When the third-ranked Iowa wrestling team travels to Ames for its intrastate skirmish with No. 1 Iowa State this weekend, Mark Perry will not suit up to compete, Iowa Associate Athletics Director Fred Mims confirmed Tuesday evening.
Following a disqualification Perry received at the St. Edward Duals in his bout with Old Dominion wrestler Chris Brown on Nov. 24, the NCAA wrestling committee reviewed the initial call and determined flagrant misconduct had occurred.

Hawkeye men's basketball coach Todd Lickliter won't need his glasses to peer down the Iowa bench when the Hawkeyes take the court tonight at Northern Iowa.
His peripheral vision will be able to see the entire thing.
Already without the injured Tony Freeman and sophomore guard Dan Bohall for tonight's game at Northern Iowa, Lickliter announced Tuesday that a third Hawkeye won't make the trip to Cedar Falls for the matchup at 8:05 p.m.

A two-week break isn't usually the best elixir for a wrestling team looking for as many reps on the mat with quality competition before arguably its biggest match of the season.

For many of its visitors, Hilton Coliseum is considered a house of horrors.
Tonight, the Iowa women's basketball team will get a chance to exorcise those demons when it plays Iowa State in Ames.
Since the two schools resumed playing the in-state rivalry on an annual basis in the 1996-97 season, the Cyclones have won eight of 11 meetings, including the most recent two. In fact, the last time the Hawkeyes left Hilton Coliseum victorious was in 1989, when C. Vivian Stringer was the team's coach.
