 Great Bend Post

Just 24 11-man football teams around Kansas are still active
for week 12 of the season. Two of those teams come from Barton County. And two
more come from Salina County. The two counties will clash in a pair of state
semifinal contests as Great Bend (11-0) takes on Salina Central (10-1) in Class
5A. In Class 3A, perennial powers Southeast of Salina (11-0) and Hoisington (10-0)
meet in a battle of unbeatens.

Class 5A
 Salina Central at Great Bend

Top-ranked Great Bend has dominated teams throughout the
season, including a 43-19 regular-season win against Hays, and another 29-22
win against the top-five Indians in the state quarterfinals. The Panthers also
have wins over 4A powers McPherson and Buhler, and defeated previously unbeaten
Liberal 55-6 in week five of the regular season.

The once-powerful Salina Central has returned to prestige
under head coach Mark Sandbo. The Mustangs have just one loss to Andover in 2025,
with eight wins this season coming by 29 or more points.

The Panthers have several weapons offensively. Senior
quarterback Daxton Minton already has the school record for career touchdowns.
He enters Friday’s game with 1,660 yards, 26 touchdowns, and three interceptions
on 106-of-156 (68 percent) passing. Minton also sits at 843 rushing yards and
10 touchdowns on just 79 carries.

Senior Ian Premer leads the Panther receivers with 719 yards
and 14 touchdowns on 37 receptions. The Notre Dame-commit has another 543
rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 46 carries. Senior Conner Holladay has added
725 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 86 carries. Junior Cooper Ohnmacht has
caught 47 passes for 609 yards and six scores.

Defensively, senior Trent Kern and junior Kale Kern continue
to stand out at linebacker. Kale leads the 2025 squad with 120 tackles,
followed by Trent with 110. Senior Jacob Hall has 52 tackles on the season.

Ohnmacht has scored a variety of ways with two interception
returns for scores and a punt and kick return for touchdowns. Premer and junior
Luke Wondra have combined for three pick-sixes. Freshman kicker Giovanni Cruz
has booted through 37 of 40 PAT tries this season.

Salina Central has a 2-headed monster of its own. Junior
quarterback Griffin Hall has thrown for 1,604 yards, 26 touchdowns, and just
two interceptions on 121-of-179 passing (68 percent). He’s rushed for another
826 yards and eight scores on 114 carries. Senior Cooper Reves leads the
Mustang ground attack with 2,410 yards and 26 touchdowns on 242 carries. No Central
receiver has more than 400 yards this season, but three have at least 370 yards
and a combined 21 touchdowns.

Class 3A
 Hoisington at SE of Saline (Gypsum)A weather-cancelled game against Scott City may be the lone
difference in Hoisington’s win total against top-ranked Southeast of Saline. The
Cardinals have handled top opponents all season with a 34-8 win over Pratt, a 39-23
win against Hesston, and a 36-7 win over Garden Plain last Friday. The Trojans
have yet to play a close game with the closest 36-point margin coming in a 52-16
win against Hillsboro in early October.Senior Mason Martin heads the Cardinal offense under center,
with senior running back Taylen Morales picking up serious yardage behind him,
including a 253-yard playoff performance against Halstead. He rushed for 174
yards and three scores a week later against Hillsboro. Through 11 games,
Morales leads the Cards with 1,390 yards and 21 touchdowns on 154 carries. CJ
Bryant has added 626 yards and 10 scores on 56 touches, and senior Brody
Pfannenstiel has 326 yards and six touchdowns on just 27 carries.

Martin has completed 63 of 114 pass attempts for 1,279 yards
and 23 touchdowns to just three interceptions. Pfannenstiel has been the favorite
target with 430 yards and six scores on just 16 receptions. Senior Carson Mason
has caught 14 balls for 339 yards and six touchdowns, and Morales has 13
receptions for 141 yards and a score.

Junior Corbyn Holinde leads the Cardinal offense with 58
tackles, followed junior Brody Corbett with 48, and Pfannenstiel with 47. Juniors
Logan Cossel and Kolter Hahn each have two interceptions. 

Southeast of Saline is led offensively by senior running
back Grady Gebhardt, who enters Friday night with 1,779 yards and 32 touchdowns
on 158 carries. Senior Gannon Jacobson was doing big things at quarterback with
1,028 passing yards and 15 touchdowns before going down with an injury in week
six of the season. Junior Tiernan Ptacek has filled the gap nicely, throwing
for 943 yards and 11 touchdowns with two interceptions on 57-of-85 passing. 

Gebhardt also leads the Trojan receiving corps with 587
yards and 10 touchdowns on 26 receptions. Five other SES receivers have at
least 200 yards with a combined 14 touchdowns. 

Defensively, the Trojans have four seniors with at least 60
tackles, including Gebhardt’s 62, and a team-high 67 from Killian Vaughan and Brody
Chambers. The Trojans have recorded 20 sacks this season. Senior Malachi
Hopkins leads the secondary with four interceptions, followed by two from Ptracek.

Tuesday on Sports Day(Watch)

The Barton Community College wrestling team wrapped up its two-day stay in Richfield, Utah, competing Friday at the Cornerman Luke Memorial Duals and Saturday at the Cornerman Luke Memorial Open, posting a 1-2 dual mark and earning three individual placers while combining for 27 match victories across the weekend.

Day 1 – Cornerman Luke Memorial DualsThe Cougars opened the weekend trip with three duals on Friday, finishing 1-2 against a field highlighted by No. 2 Western Wyoming Community College, Colorado Northwestern Community College, and Trinidad State College.

Barton's standout effort came at 149-pounds, where&nbsp;Brennen Pfannenstiel&nbsp;produced a perfect 3-0 day and delivered one of the meet's biggest upsets with a fall over No. 1 Thommy Dalton of Western Wyoming in 3:50.

Additional multiple-match winners included&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bartonsports.com/sports/wrest/2025-26/bios/hill_s-ron_9d3d">S'Ron Hill</a>&nbsp;(184) and&nbsp;Brody Schnoebelen&nbsp;(197), who each finished the day 2-1.

Pfannenstiel's upset of No. 1 highlights trio of top 4 Finishes at Weekend Duels in Utah

A pair of first-half goals proved decisive Monday evening as the 5th-seeded Barton Community College men's soccer team opened Pool D play with a 2–1 victory over 9th-seeded Blinn College at the NJCAA Division I National Tournament in Daytona, Florida.

Improving to 17-4-2 on the year, the win sets up a pivotal Tuesday 4:00 p.m. (CT) clash with host and 4th-seeded Daytona State College for a berth in Thursday's national semifinals. The Falcons, idle on Sunday, defeated Blinn by the same score on Sunday to enter the matchup at 13-2-2.

Just a tick less than four minutes into the contest,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bartonsports.com/sports/msoc/2025-26/bios/gimenez_diogo">Diogo Gimenez</a>&nbsp;found some space following&nbsp;Lucas Meibom's pass and unleashed a 25' laser to far post for his 5th&nbsp;marker of the season.

Barton received some much-needed cushion with just under ten minutes left in the opening stanza, as&nbsp;Sho Kinjo's rise-n-shine header put away&nbsp;Rafael Calmon's corner kick for his second net rattler of the season.&nbsp; Calmon's fifth assist moved into a four-way tie for the team lead team lead with Meibom.

Blinn halved the deficit early in the second half on a corner-kick sequence of its own, Jordan Franco redirecting Jesus Gonzalez's service to the back post, setting up a tense final 40 minutes.

The Cougars led the final stat 10-4 on shots, 7-2 in second half action with four on frame despite not finding the net.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gabriel Bergamin, anchoring a solid defensive line only allowing the goal with no other shots on frame, picked up the victory in net improving to 9-2-0 on the year.

Monday on Sports Day(Watch)

DENVER (AP) — Wil Lutz lined up for a 35-yard field goal to beat the Chiefs on Sunday and couldn't help but think back to last year at Kansas City, when&nbsp;his kick was blocked&nbsp;as time expired in the same situation.

“I was kind of like, shoot, here we are," said Lutz, who nailed the game-winner this time, his fifth field goal of the day, pushing the Denver Broncos past the Chiefs 22-19 for their eighth straight victory. “I've been waiting for a game like that.”

Broncos coach Sean Payton said last November's&nbsp;16-14 heartbreaker at Arrowhead Stadium&nbsp;galvanized his team, which went on a 5-2 run to reach the playoffs, and Lutz concurred: “If you look back at the last year-and-a-half since that game, this team has come together and found ways to win close games.”

The Broncos (9-2) all but buried the Chiefs (5-5) in the AFC West, which Kansas City has won every year since 2016. Chiefs coach Andy Reid fell to 27-5 following a bye week, counting the playoffs and his time with Philadelphia.

“We've just got a resilient team that believes we're going to win, and at the end of the game when it's close, that belief goes a long way,” QB Bo Nix said after the Broncos improved to 7-2 in one-score games this season.

Nix set up the game-winning kick with a 32-yard strike to Troy Franklin that got Denver to the Kansas City 15 with under a minute remaining.

Patrick Mahomes gave Kansas City its only lead on a&nbsp;21-yard touchdown toss to Travis Kelce&nbsp;— the veteran tight end's 84th career TD, one more than previous Chiefs franchise record-holder Priest Holmes. That put the Chiefs up 19-16, but Harrison Butker's extra point was blocked by Frank Crum.

The Broncos tied it at 19-all on Lutz's 54-yarder with 4:10 remaining.

Denver's defense forced Kansas City to go three-and-out when Ja'Quan McMillian sacked Mahomes on third-and-10 from the Chiefs 36. That was the second sack by McMillian, who also had six tackles, including two for loss, two quarterback hits, a pass breakup and an interception.

The Broncos chewed up the final 2:59 by driving 58 yards in 10 plays. They won their 11th straight game at Empower Field, where they haven't lost since October 2024, and they beat KC here for the third consecutive time.

Kelce's TD followed a 46-yard pass-interference flag at the Denver 29 on cornerback Riley Moss on an underthrown pass from Mahomes to Hollywood Brown. That came on third-and-19. Moss said afterward he's going to wear boxing gloves at practice to break what's become his bad habit of grabbing defenders on deep throws.

The Broncos' eight-game winning streak is their longest since 2012, when Peyton Manning led Denver to 11 consecutive victories. As a result, the Chiefs' nine-year reign atop the AFC West is in jeopardy.

Jaleel McLaughlin, playing in place of injured starter J.K. Dobbins, who underwent season-ending foot surgery last week, bullied his way in from 4 yards out to break a 6-6 tie in the third quarter.

The Chiefs seized the momentum, however, when Mahomes found Tyquan Thornton for a 61-yard gain to the Denver 11. That set up Kareem Hunt's 2-yard run that tied it at 13. That was KC's first touchdown at Empower Field in 11 quarters.

A year after going 12-0 in one-score games, including the playoffs, the Chiefs are 0-5 in such situations this season.

“It sucks,” Mahomes said. “Don’t get me wrong. You got to feel that, but you got to be able to kind of use that energy to push it into the next week, into the rest of the season, and all you can focus on is the next game. You get another opportunity to go out there and prove yourself.

“We’ve been losing these close games recently, but we’ve played some good football in spurts,” Mahomes said. “It’s just about being more consistent, and until we go out there and do it, all you can do is just keep saying, keep practicing and getting better and better and push yourself to go out there and do it on game day.”

The Chiefs have won the division every year since 2016 but have their work cut out just to make the playoffs now, and the Los Angeles Chargers fell two games behind Denver, which hasn't won the division since 2015, thanks to their&nbsp;35-6 loss at Jacksonville&nbsp;on Sunday.

“I just think about us,” Broncos edge rusher Jonathon Cooper said. “We're 9-2 going into the bye, get a chance to rest our bodies, get some people back, get some health going and just keep this momentum going into the playoffs.”

Chiefs: LG Kingsley Suamataia sustained a concussion.

Broncos: Rookie WR Pat Bryant was evaluated for a concussion after his 48-yard catch with 26 seconds left in the third quarter but returned. ... The Broncos were without CB Pat Surtain II (pectoral), ILB Alex Singleton (testicular cancer) and Dobbins (left foot).

Chiefs: Visit the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday.

Broncos: After a bye, visit the Washington Commanders on Nov. 30.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid fell to 27-5 following a bye week, counting the playoffs and his time with Philadelphia.“We've just got a resilient team that believes we're going to win, and at the end of the game when it's close, that belief goes a long way,” QB Bo Nix said after the Broncos improved to 7-2 in one-score games this season.Nix set up the game-winning kick with a 32-yard strike to Troy Franklin that got Denver to the Kansas City 15 with under a minute remaining.Patrick Mahomes gave Kansas City its only lead on a&nbsp;21-yard touchdown toss to Travis Kelce&nbsp;— the veteran tight end's 84th career TD, one more than previous Chiefs franchise record-holder Priest Holmes. That put the Chiefs up 19-16, but Harrison Butker's extra point was blocked by Frank Crum.The Broncos tied it at 19-all on Lutz's 54-yarder with 4:10 remaining.Denver's defense forced Kansas City to go three-and-out when Ja'Quan McMillian sacked Mahomes on third-and-10 from the Chiefs 36. That was the second sack by McMillian, who also had six tackles, including two for loss, two quarterback hits, a pass breakup and an interception.“Game ball,” Payton said.The Broncos chewed up the final 2:59 by driving 58 yards in 10 plays. They won their 11th straight game at Empower Field, where they haven't lost since October 2024, and they beat KC here for the third consecutive time.Kelce's TD followed a 46-yard pass-interference flag at the Denver 29 on cornerback Riley Moss on an underthrown pass from Mahomes to Hollywood Brown. That came on third-and-19. Moss said afterward he's going to wear boxing gloves at practice to break what's become his bad habit of grabbing defenders on deep throws.The Broncos' eight-game winning streak is their longest since 2012, when Peyton Manning led Denver to 11 consecutive victories. As a result, the Chiefs' nine-year reign atop the AFC West is in jeopardy.Jaleel McLaughlin, playing in place of injured starter J.K. Dobbins, who underwent season-ending foot surgery last week, bullied his way in from 4 yards out to break a 6-6 tie in the third quarter.The Chiefs seized the momentum, however, when Mahomes found Tyquan Thornton for a 61-yard gain to the Denver 11. That set up Kareem Hunt's 2-yard run that tied it at 13. That was KC's first touchdown at Empower Field in 11 quarters.<h2>Tables turned</h2>A year after going 12-0 in one-score games, including the playoffs, the Chiefs are 0-5 in such situations this season.“It sucks,” Mahomes said. “Don’t get me wrong. You got to feel that, but you got to be able to kind of use that energy to push it into the next week, into the rest of the season, and all you can focus on is the next game. You get another opportunity to go out there and prove yourself.“We’ve been losing these close games recently, but we’ve played some good football in spurts,” Mahomes said. “It’s just about being more consistent, and until we go out there and do it, all you can do is just keep saying, keep practicing and getting better and better and push yourself to go out there and do it on game day.”<h2>Dethroning KC?</h2>The Chiefs have won the division every year since 2016 but have their work cut out just to make the playoffs now, and the Los Angeles Chargers fell two games behind Denver, which hasn't won the division since 2015, thanks to their&nbsp;35-6 loss at Jacksonville&nbsp;on Sunday.“I just think about us,” Broncos edge rusher Jonathon Cooper said. “We're 9-2 going into the bye, get a chance to rest our bodies, get some people back, get some health going and just keep this momentum going into the playoffs.”<h2>Injuries</h2>Chiefs: LG Kingsley Suamataia sustained a concussion.Broncos: Rookie WR Pat Bryant was evaluated for a concussion after his 48-yard catch with 26 seconds left in the third quarter but returned. ... The Broncos were without CB Pat Surtain II (pectoral), ILB Alex Singleton (testicular cancer) and Dobbins (left foot).<h2>Up next</h2>Chiefs: Visit the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday.Broncos: After a bye, visit the Washington Commanders on Nov. 30.

Broncos beat Chiefs 22-19 on Lutz's last-second field goal, extending win streak to 8 games

The No. 17 Barton Community College men's basketball team wrapped up its annual Best Western Angus Inn/Cougar Booster Club Classic with a 65-60 victory over national receiving votes Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa Saturday evening at the Fleske Fieldhouse.

Capping a perfect weekend, the Cougars conclude non-conference play at 5-1 on the season while the Mavericks drop to 4-2 overall. Barton will now set its sights on Jayhawk Conference action, kicking off the rugged 24-game slate Wednesday evening hosting Dodge City Community College in a 7:30 p.m. tip-off before hitting the road Saturday at Cloud County Community College.

Falling into a 9-0 hole to open the contest, the Cougars steadied themselves behind a strong lift from the bench, outscoring Tonkawa 32-20 the remainder of the half to take a 32-29 advantage into the break.

The second half saw Barton push the margin to as large as seven on two occasions, but the Mavericks stayed within two-possessions for the majority of the second half.

Tied 58 with under three minutes to play, Barton responded behind back-to-back finishes from&nbsp;Pavel Ivanov&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mikey Williams&nbsp;to build a four-point cushion. Tonkawa drew within two at the line moments later, but&nbsp;Noah Williams&nbsp;converted two at the charity stripe with 21 seconds left, and&nbsp;Sebastian Muchitsch's 1-of-2 trip in the waning seconds capped the pivotal 7-2 stretch.

Barton's advantage came on the glass, dominating the rebounding margin 46-28 including 18 offensive boards that led to 18 second chance points. The Cougar bench also provided a critical boost, outscoring the Mavericks 30-6.

Four Cougars reached double-figure scoring, led by&nbsp;Aris Rodriguez's 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting. N. Williams and Muchitsch followed with 11 points each, with Williams adding a game-high eight rebounds and two steals while Muchitsch contributed seven boards. Ivanov rounded out the performances with 10 points and five rebounds off the bench.

The Mavericks shot just 36.7% from the field and finished with three players in dobuel figures, paced by MJ Miller's 16 points. Caison Cole chipped in 13, while Ebi Bortey added 12 in the loss.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts scored the only touchdown for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 16-9 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The Eagles are the only team in the NFC East with more than three wins and the second one in the conference to eight wins. Their 8-2 record puts them in contention to take the top seed and earn home-field advantage as the Super Bowl champions go for a repeat. The Lions failed to convert on five fourth-down attempts and were 3 of 13 on third down. Jake Elliott kicked three field goals for the Eagles.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Shedeur Sanders finally got the opportunity to show what he could do as an NFL quarterback. In one half of action, the Cleveland Browns rookie showed he still faces a steep learning curve. The son of Deion Sanders entered with 12:43 remaining in the third quarter against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday after Cleveland announced that Dillon Gabriel was being evaluated for a concussion. Gabriel was ruled out later in the quarter. Sanders completed his first two passes, but not much went right after that. He went 4 for 16 for 47 yards with an interception and was sacked twice, finishing with a 13.5 passer rating as the Ravens rallied for a 23-16 victory.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers is dealing with an injury to his left wrist that forced the four-time MVP to miss the second half of the Steelers' 34-12 win over Cincinnati. The 41-year-old Rodgers appeared to injure the wrist on his non-throwing hand during a long scoring drive in the second half. Coach Mike Tomlin says Rodgers will undergo further testing. It's unknown whether Rodgers will be available when AFC North-leading Pittsburgh visits Chicago next week. Mason Rudolph filled in capably in Rodgers' absence, throwing for 127 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers improved to 6-4.

If you’re an older swimmer or returning to the pool after years away, few are more qualified than Rowdy Gaines to guide your workouts. Gaines is a three-time Olympic champion, winning his gold medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. And he is widely known as the “voice of swimming” for his coverage of the Olympics with American network NBC. Swimming is an all-around exercise with water providing mild resistance. It’s low-impact, offers a complete workout and is suitable for all ages. Gaines is 66 and can attest to that.

SEATTLE (AP) — First baseman Josh Naylor and the Seattle Mariners are finalizing a five-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the contract. ESPN was the first to report the deal. Naylor became a free agent for the first time shortly after Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. In 54 games with the Mariners, Naylor hit .299 with nine home runs, 33 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. In 12 postseason games, Naylor hit .340 with three home runs, five RBIs and two stolen bases.

New York's mayor's office says Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was critically injured in a shooting in midtown Manhattan. The New York Police Department says a 29-year-old man shot early Sunday was taken to a hospital, where he was in critical but stable condition. There have been no arrests. Mayor Eric Adams' office says that the man shot was Boyd. In a social media post, Adams says he's praying for Boyd and his loved ones. A Jets spokesperson says the team is “aware of the situation.” Boyd hasn’t played this season, his first with the Jets, after going on the season-ending injured reserve list in August.

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos have extended their winning streak to eight games with a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Wil Lutz kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired for Denver. It was his fifth field goal of the game. The Broncos improved to 9-2 and all but buried the Chiefs in the AFC West, which Kansas City has won ever year since 2016. Chiefs coach Andy Reid fell to 27-5 following a bye week, counting the playoffs and his time with Philadelphia. Kansas City is now 5-5. Bo Nix set up the game-winning kick with a 32-yard pass to Troy Franklin that got Denver to the Kansas City 15 with under a minute remaining.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen has become the first NFL player to have two games with three touchdowns passing and three rushing. He did it Sunday to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 44-32 win over Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen's last TD was a rugged 9-yard run with 2:35 left that put the game away. The Bills benched struggling receiver Keon Coleman in a bid to spark their passing game, and each of Allen’s three touchdown passes went for 25 yards or more. He finished 19 of 30 for 317 yards, and the Bills overcame his two first-half interceptions. The game featured nine lead changes.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Tevaughn Campbell forced Montreal backup quarterback Shea Patterson’s fumble at the goal line and Marcus Sayles recovered it in the end zone with 2:53 left to help the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Alouettes 25-17 on Sunday night for their fifth Grey Cup title. Saskatchewan also won Canadian Football League championships in 1966, 1989, 2007 and 2013. Montreal won the last of its eight titles in 2023. Trevor Harris completed 23 of 27 passes for 302 yards for Saskatchewan. Samuel Emilus had 10 catches for 108 yards, A.J.

Monday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

The Barton Community College women's basketball team ran into another quality opponent in day two of the Best Western Angus Inn/Cougar Booster Club Classic, falling 52–42 to Redlands Community College on Saturday evening.

Closing out the non-conference slate at 2–4, Barton now shifts its attention to Wednesday's Jayhawk Conference opener as the Cougars host No. 2 Dodge City Community College at 5:30 p.m. Redlands, posting a pair of weekend victories, improves to 5–1 on the season.

Much like Friday's outing, the Cougars opened strong, riding five early points from&nbsp;Regina Donanu&nbsp;to a 7–1 lead. But the offense stalled for more than five minutes as Redlands surged ahead and carried an 11–9 edge into the first break.

The drought extended deep into the second quarter until another Donanu jumper at the 5:40 mark halted a 15–0 Redlands run. The visiting Cougars followed with a pair of triples, and although&nbsp;Christal Long&nbsp;briefly stopped the momentum with an inside bucket, another Redlands three pushed Barton into a 27–11 halftime deficit.

Barton regrouped out of the locker room with nine straight points—seven from Donanu and a tough jumper by&nbsp;Mary Akinde—to close within 27–20. Redlands countered out of the 4:24 media timeout, scoring five straight and knocking down its fifth three-pointer of the evening. Donanu and Akinde accounted for all of Barton's third-quarter scoring as the Cougars trimmed the margin to 34–27 heading to the final frame.

Redlands opened the fourth with seven unanswered to stretch the lead back to 45–31, creating the cushion it needed to ride out the double-digit advantage in the night's highest-scoring quarter.

Struggling to generate consistent offense in a 34-percent shooting effort, Barton found its bright spot in Donanu, who led all scorers for the second straight game with a career-high 26 points while adding seven rebounds. Akinde contributed eight points, a game-best nine rebounds, and three blocked shots.

Redlands showcased a balanced attack with ten players scoring, led by Karlee Harviston's nine points and Myracle Washington's eight.

Bidunga, No. 25 Kansas pull away for 76-57 win over Princeton

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kansas State forced five turnovers in a 14-6 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.

All of the Wildcats' points came off of those turnovers.

“Our guys showed up and our guys made play after play after play," Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said of his defense.

The offense wasn't so good. Kansas State, which had averaged 34.2 points in its previous five games, was held to 284 yards. Despite that, the Wildcats held on for their third win in four games.

Kansas State, a 19 1/2-point favorite according to BetMGM, didn't care about the margin of victory. Klieman lost his previous three trips to Oklahoma State as the Wildcats' coach.

“This is a hard place to play, so we’re going to enjoy this win," he said. "I’m not apologizing for a win in Stillwater because it’s dang hard to win here.”

Avery Johnson passed for 177 yards and Joe Jackson added 69 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big 12), who need one more win to become bowl eligible.

Zane Flores passed for 233 yards for Oklahoma State (1-9, 0-7), but he threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Oklahoma State has lost nine straight, and seven straight under interim coach Doug Meacham.

“We just want it so bad for these kids," Meacham said. "You’ve got to look them in the eye every day. And they go to it, they work hard and they believe what you tell them and you sell them on an idea and a scheme. They believe in you, and you go out there and you fall short. Just like eventually, it kind of wears you out, you know what I mean?”

Kansas State did not score until eight minutes into the second quarter. The Wildcats got a first down by penalty after it appeared the Cowboys stopped them on a fourth-and-1, and Jayce Brown caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Johnson on the next play. The extra point put Kansas State up 7-6 — a score that held up at halftime.

An interception by Oklahoma State's Parker Robertson early in the third quarter set the Cowboys up deep in Kansas State territory. But Flores fumbled when stripped by Cody Stufflebean, and Kansas State's Zashon Rich recovered to preserve Kansas State's lead.

Kansas State's Jackson ran 15 yards for a touchdown on a fourth-and-1 play to put the Wildcats up 14-6 in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats converted two fourth downs on the drive.

“A field goal, in my mind, was not going to do it,” Klieman said. "We were not going to try to win that game 10-6. We needed to get up 14-6 and make them score. So I thought they were going to have a hard time getting in the end zone.”

The Cowboys reached the Kansas State 26 on their final possession before turning the ball over on downs in the final minute.

Kansas State: The Wildcats played poorly overall but showed enough grit to pull through. The timely plays saved Klieman from an embarrassing loss in a season that began with high expectations.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys outgained Kansas State by 89 yards, but made too many mistakes to claim their first win under Meacham.

Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon was added to the Ring of Honor in Boone Pickens Stadium at halftime.

Blackmon won the Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s top receiver in 2010 and 2011. He is one of just two players to win the award twice. He had 253 catches for 3,564 yards and 42 touchdowns during his college career and was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

Oklahoma State outside linebacker Malik Charles was injured in the second half after running into a Kansas State player with his head down.

“I think it was more preventative and just being careful than anything, what it felt like," Meacham said. "But he had something -- you can’t just assume he’s okay. But I think it was a little bit more precautionary.”

Oklahoma State visits Central Florida next Saturday.

 </figure>STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kansas State forced five turnovers in a 14-6 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.All of the Wildcats' points came off of those turnovers.“Our guys showed up and our guys made play after play after play," Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said of his defense.The offense wasn't so good. Kansas State, which had averaged 34.2 points in its previous five games, was held to 284 yards. Despite that, the Wildcats held on for their third win in four games.Kansas State, a 19 1/2-point favorite according to BetMGM, didn't care about the margin of victory. Klieman lost his previous three trips to Oklahoma State as the Wildcats' coach.“This is a hard place to play, so we’re going to enjoy this win," he said. "I’m not apologizing for a win in Stillwater because it’s dang hard to win here.”Avery Johnson passed for 177 yards and Joe Jackson added 69 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big 12), who need one more win to become bowl eligible.Zane Flores passed for 233 yards for Oklahoma State (1-9, 0-7), but he threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles.

Kansas State forces 5 turnovers to edge Oklahoma State 14-6

The top five of The Associated Press poll is in for a change Sunday after staying the same for three weeks. No. 4 Alabama’s eight-game winning streak ended with its 23-21 loss to No. 11 Oklahoma. No. 3 Texas A&amp;M nearly had the same fate as the Tide. The Aggies had make their biggest comeback in program history to beat South Carolina 31-30. No. 5 Georgia's 35-10 win over No. 10 Texas should move the Bulldogs up a spot. The situation in the Group of Five is scrambled again after No. 25 South Florida lost to Navy.

MADRID (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has praised this year’s international series and said the league plans to return to Spain and will continue to study other possible markets. Goodell spoke before the Washington Commanders faced the Miami Dolphins at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday in the seventh and final international game of the season, the most ever in one year for the NFL as it continues to expand globally. There were talks of the league also trying to organize a game in Barcelona.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Rory McIlroy holed an eagle putt on No. 18 to force a playoff but lost out to Matt Fitzpatrick, who won the World Tour Championship for a third time on a chaotic final day of the 2025 golf season. The consolation for McIlroy was a fourth straight Race to Dubai title to cap a banner year that included winning the Masters yo complete the career Grand Slam and an away Ryder Cup with Team Europe. A final individual victory proved just beyond McIlroy, though. He hit his drive into a creek on the first playoff hole, No. 18, and made bogey. Fitzpatrick rolled in a par putt from 3 feet to win the season-ending title again at Jumeirah Golf Estates, after 2016 and 2020.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Oklahoma’s playmaking defense traveled great again, this time coming up with 17 points off three turnovers for a 23-21 upset of Alabama. The Sooners' win on Saturday throws more chaos into the Southeastern Conference and College Football Playoff pictures. The 11th-ranked Sooners backed up their win two weeks ago at Tennessee with an even bigger shocker — this time taking down the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide. Eli Bowen returned an interception 87 yards for a touchdown, Kip Lewis had two sacks and OU snapped Alabama’s 17-game home winning streak while handing its second-year coach, Kalen DeBoer, his first loss at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Gunner Stockton passed for four touchdowns, including two to Noah Thomas, and ran for a score to outplay Arch Manning as No. 5 Georgia strengthened its postseason standing by overwhelming No. 10 Texas 35-10 for its sixth straight win. After Texas trimmed Georgia’s lead to 14-10 in the third quarter, Stockton’s 30-yard touchdown pass to London Humphreys, followed by a successful onside kick, allowed the Bulldogs to put the game away. Stockton’s 6-yard scoring pass to Lawson Luckie following the recovery of the kick iced the win. Stockton added a 4-yard scoring run late in the game.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Marcel Reed threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns and No. 3 Texas A&amp;M rallied from a 27-point halftime deficit to remain undefeated with a 31-30 victory over South Carolina. It’s the biggest comeback in school history, eclipsing a 21-point rally by a Johnny Manziel-led team in a 52-48 win in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl over Duke. Entering Saturday, teams were 0-286 in Southeastern Conference play since 2004 when trailing by 27 points or more. The win keeps Texas A&amp;M on track for its first trip to the College Football Playoff.

MADRID (AP) — The scene at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium looks a lot different Sunday, with troves of fans wearing NFL jerseys instead of the white Real Madrid shirts usually seen on a regular soccer gameday. The Miami Dolphins will take on the Washington Commanders at the Bernabeu for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Spain. It will be the seventh and final international game of the season, the most ever in one year for the NFL as it continues to expand globally.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Makai Lemon made 10 catches for 153 yards and a second-half touchdown, and No. 17 Southern California scored 19 unanswered points to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive with a 26-21 victory over Iowa. Jayden Maiava passed for 254 yards and Bryan Jackson rushed for two touchdowns for the Trojans, who faced their largest deficit of the season when they trailed 21-7 late in the second quarter at a rain-soaked Coliseum. USC mounted five consecutive scoring drives, capped by Jackson’s go-ahead TD run with 13:36 to play.

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Gio Reyna has surpassed his father, Claudio Reyna, in career international goals. Reyna scored Saturday night in his first international start in 16 months. He then assisted on Folarin Balogun's tiebreaking goal, leading the United States to a 2-1 victory over Paraguay. Reyna was once a prodigy who faced challenges with injuries and controversy. He now aims to redefine himself. Coach Mauricio Pochettino recalled him for the November friendlies, and Reyna has seized the opportunity. He brings a new dimension to the U.S. attack and he hopes to play in next year's World Cup.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans have fired coach Willie Green on the heels of a 2-10 start to his fifth season in charge. Pelicans first-year basketball operations chief Joe Dumars named assistant James Borrego as interim coach for the Pelicans, who play at home on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors. Green was hired to his first head coaching job in 2021 by previous Pelicans basketball operations chief David Griffin. Green has gone 150-190 in four-plus seasons. His teams made the playoffs twice, losing in the first round to Phoenix in 2022 and Oklahoma City in 2024. Borrego was formerly the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets for four seasons from 2018 to 2022.

The 17th‑ranked Barton Community College men's basketball team opened Best Western Angus Inn/Cougar Booster Club Classic action Friday afternoon on a high note, pulling away for a 74–59 win over Northern Oklahoma College–Enid.

The victory improves Barton to 4–1 on the season, while the Jets, winners of five of their first six, slip to 5–2 overall.

Barton will close out Classic play Saturday with a 7:30 p.m. matchup against national vote-getter NOC–Tonkawa, as the Mavericks moved to 4–1 following their Friday evening 94-83 victory over Colby Community College.

The Cougars broke the game's lone tie at 2–2 with a 10–0 burst, eventually stretching the advantage to fifteen by halftime, 38–24.

As Barton rotated multiple players and combinations throughout the second half, the Jets methodically chipped away at the margin, outscoring the Cougars by seven over the first twelve minutes to draw within 54–47. Re-inserting the starting five, Barton responded immediately with eight straight points in a ninety-second stretch to rebuild a comfortable fifteen-point cushion and cruise through the final six minutes.

Four Cougars reached double figures, led by&nbsp;Aris Rodriguez's game-high 18 points while knocking down 5-of-7 from long range.

Noah Williams&nbsp;matched his season best output with his second straight 17 point performance on 3-of-5 three-point shooting, while&nbsp;Sebastian Muchitsch&nbsp;delivered one of the night's top all-around efforts with 16 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists for his second double-double of the season. Matching that versatility,&nbsp;Jayden Ramirez&nbsp;contributed 13 points, seven rebounds, and a game-high six assists.

Majok Chuol&nbsp;joined Muchitsch in double-digit rebounds, grabbing 10 as Barton produced a dominant plus-16 edge on the glass.

NOC–Enid connected on just 32.3% from the field and 10-of-34 from beyond the arc, placing three players in double figures. KeJuan Payne led with 13 points, with Dontrell Yearby and Oryne Stewart adding 12 apiece.

Balanced effort lifts No. 17 Barton over NOC-Enid in Classic debut

The Barton Community College women's basketball team had its Fleske Fieldhouse debut spoiled Friday afternoon, falling 79–53 to 15th-ranked Grayson College in the opening day of the annual Best Western Angus Inn/Cougar Booster Club Classic.

The setback — Barton's second loss of the season to the Vikings — drops the Cougars to 2–3, while Grayson, which also defeated Barton by thirteen in its home Classic earlier this month, stays unbeaten at 4–0.

Barton will conclude Classic play Saturday with a 5:30 p.m. matchup against Redlands Community College, now 4–1 following its 76–31 victory over Colby Community College.

Despite scoring the game's first four points, Barton's early momentum evaporated as turnovers fueled Grayson's transition attack. The Vikings closed the final five minutes of the opening frame on a decisive surge, outscoring the Cougars by thirteen to take a 23–11 lead.

Grayson continued to add separation in each of the remaining quarters, stretching the margin to as many as thirty late while cruising to the win.

Regina Donanu&nbsp;led all scorers with 15 points, knocking down 3-of-5 from long range, while pacing Barton on the glass with eight rebounds and adding three steals.

Freshmen&nbsp;Bryndal Moody&nbsp;and&nbsp;Christal Long&nbsp;delivered career best performances off the bench — Moody finishing with nine points on a perfect 3-for-3 outing from deep, and Long contributing eight points and seven rebounds.

Grayson countered with a deep, balanced performance, placing five players in double figures while sinking 15 three-pointers on 45.5% shooting from beyond the arc.

Madison Martin led the Vikings with 13 points, while Tahlaya Biglow scored 11; both also dished out a game-high six assists. Joanna MacAskill rounded out the double-figure scorers with 10 points and six rebounds.

Barton Women's Basketball drops home opener to No. 15 Grayson College

By MIKE COURSON
 Great Bend Post

Great Bend knows how to put on a fireworks show. Word on the
sideline prior to Great Bend’s sectional (state quarterfinal) rematch against
Hays was that a fireworks extravaganza was planned. But first, the top-ranked
Panthers had to beat their rivals. A goal-line stand in the final minute sealed
Great Bend’s place in next week’s state semifinal game against Salina Central
as the Panthers survived with a 29-22 win.

“You just try to focus one at a time and this was a big one,”
said Panther coach Erin Beck. “We knew it would be. We knew it was probably
inevitable we were going to see them at some point. It was a great rematch
between two good teams. To get past that one and into the semifinals is quite
an accomplishment. These kids need to enjoy and celebrate.”

Hays endured many penalties in the game, but none was more
consequential than a seemingly minor infraction on a punt that gave the Panthers
the ball near midfield. Great Bend made the decision to play the down over.
Senior Trenton Kern blocked the punt, which resulted in a safety and a 16-14
lead early in the third quarter.

Great Bend kept things rolling on the ensuing possession as
senior Daxton Minton found senior Ian Premer in the corner of the end zone for
a 21-yard strike. Freshman Giovanni Cruz punched through a crucial point-after
for a 24-13 lead with 55 ticks remaining in the third.

Then the Panther defense made a pair of season-saving stops.
The first halted a long Hays drive inside the 5-yard line. But Great Bend bobbled
the next snap and the Indians recovered the ball at the 1-yard line. Two plays
later, junior Braxton Basgall scored from yard out. The Indians converted a
2-point try for a 23-22 score with 5:35 to play.

Great Bend answered quickly. Facing third-and-seven, Minton
threw a perfect ball over the middle to junior Cooper Ohnmacht in stride. The
result was a 51-yard touchdown and 29-22 Panther lead with just four minutes
left in regulation.

“We saw in the first half that they were overplaying Ian a
little bit,” Beck said. “We got trips and ran Ian on a little speed-out, and it
left Cooper one-on-one. Daxton made a great throw to him and changed the
scoreboard pretty quickly.”

But the Indians refused to lie down. After blocking the PAT
to keep the deficit at 29-22, Hays marched all the way inside the Great Bend
10-yard line with plenty of time to find the end zone. Instead, the Panther
defense made three consecutive stops to force fourth-and-four with 30 seconds
left. Senior quarterback Zane Viegra was able to extend the play and appeared
to have a received in the end zone, but Panther senior Koehn Ribordy stepped in
to break it up.

“You just knew they were going to put the ball in a
playmaker’s hands and have the two-way go whether he could run it or throw it,”
said Beck. “I thought our kids did a great job of staying home. We set (Jacob
Hall) on the edge to give them a little extra pressure. The defense bowed up
when we needed. 

“After making some uncharacteristic mistakes that had us
holding our breath a little bit -after getting the score and the blocked PAT,
you just knew if Hays was going to score that thing, they were going for two
and the win. I’m just very proud of the way our kids played winning football down
the stretch.”

The Panthers endured a battle all night. Premer ran 31 yards
on the first Great Bend possession for a quick 7-0 lead, but Hays got a 22-yard
touchdown pass from Viegra to senior Jarek Purdy to level the score. 

With time waning in the first half, Great Bend faced
fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line. Minton was able to find Ohnmacht for the
touchdown and a 14-7 Panther lead with just 52 seconds left in the half.

With no timeouts, Hays got a 39-yard run from Holden Lind. With
eight seconds to play in the second quarter, Viegra found Lind in the back
corner of the end zone for a 14-14 halftime score.

“It was tough,” Beck said. “We had to rally the troops a
little bit and make sure they understood there’s a whole half of football left
because that was a huge momentum swing they stole after us scoring right before
the half. The way our kids kept their composure at halftime, you could kind of
feel they’d be alright. But it was an unbelievable game. Tip your hat to Hays;
that was a great game plan. It was a battle between two really good football teams.”

Lind rushed for 204 yards on 34 carries in his final prep
game for Hays. Viegra threw for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 9-of-15 passing,
though he only completed two passes for 14 yards in the second half.

Minton, the all-time leader in touchdown passes at GBHS, had
reverted to the run game the last two weeks. Friday, he threw for 153 yards and
three scores on 13-of-17 passing. He rushed for another 72 yards on 12 carries.
Premer was kept in check with 76 yards on eight carries, but added 82 receiving
yards on six receptions. Ohnmacht added the two big touchdowns to finish with
71 yards on his seven catches.

Great Bend moves to 11-0 on the season and will host No. 2 Salina
Central (10-1) in next Friday’s state semifinal game.

 Great Bend PostGreat Bend knows how to put on a fireworks show. Word on the
sideline prior to Great Bend’s sectional (state quarterfinal) rematch against
Hays was that a fireworks extravaganza was planned. But first, the top-ranked
Panthers had to beat their rivals. A goal-line stand in the final minute sealed
Great Bend’s place in next week’s state semifinal game against Salina Central
as the Panthers survived with a 29-22 win.“You just try to focus one at a time and this was a big one,”

MOVING ON: No. 1 Panthers survive Hays 29-22 to advance to state semifinals

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry stood at the free-throw line with six seconds remaining and the chance to make history, clinch a come-from-behind victory and silence the deafening roars of the opposing fans. Curry could not stop smiling. This was his element and he loved it. The 37-year-old point guard drained two free throws to cap a late rally and Golden State outdueled Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 109-108 on Friday. Curry scored 31 of his season-high 49 points in the second half as Golden State improved to 1-1 in the NBA Cup.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Police in Oakland, California, say Laney College football coach John Beam, known from Netflix's “Last Chance U,” has died after being shot on campus. Police announced his death on Friday, a day after the shooting. A suspect has been arrested. This marks the second school shooting at a school in Oakland in two days. Mayor Barbara Lee praised Beam as a mentor and community leader. Beam, who coached at Laney College, was featured in the 2020 season of the docuseries. Two of his former players, now in the NFL, shared tributes on social media. According to his biography on the college’s website, 20 of his players have gone on to the NFL.

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said he isn’t pursuing any jobs as a head coach in the NFL. That comes amid the first changes of the current hiring cycle. In a statement posted on social media Friday night, the 73-year-old who led the NFL’s New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles said he remains committed to building the Tar Heels program. In the statement, Belichick said: “I have not and will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies." Belichick's Tar Heels have won two straight entering Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma coach Jennie Baranczyk hears the popular catchphrase “6-7” all the time at home, possibly more often than please and thank you. Getting an earful of it at a women’s basketball game, well, that was new for the mother of three. Baranczyk and the sixth-ranked Sooners became the latest college team to send fans into a frenzy when they hit 67 points in an 89-61 victory against North Alabama on Friday. Hundreds of students on a field trip screamed their approval along with the ubiquitous phrase and juggled their hands up and down to mimic a video that went viral earlier this year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The tradition of "Script Ohio" remains a cherished part of Ohio State University and college football. At 89 years old, it continues to captivate fans. Joseph Orr, a sousaphone player from Chillicothe, Ohio, will dot the i when the Buckeyes host UCLA on Saturday night. The tradition began in 1936 and has become a signature of the Ohio State University Marching Band. The honor of dotting the i is reserved for fourth- and fifth-year sousaphone players. This year, eight players will have the chance. The tradition reflects Ohio's love for honor and excellence.

(AP) — Freshman Cameron Boozer has already made it onto a list of all-time great Duke performances in just his fourth college game. Boozer’s 35 points for the fourth-ranked Blue Devils came in Friday night’s 100-62 victory over Indiana State. That tied the second-most points in a game for a Duke freshman behind only Cooper Flagg’s 42 last season against Notre Dame. Boozer shares the 35-point freshman mark with Zion Williamson (2018-19) and Jared McCain (2023-24). Boozer’s output was one more point than Marvin Bagley III (2017-18) and J.J. Redick (2022-23) had in their first seasons with the Blue Devils.INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Anthony Dell'Orso scored 20 points off the bench and Jaden Bradley hit the go-ahead 3-pointer to help No. 5 Arizona rally for a 69-65 victory over 15th-ranked UCLA in the Hall of Fame Series at Intuit Dome. The early season neutral-court matchup reunited the longtime Pac-12 Conference rivals. Dell’Orso had 13 points in the first half, making three 3-pointers. He was limited to a pair of free throws in the second half until hitting a 3 that put Arizona ahead. The Wildcats improved to 4-0. The Bruins fell to 3-1. They were led by Tyler Bilodeau with 19 points.MADRID (AP) — Quarterback Reid Sinnett has been going around Madrid helping to promote American football ahead of Sunday's NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Commanders. Sinnett never got to play a regular-season game with any of the NFL teams he was a part of, but the 28-year-old American did thrive with the Madrid Bravos in the European League of Football last season. He broke records and was named the league’s MVP. It was the perfect way to end his career, and it made him a local football star.LEVI, Finland (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin has opened the Olympic slalom season in convincing style by dominating a World Cup race in Finnish Lapland for her record-extending 102nd career win. The American star built on a commanding first-run lead of more than a second to win the race by 1.66 seconds from second-placed Lara Colturi. Shiffrin says "I felt really strong on both runs.” Colturi is an Italian-born prodigy competing for Albania who matched her career-best result. German all-rounder Emma Aicher placed third for her first podium in a tech race. Shiffrin’s teammate Paula Moltzan improved from 19th to fourth place.NEW YORK (AP) — Disney and YouTube TV have reached a new deal to bring channels like ABC and ESPN back to the Google-owned livestreaming platform. The agreement ends a blackout for customers that dragged on for about two weeks. Both sides say that restoration has already begun. Disney content went dark on YouTube TV the night of Oct. 30 after the two sides failed to reach a new licensing deal. YouTube TV subscribers were left without Disney channels on the platform — notably disrupting coverage of top college football matchups and professional sports games, among other news and entertainment offerings. Other Disney-owned content removed from YouTube TV included channels like NatGeo, FX, Freeform, SEC Network, ACC Network and more.FinalsNATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUEFinal OT	Nashville	2	Pittsburgh	1	Final OT	Carolina	4	Vancouver	3	Final SO	Philadelphia	6	St. Louis	5	Final OT	N-Y Islanders	3	Utah	2 TOP-25 COLLEGE FOOTBALLFinal	Clemson	20	(19)Louisville	19	Final	(7)Oregon	42	Minnesota	13 TOP-25 COLLEGE BASKETBALLFinal (4)Duke 100 Indiana State 62Final (5)Arizona 69 (15)UCLA 65Final (6)Michigan 67 TCU 63Final (9)Kentucky 99 Eastern Illinois 53Final (11)Texas Tech 80 Milwaukee 63Final (14)Illinois 84 Colgate 65Final (18)North Carolina 97 North Carolina Central 53Final (19)Gonzaga 77 Arizona State 65Final (21)Arkansas 79 Samford 75Final (23)Creighton 84 Maryland-Eastern Shore 45
