Today at the Girls 3A State Golf Tournament at The River Valley Golf Course in Adel, the average score on hole 18 was a quadruple bogey. No, the golfers weren't bad, but this had to have been the most unfair pin placement I've ever seen. This slope gave the athletes no chance.

My notes from No. 14 Iowa State's 70-65 win over Texas. Tamin Lipsey was the best guard on the floor down the strech. T.J. Otzelberger said postgame that he challenged Lipsey to be better. His response? A clutch three to end a 3:20 stretch with no FGs and an assist to Tre King
