IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa State spent the last 61 weeks in the Top 25.After getting crushed by Iowa, the Cyclones run as a ranked team is likely finished.Peter Jok scored 23 points and the Hawkeyes upset 25th-ranked Iowa State 78-64 on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing skid against its instate rival.Isaiah Moss had 14 points to help the Hawkeyes (5-5), who start three freshmen, beat a Power Five opponent for this first time this season.I felt like we had the potential to be better than we were playing, said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, whose once-reeling team lost to Nebraska-Omaha 98-89 last weekend. What were able to do is grow and learn.Iowa shot 59 percent in the first half, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range, and jumped ahead by as much as 46-29. The Cyclones (6-3) slowly chipped away at that deficit in the second half, but a 7-0 run by the Hawkeyes after Iowa State got to 60-53 finished them off.We were bad, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. We lost that game in the first half.Matt Thomas scored 14 points to lead the Cyclones, who were just 8 of 30 from 3-point range. Ball movement was again an issue for Iowa State, which had just nine assists on 25 made baskets -- although it did miss about a dozen layups.We have to play a certain way. We have to play with great pace. We have to play with great spacing. We have to play with great ball movement. Thats when were really good, Prohm said.THE BIG PICTUREIowa State: The Cyclones looked awful in the opening 20 minutes -- which they closed quite fittingly with an air ball -- and they couldnt shoot their way out of trouble. Stretches like that are starting to become commonplace for Iowa State, and thats a bad omen with Big 12 play a few weeks away.Iowa: After getting hammered by the likes of Virginia and Notre Dame, the Hawkeyes finally put it together against a good opponent. The Hawkeyes beat Iowa State in transition and on the defensive glass, and their freshman-dominated lineup was hardly fazed in their debuts in this heated rivalry.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Losing to one of just two Power Five teams (Oregon State) with losing records as the 25th-ranked team in America wont look good to most voters -- and thats an understatement.RISING STARMcCaffery looks like he unearthed a gem in freshman Cordell Pemsl, a three-star recruit from nearby Dubuque, Iowa that most folks didnt think could contribute like he has right away. Pemsl is averaging 17 points in his last four games after an 11-point, five-rebound performance Thursday. People have to respect us. We may be young, but we dont use that as an excuse, Pemsl said.THE NUMBERSDeonte Burton, Monte Morris, Naz Mitrou-Long and Nick Weiler-Babb all scored 10 for Iowa State. But only Weiler-Babb made at least half his shots. ...Iowa had 13 assists and turnovers. ...Jok also had a team-high nine rebounds. ...The Cyclones like to run. But they had just four fast-break points.HAWKEYE STATEIowas fans delighted in finally beating their rivals again, chanting Hawkeye State! in the closing seconds. But despite the loss, Iowa State is much more of a potential conference and NCAA Tournament threat than the Hawkeyes, who will undoubtedly continue to have ups and down because theyre so young.UP NEXTIowa State plays Drake in Des Moines on Dec. 17. The Bulldogs are reeling after coach Ray Giacoletti abruptly resigned Tuesday less than four years into his tenure.Iowa also will play in next weekends doubleheader in the state capital, facing Northern Iowa on Saturday.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org Shoes UK From China .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Newly re-signed Adelaide Crows forward Josh Jenkins says his sense of belonging at West Lakes and the lure of getting his name written on his locker were major reasons behind his decision to recommit to the club.Jenkins, 27, on Thursday signed a lucrative five-year deal with Adelaide, ensuring he will remain at West Lakes until at least 2021.That was despite a significant play from Brisbane Lions, and ESPN understands several other clubs also showed strong interest in Jenkins.But the power forward -- who is fourth in the Coleman Medal race with 44 goals, and is also fourth in the AFL for goal assists (18) -- said he never seriously considered a move away from Adelaide.Jenkins said he wanted to be settled in one place after growing up in a foster family in Swan Hill and moving regularly through his early years.The reality is, I didnt want to move, Jenkins told ESPN.Being at the Crows makes me feel loved and wanted. I bounced around a lot as a young kid -- Swan Hill, Townsville, Mackay, Melbourne, Mount Gambier and Adelaide -- thats a lot of moving around for a young guy; I hadnt really been settled in one place before.It was important to me to feel settled, which I have felt since I arrived in Adelaide, but I didnt want to move somewhere else again.Most guys, even in suburban or country footy, if they have a home club, they get to go back there and theyll always know a bunch of people.dddddddddddd Ill now be able to do that here.Id love to one day become a life member [at Adelaide], but at worst, Ill hopefully play 100 games and get my name on my locker and be a part of Adelaides history.That was as important as anything else -- that sense of belonging, especially with my background and where Ive come from.Jenkins was originally drafted by Essendon as a rookie in late 2010 before joining Adelaide during the 2011 trade period.He said the public nature of his contract negotiations had weighed on his mind this year, adding the major emotion he felt in signing the new deal was relief.The high-flying Crows are on the hunt for their ninth straight win when they take on fellow premiership aspirants Geelong at Simonds Stadium on Saturday, with victory to either side set to prove crucial in the race to the finals.Jenkins said he believed Adelaide had a legitimate chance of pushing for a flag this year, and throughout the length of his contract.I feel like Im playing the best footy Ive ever played, and the way the club plays helps me too, he said.Were arguably playing the best footy in the competition at the moment and hopefully this year, and the next four or five, we can really achieve something. Itd be tough to miss out on that. ' ' '
