AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jonquel Jones scored 23 points, including the go-ahead bucket, and had a school record 26 rebounds to lift No. 24 George Washington past No. 25 Iowa for an 81-77 double-overtime win in the Lone Star Showcase on Friday.
Tied at 73 with 1:28 left in the second overtime period, Jones sank back-to-back baskets to build the margin George Washington (5-1) held the rest of the way. Jones' rebound total broke a school record that had stood since 1976.

Brianna Cummings added 13 points, Hannah Schaible had 12, Caira Washington 11 and Lauren Chase 10.
Coley led Iowa with 22 points and 10 rebounds.
