines office park could become neighborhood

A sprawling West Des Moines office park that once housed some of the metro's prominent companies could be transformed into apartments, shops and a hotel. Why it matters: Regency West is a mostly vacant, dated office park in a prominent spot next to Interstate 235. Catch up quick: The first Regency West building was constructed in 1981, eventually growing into an eight-building office park along Westown Parkway. The office park, built by Des Moines businessman Marvin Pomerantz, once housed major companies including ITA Group, Equifax, MetLife, Sammons and Holmes Murphy. Over the years, however, tenants have left for newer facilities, while the pandemic also reduced the need for space. R&R Realty purchased the property in 2012 and sold it to Chicago-based Bradford Allen in 2025. State of play: Today, the office park is under 30% capacity with 600,000 square feet of space. Its valuation has dramatically dropped, going from a $52 million assessed valuation in 2023 to just $17 million in 2026. West Des Moines is considering a new tax incentive for the area to help pay for redevelopment costs, says the city's economic development director, Ryan Moffatt. What they're saying: Bradford Allen wants to turn the property into a

WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes

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?

Roland-Story has built one of best Iowa high school football defenses

With five minutes left in its Iowa high school football state quarterfinal game at No. 2 Van Meter, Roland-Story was back on its heels. The Norsemen held a comfortable two-touchdown lead over the Bulldogs, 28-14, but Van Meter was driving. After Roland-Story raced to a 21-0 first-half lead, Van Meter settled in and gradually shifted the game's momentum. Van Meter had the ball on the Roland-Story 8-yard line facing third-and-5 in the final minutes of the game. If the Bulldogs could find the end zone, they would make it a one-score game with plenty of time to get the ball back for a potential tying or go-ahead drive. Bulldog quarterback Keenan Lundy entered the game among the top five rushers in 2A with an average of nearly 150 yards per game, but he had been held under 100 yards by a Roland-Story defense that had locked in on him for most of the night. When he took the snap on the pivotal third-down play, Lundy scrambled to his left and, with Norse defenders bearing down on him, he tried to force a pass to receiver Blake Becker in the end zone. His throw was on line, but Roland-Story defensive back

Des Moines Schools Reach Lawsuit Settlement

The Des Moines Public School District has reached a settlement in a lawsuit against the firm it used to hire former superintendent Ian Roberts. The lawsuit accused JG Consulting of negligence and breach of contract shortly after Roberts was arrested by ICE last year and it was revealed he wasn’t authorized to work in the country. The search firm filed a countersuit, accusing the school district of defamation, but CEO James Guerra says all parties agree that blame belongs with the former superintendent.
