Theresa Boyd+FollowISU’s hot hands light up Des MoinesISU’s Redbirds turned the Knapp Center into a 3-point showcase, draining 13 threes and shooting a season-best 63% from the field to topple Drake 73-56. The second half was all about confidence and rhythm—Wolf and Coleman couldn’t miss from deep, and the defense kept the Bulldogs scrambling. Even with 23 turnovers, ISU’s relentless energy and sharp shooting made the difference. For Des Moines hoops fans, it’s a reminder: when a team gets this hot from outside, anything can happen. What’s your take—unstoppable offense or just a lucky night? #Sports #Basketball #DesMoines00Share
