Washpun thriving with No. 23 Panthers

CEDAR FALLS - Wes Washpun had to learn that his natural charm, smile and athletic ability would not get him everywhere he wanted to go in life.

He needed discipline and a serious approach to his classes to become a well-rounded person who could accomplish just about anything he wants, including the possibility of pro basketball and grad school.

Now that he's put the whole package together, there's no telling what Washpun might accomplish.

For the time being, he's one of the star players for the 23rd-ranked University of Northern Iowa basketball team as it approaches the Missouri Valley Conference opener at Evansville Thursday.

Northern Iowa Coach Ben Jacobson took a serious look at Washpun when he was playing at Cedar Rapids Washington High School, but Washpun was struggling with his classes at the time and there was no certainty he'd become eligible for Division I basketball. Jacobson did not offer Washpun a scholarship, but got him on the rebound after Washpun spent one unproductive year at Tennessee.

Jacobson said Washpun is a different guy now than he was four or five years ago in some important aspects.

Hawks stun Paige, Tar Heels

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Former Linn-Mar standout Marcus Paige struggled and the Iowa Hawkeyes took advantage, upsetting No. 12 North Carolina, 60-55, on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Paige finished with 13 points, but went 4 for 16 from the floor and just 3 of 12 from behind the arc -- including when he bounced one off the rim in the final seconds. Paige also was called for a charge with 50 seconds remaining.

Mike Gesell hit a driving layup through contact for the go-ahead three-point play with 1:16 left to lift Iowa (6-2).

Gesell led Iowa with 16 points. Adam Woodbury added 11 points and Aaron White had 10. Former Jefferson standout Jarrod Uthoff had eight points and five blocked shots. Ex-Washington guard Josh Ogelsby failed to score.

Kennedy Meeks had 15 points and 12 rebounds for UNC (5-2).
