Agbaji Named to the Midseason Team for the Naismith Trophy Player of the Year

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua scored 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting as No. 10 Baylor beat Kansas State 75-60 on Wednesday night.

James Akinjo added 15 points for the balanced Bears (20-4, 8-3 Big 12) and Adam Flagler had 10. They won their seventh straight over Kansas State and reached 20 wins for the 13th time in the last 15 years.

Before the current streak, Baylor had won 20 games only three times in 100 seasons.

“Any Big 12 win is a good one, especially after the last game we played,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said of Saturday’s 83-56 loss at Kansas. “We wanted to have a better performance. I thought the first half we didn’t execute as well as we’d like.

“I thought the second half we did a great job and looked a lot more like ourselves. The bench was outstanding.”

Both teams were missing key contributors.

LJ Cryer, who leads the Bears in scoring at 13.9 points per game, missed his fourth straight game with a foot injury. Selton Miguel sat out his fourth in a row for the Wildcats with an ankle injury.

“We are not a one-man team,” Tchamwa Tchatchoua said. “We don’t just have one leader. Every night a different guy steps up. I’m not a vocal leader. I lead by example. It’s what everybody brings.”

“When we’ve won we’ve had balance,” Wildcats coach Bruce Weber said. “We’ve had four guys in double figures. We just needed a couple more guys to give us a little bit more.

“Nijel was exhausted. We had no choice but to keep going to him. Obviously, Tchatchoua loves to play against us.”

K-State’s two biggest losses this season have come against the Bears, including a 74-49 defeat at Baylor on Jan. 25.

Baylor outscored the Wildcats 7-1 to start the second half. K-State’s chances were dimmed considerably when Markquis Nowell picked up two quick fouls and was sent to the bench with four at the 17:43 mark of the second half. The second-half surge eventually extended to 19-4 Baylor.

“We held them to 39%, which means you get a lot of stops and you get into transition,” Drew said. “Our second-chance points, we flipped them from our last game. Our transition defense was a lot better today.”

Baylor led 39-21 at halftime of the first game, but K-State played a much better first half Wednesday. The Wildcats led 20-13 before the teams went into halftime tied at 34. Baylor’s largest lead in the first half was two points.

Pack and Smith had 13 points each for the Wildcats. Baylor was led by Kendall Brown and Tchamwa Tchatchoua with eight points apiece.

Baylor held a 20-13 advantage on the boards.

Baylor: The Bears continued their recent domination of Kansas State. Baylor has outscored K-State 430-305 (86-61 average) over the past five games.

Kansas State: The Wildcats keep stubbing their toes when they get into “bubble” consideration for the NCAA Tournament.

Kansas State plays at Iowa State on Saturday afternoon in the first matchup of the season between the schools.

June 23, 2022, marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Arguably, Title IX is one of the most impactful laws that has paved the way for girls and women to play sports in school, and great gains have been made in this area over the past 50 years.

And over the past 50 years it has been realized that interscholastic athletics participation can lead to better outcomes in education, positive health benefits and even improved opportunities in later employment. For some high school athletes, access to participation opportunities opens a door to playing sports in college and beyond. For all high school students, participating in athletics can be a source of fun and empowerment, lasting friendships, confidence in one’s physical skills, development of leadership potential, growth in the resilience necessary to commit to a vision, learn from mistakes and persist in meeting goals. These benefits are well worth encouraging participation for boys and for girls.

However, there are still 1.3 million fewer participation opportunities for girls than boys in our nation’s elementary and secondary schools. One of the most important responsibilities of high school athletic administrators is to ensure that the school’s athletic program meets Title IX compliance in both the areas of 1) Effective Accommodation of Athletic Interests and Abilities and 2) Equivalence in Other Athletic Benefits and Opportunities.

This article focuses on ways to increase athletic participation opportunities for female students. Athletic administrators and school personnel can develop strategies to recruit and retain girls in the athletic program by making the experiences meaningful and positive.

For a school’s athletic administrator to begin the process of assessing and increasing the participation opportunities for females at their school, the administrator must first gain a general understanding of what motivates young females to play sports, what barriers prevent them from participating and why some girls decide not to participate in sports. Understanding the historical evolution of girls participation in sports and the barriers they have faced may lead athletic administrators to develop more effective athletic participation opportunities for females at their school.

It is essential for schools is to understand the idea of gender equity in athletics. Recognize the historical barriers to female participation and honestly assess the current participation opportunities as well as the atmosphere and culture that exists within the school’s athletic program.

Female participants in sports will benefit from and respond positively to all athletic personnel making clear and explicit efforts to create physically, emotionally, socially and mentally healthy programs.

Are all sports regarded as equally deserving of respect, publicity, announcements, etc.? If the achievements of teams are recognized, for example, in morning announcements, is this true for all sports? Has the school performed a Title IX self-audit, created a gender equity committee, and determined whether all athletic participants are receiving the same support? Is it expected that all coaches will express open support for all the school’s teams and create the expectation that their student-athletes will do the same?

Are coaches and other school personnel receiving training on how to create a culture that empowers young females of all body types? Has the school implemented a zero-tolerance standard for homophobic comments and behavior directed toward females who participate in sports? Are adults sensitive to and actively monitoring areas like weight rooms for sexual harassment?

Is the athletic director leading the way, with buy-in from all coaches, in making connections between sports and prevention of disease, lifelong fitness and eating for health, energy and strength?

Recruit, hire and train coaches that have a background and interest in working with female student-athletes. Athletic administrators must be committed to provide training and workshop experiences for the existing coaching staff that focuses on different strategies girls and boys.

Emphasize positive self-talk. Coaches should not pressure female student-athletes to conform to a certain body image or physique. Female student-athletes are at greater risk than male student-athletes for eating disorders. Coaches should avoid any reference to body weight or appearance and any comments that might suggest a student-athlete is overweight. Coaches should discuss the connection between sport and women’s health and fitness and foster discussion about the correlation between athletic participation, women’s health risks and prevention of disease.

Because boys have had a longer history of sports participation, school athletic personnel need to be aware and sensitive to the dynamics and characteristics of young female student-athletes who may not have had the same experiences. For example, coaches may need to provide precise feedback and encouragement to female student-athletes to help them develop self-confidence as opposed to screaming at, denigrating or punishing them when they make a mistake.

Coaches need to understand the fear and anxiety that many young females may experience when participating in sports and support and build confidence in female student- athletes by helping them prepare mentally and physically for their sport. Coaches should teach student-athletes to manage mistakes and anxiety in a positive manner. Utilizing tools such as self-talk or affirmations, relaxation techniques and positive mental imagery can increase self-confidence.

Explain and demonstrate appropriate strength training, flexibility techniques and programs to improve cardiovascular performance. Schools should create and support healthy and safe programs for female student-athletes by providing appropriate opportunities for them to train and properly prepare for the specific cardiovascular, strength and flexibility demands of each sport. School personnel should not assume that females are not interested in utilizing the school’s weight rooms, fitness rooms and conditioning facilities. If properly educated and given time in a safe space, female student-athletes will reap the benefits of using these facilities. Additionally, coaches need to properly teach female student-athletes the tactics and skills of their sport that will increase their chances for success and minimize the likelihood of injury due to overuse and poor technique.

Examine the community athletic programs that currently exist. Cultivate relationships with community-based athletic leagues or clubs, private gyms and any other community athletic groups that exist. Reach out to younger athletes in the community and invite them to participate in the school’s athletic programs in the future. Simply reaching out to younger athletes can have enormous positive impact and can be a difference-maker when a young female is uncertain as to whether she wants to commit to participating in a school’s athletic program. In addition, athletic administrators should take the opportunity to promote the school’s athletic program – both boys and girls – when interfacing with the various community groups.

Conduct a survey of middle school and high school students to assess their interests, abilities and attitudes of interscholastic athletics. Include in the survey interest levels of club and intramural sports. It will also be important to take this a step further and use focus groups to assess girls’ intentions and goals for participating in interscholastic athletics. It may be beneficial to incorporate focus groups to uncover the barriers and challenges that girls encounter when deciding whether to participate in the school’s athletic program. Additionally, incorporate the school’s guidance counseling staff into the process by asking them to speak with students about athletic participation, etc.

Provide a wide range of opportunities for girls that can attract greater numbers of students. Consider offering sports that may not necessarily be currently sanctioned by the state’s athletic/activity association. Creating coed sport opportunities may be an attraction for some students and gives boys the opportunity to see girls in a competitive environment as student-athletes. Athletic administrators should not assume that girls are only interested in certain sports or that girls may not be interested in sports at all.

Implement a policy or procedure for requesting the addition of sports and effectively communicate that policy or procedure to students and parents.

Athletic administrators need to understand the diverse cultural backgrounds and any cultural expectations within the community. Students are influenced by culture when it comes to the sports in which they may be interested in participating.

Avoid making cuts on teams whenever it is safely and logically possible.

Goals related to improvement and personal bests need to be celebrated as well as goals related to winning.

Know what athletic girls want and understand that young females often want to explore a variety of sports participation experiences. For many adolescents, both boys and girls, participating in athletics is about having fun at sport, cultivating friendships, developing physical skills, meeting personal challenges, and focusing their competitive growth. While some girls, just as some boys, dream of aspirations of competing at the high school level, the college level, the Olympic level and in some instances, play professionally.

A school’s athletic program is an integral part of the school’s overall educational program. Schools must commit to creating a program focused on students growing in mental and physical health, athletic prowess and interpersonal skills. The excitement of winning can motivate some. The joy of feeling successful, stronger and connected to friends will motivate many.

When school district athletic administrators and school administrators understand the idea of gender equity in athletics and commit to providing girls and boys with similar opportunities, treatment and respect, then both genders stand to win and school athletic programs stand to grow. Athletic administrators, coaches and school administrators need more than vision to implement programs and deal with equity issues including creating more participation opportunities for girls. School personnel need to create and implement a strategic plan to take actions that will create a more gender equitable athletic program. In doing so, schools must have sensitivity and awareness of the issues that are unique to young females who participate or may potentially participate in an education-based athletics program. Boys and girls essentially gain the same positive benefits from participating in their school’s athletics program. However, the journey to obtain those benefits for each is different.

KWCA Wrestling Rankings (2/10)

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Brandon Mahan scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the last five minutes to help UCF hold off Wichita State, 71-66, Tuesday night at Addition Financial Arena.

Tyson Etienne scored 17 of his game-high 26 in the second half for WSU (12-9, 3-6 American), which nearly overcame a 16-point second-half deficit.

Mahan was 6-of-10 from the field and secured nine rebounds to keep UCF (14-8, 6-6) in front. His final stretch included a four-point play and a pair of three-point plays, the last with 26 seconds on the clock and the Knights clinging to a 66-64 lead.

The win was UCF's first-ever in the series. The Shockers had won all eight previous meetings, including an 84-79 decision less than two weeks ago in Wichita.

UCF sank 11 on 29 three-point attempts (.380), five of them by Darin Green Jr., who finished with 17 points.

Helped by a 5-of-12 line from Etienne, WSU sank 11 of its 26 three-point tries (.420).

Craig Porter Jr. finished with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals. He was 2-for-2 from distance.

Dexter Dennis sank all three of his three-point looks on his way to 11 points and six boards.

The Shockers made their first three triples of the night to build a quick 11-2 lead. They scored 15 points in the game's first five minutes but managed just 14 more the rest of the half, due in part to 10 first-half turnovers.

The Knights outscored the Shockers 24-6 over the next 10 minutes to go up by double-figures and led by 14 at the intermission. They hosts were 8-of-17 from three at that stage but made just three more the rest of the way.

Down 16 (47-31) with 18:08 to play, WSU began its comeback bid.

Etienne scored the last seven points in a 13-0 Shocker run that sliced UCF's lead down to 49-47 at the 13:22-mark.

That was as close as the Shockers would get. Down the stretch, they had four possessions with an opportunity to tie or take lead and came up empty on all of them.

Mahan's first three-point play nudged the Knight lead back to eight with 5:09 to go.

His four-point play with 3:33 remaining also proved critical after the Shockers had again closed to within four.

Etienne made back-to-back threes in a span of 32 seconds to give WSU new life with 1:33 to play, down just 66-64.

Both teams came up empty on their next possessions.

The Shockers appeared to catch a break with 27 seconds on the clock when the ball slipped from UCF guard Darius Perry's hands on his way to the basket, but officials ruled it had last been touched by WSU.

UCF made the most of the extra possession with Perry threading an inbound pass to Mahan for a reverse layup and a foul. His free throw upped the Knight lead to 69-64.

Etienne converted two free throws with 17 seconds left to make it a one-possession game, but Mahan countered with two makes of his own to ice it.

WSU is back home Saturday evening to face South Florida at Charles Koch Arena (7 p.m. CT, ESPNU).

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Brandon Mahan scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the last five minutes to help UCF hold off Wichita State, 71-66, Tuesday night at Addition Financial Arena.Tyson Etienne scored 17 of his game-high 26 in the second half for WSU (12-9, 3-6 American), which nearly overcame a 16-point second-half deficit.Mahan was 6-of-10 from the field and secured nine rebounds to keep UCF (14-8, 6-6) in front. His final stretch included a four-point play and a pair of three-point plays, the last with 26 seconds on the clock and the Knights clinging to a 66-64 lead.The win was UCF's first-ever in the series. The Shockers had won all eight previous meetings, including an 84-79 decision less than two weeks ago in Wichita.UCF sank 11 on 29 three-point attempts (.380), five of them by Darin Green Jr., who finished with 17 points.Helped by a 5-of-12 line from Etienne, WSU sank 11 of its 26 three-point tries (.420).Craig Porter Jr. finished with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals. He was 2-for-2 from distance.Dexter Dennis sank all three of his three-point looks on his way to 11 points and six boards.The Shockers made their first three triples of the night to build a quick 11-2 lead. They scored 15 points in the game's first five minutes but managed just 14 more the rest of the half, due in part to 10 first-half turnovers.The Knights outscored the Shockers 24-6 over the next 10 minutes to go up by double-figures and led by 14 at the intermission. They hosts were 8-of-17 from three at that stage but made just three more the rest of the way.Down 16 (47-31) with 18:08 to play, WSU began its comeback bid.Etienne scored the last seven points in a 13-0 Shocker run that sliced UCF's lead down to 49-47 at the 13:22-mark.That was as close as the Shockers would get. Down the stretch, they had four possessions with an opportunity to tie or take lead and came up empty on all of them.Mahan's first three-point play nudged the Knight lead back to eight with 5:09 to go.His four-point play with 3:33 remaining also proved critical after the Shockers had again closed to within four.Etienne made back-to-back threes in a span of 32 seconds to give WSU new life with 1:33 to play, down just 66-64.Both teams came up empty on their next possessions.The Shockers appeared to catch a break with 27 seconds on the clock when the ball slipped from UCF guard Darius Perry's hands on his way to the basket, but officials ruled it had last been touched by WSU.UCF made the most of the extra possession with Perry threading an inbound pass to Mahan for a reverse layup and a foul. His free throw upped the Knight lead to 69-64.Etienne converted two free throws with 17 seconds left to make it a one-possession game, but Mahan countered with two makes of his own to ice it.UP NEXT:WSU is back home Saturday evening to face South Florida at Charles Koch Arena (7 p.m. CT, ESPNU).Wichita State Athletics

Glenn Earns Third Big 12 Freshman of the Week Honor

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs hired Joe Cullen, the former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, to coach their defensive line Friday while moving Brandon Daly from that position group to work with the linebackers.

Cullen has spent 15 seasons working with defensive lines for five teams, beginning with Detroit in 2006 and moving through Jacksonville, Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Detroit. He spent one season as the Jaguars defensive coordinator before the firing of coach Urban Meyer led to a change in regimes.

Daly had worked with the Kansas City defensive line for the past three seasons. His move to the linebacker corps fills an opening that was created when Matt House departed to become defensive coordinator at LSU.

&nbsp; MANHATTAN, Kan.&nbsp;– Sophomore guard&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7431">Nijel Pack</a>&nbsp;was selected as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week for the second time this season on Monday (February 7) after he posted consecutive 20-point performances in a pair of wins this past week, including the game-winner against Oklahoma State. Pack is the first Wildcat to win multiple Player of the Week honors in the same season in more than 7 seasons since&nbsp;Nino Williams&nbsp;won it twice during the 2014-15 season (Dec. 15, 2014, and Jan. 26, 2015). Pack also won the weekly accolade on January 24 after his career-high 35-point effort against Kansas. For the week, Pack averaged 21 points on 59.3 percent (16-of-27) shooting, including 53.8 percent (7-of-13) from 3-point range, along with 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 2.5 assists in 36.5 minutes in helping K-State post consecutive wins over OSU (71-68) and TCU (75-63) last week. He capped a game-high 22-point performance against the Cowboys with the game-winning 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds, while he followed with 20 points, a career-high 4 steals, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the road win over the Horned Frogs. Pack is just the eighth Wildcat to earn the weekly Player of the Week honor at least twice in the same season, joining the likes of&nbsp;Jeremiah Massey&nbsp;(2004-05),&nbsp;Michael Beasley&nbsp;(2007-08),&nbsp;Denis Clemente&nbsp;(2009-10),&nbsp;Jacob Pullen&nbsp;(2010-11),&nbsp;Jamar Samuels&nbsp;(2011-12),&nbsp;Rodney McGruder&nbsp;(2012-13) and Williams. Overall, it marks the school's 31st Player of the Week honor since the inception of the Big 12 in 1997, including the 16th under head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1566">Bruce Weber</a>.

A 6-foot, 180-pound guard from Indianapolis, Indiana, Pack is the Big 12 leader in 3-point field goals made per game (3.30) while he is among the top-10 in 4 other categories, including third in scoring (17.0 ppg.) and 3-point field goal percentage (43.4), sixth in field goal percentage (46.0) and ninth in minutes (31.9). His numbers are even better in Big 12 play, ranking second in scoring (18.8 ppg.) and 3-point field goals made per game (3.50), third in 3-point field goal percentage (42.7), fourth in field goal percentage (45.5) and 10th&nbsp;in steals (1.50).

Monday Statewide Scores

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Timmy Allen hit the go-ahead jumper, then Marcus Carr delivered the game-sealing steal and free throws.

A few seconds later, Texas fans stormed the court.

The No. 20 Longhorns tightened up the Big 12 standings Monday night with an intense 79-76 win over No. 8 Kansas as they made the late plays and shots to overcome a blistering second-half shooting effort from the Jayhawks.

The Longhorns earned the biggest win so far for first-year coach Chris Beard, but the coach and players shrugged off the moment as one of many to come.

“It’s good for us but it’s not the biggest thing in the world,” said Allen, who scored 24 points in an impressive all-around performance. “We have higher goals than just beating somebody on our home floor.”

Texas outscored Kansas 7-0 in the final minute. The Jayhawks led 76-72 before the Longhorns’ Tre Mitchell, who had missed all five of his 3-point attempts, banked one in to get the Longhorns within one.

“That was big time, a shooter’s touch,” Texas forward Christian Bishop said.

Kansas then turned it over when Ochai Agbaji’s lob to David McCormack bounced off the front of the rim and Texas snatched the rebound. The Jayhawks then left Allen open just beyond the free-throw line for the go-ahead basket.

“I cut to my spot and I just raised up and shot it,” Allen said. “I like the midrange jumper, so I was happy about it.”

Kansas still had a chance to take the lead but Carr’s steal and free throws with 6 seconds left sealed the victory, Texas’ third in a row over the Jayhawks. Texas swept Kansas in the regular season last season.

Mitchell scored 17 and Carr finished with 10 points for the Longhorns (18-6, 7-4 Big 12).

Jalen Wilson scored 18 to lead the Jayhawks (19-4, 8-2), who still remain in first place in the Big 12. Agbagi, the leading scorer in the Big 12, finished with 11 points, nearly 10 points below his average.

Kansas struggled in the first half to find the free-flowing offense that can flip a game in a flash. Texas guard Courtney Ramey didn’t score a point in the half, but his lockdown defensive effort on Agbaji held the Jayhawks guard to just seven points on just five shots in the half.

But Kansas kept pecking away and a hot shooting start to the second half — the Jayhawks made nine of their first 12 shots — eventually put them ahead on Josef Yesufu’s steal and dunk. Kansas shot 64 % in the second half against the No. 1 scoring defense in the country.

“I thought it was going to be a rock fight and (scoring) in the 50s,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

Kansas: The Jayhawks were sloppy with the ball in the first half against Texas’ relentless defense and paid for it. Kansas surrendered 24 points on 15 turnovers in the game. The final turnover from Dejuan Harris came as Kansas still had a chance to shoot for the win before Carr’s free throws.

Texas: Physical play by Allen, Mitchell and Bishop let Texas hang with the bigger Jayhawks inside. Allen had nine rebounds and Bishop had 10, including seven offensive boards. Mitchell scored 10 straight points in the first half as the Longhorns rallied from an early 18-11 deficit.

Aside from his lock-down defense on Agbaji, Ramey delivered some huge baskets for Texas in the second half. Kansas led 67-62 when Ramey delivered consecutive layups and converted a 3-point play to keep Kansas from pulling away.

TIP-INS Texas made 20 of 23 free throws to overcome just 3-of-20 shooting from 3-point range ... The Longhorns had 15 offensive rebounds to set up 13 second chance points ... Texas also protected the ball, giving up just six turnovers.

Kansas: The Jayhawks host Oklahoma on Saturday.

Texas: The Longhorns play at No. 10 Baylor on Saturday.

The Jayhawks led 76-72 before the Longhorns’ Tre Mitchell, who had missed all five of his 3-point attempts, banked one in to get the Longhorns within one.“That was big time, a shooter’s touch,” Texas forward Christian Bishop said.Kansas then turned it over when Ochai Agbaji’s lob to David McCormack bounced off the front of the rim and Texas snatched the rebound. The Jayhawks then left Allen open just beyond the free-throw line for the go-ahead basket.“I cut to my spot and I just raised up and shot it,” Allen said. “I like the midrange jumper, so I was happy about it.”Kansas still had a chance to take the lead but Carr’s steal and free throws with 6 seconds left sealed the victory, Texas’ third in a row over the Jayhawks. Texas swept Kansas in the regular season last season.Mitchell scored 17 and Carr finished with 10 points for the Longhorns (18-6, 7-4 Big 12).Jalen Wilson scored 18 to lead the Jayhawks (19-4, 8-2), who still remain in first place in the Big 12. Agbagi, the leading scorer in the Big 12, finished with 11 points, nearly 10 points below his average.Kansas struggled in the first half to find the free-flowing offense that can flip a game in a flash. Texas guard Courtney Ramey didn’t score a point in the half, but his lockdown defensive effort on Agbaji held the Jayhawks guard to just seven points on just five shots in the half.But Kansas kept pecking away and a hot shooting start to the second half — the Jayhawks made nine of their first 12 shots — eventually put them ahead on Josef Yesufu’s steal and dunk. Kansas shot 64 % in the second half against the No. 1 scoring defense in the country.“I thought it was going to be a rock fight and (scoring) in the 50s,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.BIG PICTUREKansas: The Jayhawks were sloppy with the ball in the first half against Texas’ relentless defense and paid for it. Kansas surrendered 24 points on 15 turnovers in the game. The final turnover from Dejuan Harris came as Kansas still had a chance to shoot for the win before Carr’s free throws.Texas: Physical play by Allen, Mitchell and Bishop let Texas hang with the bigger Jayhawks inside. Allen had nine rebounds and Bishop had 10, including seven offensive boards. Mitchell scored 10 straight points in the first half as the Longhorns rallied from an early 18-11 deficit.RALLY RAMEYAside from his lock-down defense on Agbaji, Ramey delivered some huge baskets for Texas in the second half. Kansas led 67-62 when Ramey delivered consecutive layups and converted a 3-point play to keep Kansas from pulling away.TIP-INS Texas made 20 of 23 free throws to overcome just 3-of-20 shooting from 3-point range ... The Longhorns had 15 offensive rebounds to set up 13 second chance points ... Texas also protected the ball, giving up just six turnovers.UP NEXTKansas: The Jayhawks host Oklahoma on Saturday.Texas: The Longhorns play at No. 10 Baylor on Saturday.

Allen jumper sends No. 20 Texas over No. 8 Kansas 79-76

BEIJING (AP) — Vincent Zhou (jow) is missing from the U.S. men’s figure skating team, but Nathan Chen is right on target.

Chen has set the world record during his short program at the Beijing Olympics, scoring 113.97 points. That breaks the previous mark set by longtime rival Yuzuru Hanyu and puts Chen in position to win his long-sought gold medal.

Chen opened with a perfect quad flip, breezed through the triple axel that sometimes gives him problems and drilled a quad lutz-triple toe loop that by itself scored more than 21 points.

His total was more than five points ahead of Yuma Kagiyama, who sits in second place. Hanyu is 20 points off the lead.

Meanwhile, Zhou has tested positive for the coronavirus, and is out of the individual competition.

The 21-year-old had struggled through a poor free skate for the eventual team silver medalists a day before and was due to compete in the individual competition that begins with the men’s short program on Tuesday.

— Vermont native Ryan Cochran-Siegle came away with silver in the men's Super-G. finishing 0.04 seconds behind Austria's Matthias (mah-TEE'-uhs) Mayer. Cochran-Siegle’s silver medal came almost 50 years to the day after his mother, Barbara Ann, won gold in the slalom at the 1972 Sapporo Games. Mayer broke Norway’s 16-year grip on the men’s Olympic super-G title when he won gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

— Marie-Philip Poulin capped a three-goal run by scoring on a penalty shot with 2:35 left in the second period, helping Canada beat the defending-champion United States. The outcome gives the Canadians the top seed entering the playoff round. Barring a major upset, the two global hockey powers are expected to meet once more in the gold-medal final next week.

— Casey Dawson is finally on his way to the Olympics. The U.S. speedskater tested positive for COVID-19 three weeks ago and had struggled to get the necessary clearance to travel to Beijing. He’s already missed the 5,000 meters, and his late arrival will likely keep him out of Tuesday’s 1,500 meters.

— American-born Eileen Gu of China has captured gold in women’s freestyle big air. Gu cranked out the first 1620 of her career on her final jump, stunning Tess Ledeux of France and earning the first of what she hopes will be three gold medals. She is also a medal favorite in slopestyle and halfpipe.

— The U.S. ski team says American skier Nina O’Brien has sustained a compound fracture of her left tibia and fibula after falling toward the end of the women’s giant slalom. Monday’s race had to be delayed for about 15 minutes when O’Brien slid across the finish line at the end of her second run. She was screaming in pain after stumbling through the last gate as her skis crossed in front of her.

— A second Finland men’s hockey player has been taken to an isolation hotel after testing positive for the coronavirus in Beijing. Goaltender Jussi Olkinuora has joined forward Marko Anttila in isolation. A Finnish Olympic Committee says the two players recovered from COVID-19 last month and tested negative to travel to Beijing.

— Another Russian women’s hockey player has tested positive for the coronavirus after playing against Canada. The forward played against Canada in a game Monday which was delayed because of virus concerns on both teams before the Russians and Canadians agreed to start the game in masks. The Canadians kept their masks on and won 6-1.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Timmy Allen scored 24 points and his long jumper from just beyond the free-throw line with 21 seconds left put Texas ahead before Marcus Carr’s free throws sealed a 79-76 win over No. 8 Kansas. Texas is one of the best defensive teams in the country and had to withstand a blistering shooting half from the top-scoring team in the Big 12. Kansas led 76-72 before Texas' Tre Mitchell banked in a 3-pointer to get the Longhorns within one. A Kansas turnover then set up Allen's go-ahead shot. 

UNDATED (AP) — A pair of top-10 men's basketball teams lost on Monday. Reece Beekman hit a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining to give Virginia a 69-68 win at seventh-ranked Duke. Timmy Allen scored 24 points and hit a long jumper with 21 seconds left to put 20th-ranked Texas ahead for good in a 79-76 triumph over No. 8 Kansas.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Empty seats are outnumbering occupied ones at Nebraska men's basketball home games as the team grinds through one of the worst seasons in program history under coach Fred Hoiberg.  According to figures provided to The Associated Press, the average number of tickets scanned is just under 7,200. That's less than half of Pinnacle Bank Arena's capacity. Three consecutive January games drew fewer than 5,800 fans. Athletic director Trev Alberts acknowledged some fans are staying away because of the mask mandate. But he said the team's poor performance is the biggest factor and a major concern.

UNDATED (AP) — Auburn is No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll for the third straight week. Coach Bruce Pearl’s Tigers earned 48 of 61 first-place votes. Gonzaga earned the other 13 votes and has been ranked No. 2 throughout Auburn’s first stay at the top. Purdue, Arizona and Kentucky rounded out the top five. Texas Tech rose five spots to No. 9 under first-year coach Mark Adams. No. 22 Saint Mary's and No. 23 Murray State entered the poll. Murray State's poll appearance is its first since March 2015. Iowa State and LSU fell out from last week.

UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams could get two former starters back from injured reserve in time for the Super Bowl. Coach Sean McVay said defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day and running back Darrell Henderson are expected to practice with the Rams this week, and there’s “a good chance” Joseph-Day and Henderson can play against Cincinnati.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans Saints is promoting defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to head coach. Two people familiar with the decision say the New Orleans Saints have promoted defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to head coach. Sean Payton resigned nearly two weeks ago after 16 years with the club. The 49-year-old Allen is in his second stint with the Saints. He was their secondary coach when they won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season. Allen was the Oakland Raiders’ head coach from 2012 to 2014 before returning to New Orleans in 2015.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have hired Arizona assistant Jim Dray as tight ends coach. Dray joins new coach Matt Eberflus’ staff after spending the past three seasons as an offensive quality control coach with Cleveland in 2019 and the Cardinals in 2020 and 2021. The 35-year-old Dray played eight seasons in the NFL as a tight end with the Cardinals, Cleveland, Buffalo and San Francisco.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The NFL is taking a hard look at special teams, which had a disproportionate number of injuries this season. Rules changes to further limit kick plays could be coming due to concern over the amount of concussions and lower extremity injuries. The NFL’s chief medical officer indicated that one in six concussions involved special teams. 30% percent of major knee injuries and 29% of other lower body injuries were on kick teams which is alarming as only about 17% of all plays involve special teams.
