AMES — The Iowa State Cyclones debut in the Associated Press Top 25 this week at number 20. The Cyclones are 2-0 in the Big-12 after a lopsided win over fifth ranked Kansas and they return to action tonight at Baylor.
That’s Iowa State coach Steve Prohm who believes improved team defense has been a key.
Prohm says the Cyclones have what it takes to be good on defense.
Baylor is 8-5 overall and opened Big-12 play with a loss to TCU.
DES MOINES — Drake coach Darian DeVries says standout guard Nick Norton will undergo knee surgery on Tuesday. Norton suffered a torn ACL in their Missouri Valley opener last week and is lost for the season. DeVries says they will petition in hopes of getting Norton a sixth year.
Norton was a graduate transfer from Alabama-Birmingham.
With Norton out the primary point guard responsibilities will fall on sophomore Noah Thomas.
Drake returns to action on Tuesday night by hosting a Southern Illinois team that is 2-0 in the Valley.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Despite his relative inexperience, Ryan Saunders has widespread respect within Minnesota’s organization as he becomes the Timberwolves interim coach. The 32-year-old is doing the job his late father, Flip Saunders, held longer than anyone else with the franchise. Ryan Saunders is taking over as the interim replacement for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired halfway through his third season with the team.
MONTREAL (AP) — Mikael Granlund scored, Devan Dubnyk stopped 32 shots for his first shutout of the season and the Minnesota Wild defeated the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 Monday night. Montreal lost Shea Weber to injury. The Canadiens’ captain was hit in the face by a puck while blocking a shot six minutes into the first period.
