By MIKE COURSON Great Bend Post

Panther fans needed some respite following the Great Bend boys' thrilling win against Bishop Carroll Monday night to open the Class 5A playoffs. The Lady Panthers delivered. At least for most of the night. Great Bend led by 17 points with 13 seconds to play in the third quarter. Salina Central battled back and even had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds before coming up short 46-42. 

"I think they just came out and, at that point, they were ready to take over," said Lady Panther senior Emily Hall. "I don't think we were ready for the pressure they brought but I'm glad we were able to find a way to handle it later and finish that fourth quarter for the win."

Hall finished the night with 13 points, but it was her passing game that led to points in the second half. Her assist to senior Sadie Spray with 13 ticks left in the third pushed the Panther lead to 35-18. Central answered with a bounce-in 3-pointer at the buzzer from senior Callan Hall, one of the last players off the Lady Mustang bench. Great Bend was still in command at 35-21 with a quarter to play.

Central got threes from senior Elle Denning and senior Tyler Vidrickson to cap a 9-0 run in a 53-second span to dip into the Panther lead at 35-23 with 7:10 remaining. Hall answered with two more assists to Spray, and senior Makenzie Premer dropped a pass to Hall to bump the lead back to 41-29 with 3:06 remaining.

The Lady Mustangs scored just 21 points through the first three quarters and matched that in the final eight minutes behind seven Panther turnovers. A late turnover resulted in a 3-pointer from Vidrickson to whittle the Great Bend lead to 44-40 with just 21 seconds left. 

Hall made one of two free throws on the other end but Central was able to get two points and another turnover in the final seconds to set up a potential game-tying shot. Fortunately, the Mustangs gave it right back, resulting in a Premer free throw make with 0.3 seconds left on the clock to ice the game for good.

Great Bend stormed out to a 15-3 lead in the first six minutes of action thanks to six points apiece from Hall and Spray and a 3-pointer from senior Paige Thexton in the first. Spray was sidelined for most of the second quarter with a second personal foul late in the first.

Central remained competitive in the second quarter in part after grabbing six of the first seven rebound opportunities in the period. Hall turned that around with seven of her eight rebounds on the night coming in the middle quarters.

"It finally clicked that their shots were going long each time and you had to push them back further," Hall said. "They weren't dropping right under the basket. They were going long. They're used to rebounding that way and we're not used to that. Once we were able to figure it out, it really did turn around the game for us."

Denning, Hall, and Saniya Triplett each scored eight points for Salina Central, and Denning grabbed six rebounds.

Spray scored seven of her game-high 19 points in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Denver Ringo added six points, and Thexton and Premer each scored three points.

Great Bend moves to 15-6 on the season ahead of Saturday's substate championship in Emporia on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Spartans (20-1) defeated the Lady Panthers 43-29 on Dec. 15. Emporia defeated Topeka West 65-35 in their first-round playoff game Wednesday.

"It was a good game but we weren't ready for that type of pressure," Hall said. "We've really grown throughout this season and I think we're ready to take them on again."

(Correction: Saturday's substate final in Emporia is at 5 p.m., not 6 p.m.)

Lady Panthers never trail against Central in 5A playoff opener

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP)
— Kansas football coach Lance Leipold signed an amended contract
that increased his overall compensation to more than $40 million
through the 2029 season. The contract does not extend the previous
deal, but it does feature a substantial bump in salary from the $5
million Leipold made last season, when he led the Jayhawks to a 9-4
record and a victory in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Leipold was linked
to several openings this offseason, including Washington, but
ultimately decided to stay at Kansas, where school officials have
begun to invest heavily in the Jayhawks’ football program. That
includes a new football stadium under construction.

UNDATED (AP) —
Recent incidents in college basketball have underscored the potential
dangers that come from jubilant fans storming the court after the
game comes to an end. Finding a solution is proving to be a
challenge. Duke center Kyle Filipowski and Iowa star Caitlin Clark
both got caught in scary incidents recently. The incidents have
prompted a renewed scrutiny on protecting visiting teams. Duke coach
Jon Scheyer has called on immediate measures by the Atlantic Coast
Conference to prevent court storming. Stopping such often-impromptu
celebrations is easier said than done, especially with most student
sections so close to the court.

UNDATED (AP) —
College Football Playoff officials are considering a 14-team model
that would guarantee multiple automatic bids for each of the four
power conferences, starting in 2026. Two people with direct knowledge
of the discussions told The Associated Press the format being
discussed would guarantee three playoff spots each for the Big Ten
and Southeastern Conference, two for the Atlantic Coast Conference
and Big 12 and one for the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five
leagues. The two people spoke on condition of anonymity the CFP
management committee's talks were not being made public.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)
— Addy Brown scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Iowa
State held off No. 15 Kansas State in the fourth quarter for an 82-76
win to tighten the Big 12 Conference standings with one game left.
Brown, a freshman from Derby, Kansas, had 11 points in the fourth
quarter, including three free throws in the last minute, and finished
9 of 13 from the field to help the Cyclones become the first team
this season to shoot 50% against the Wildcats. Freshman Audi Crooks
had 14 points and seven rebounds for Iowa State. Ayoka Lee had 20
points and eight rebounds for Kansas State, which had its 17-game
home winning streak snapped. The Wildcats allow just 56.3 points a
game, on 35% shooting, 25.8% from 3-point range. The Cyclone made 5
of 15 behind the arc and 33 of 66 overall.

AMES, Iowa (AP) —
Demarion Watson hit all seven of his field goal attempts for 15
points and also had nine rebounds to lead No. 8 Iowa State to a 58-45
win over Oklahoma. Curtis Jones added 11 points as the Cyclones won
their 17th straight home game and for the sixth time in their last
seven games. Rivaldo Soares had nine points to lead the Sooners, who
have now lost three of their last four. It was the last scheduled
meeting between the teams as Oklahoma heads to the SEC next year.

STILLWATER, Okla.
(AP) — Darius Johnson scored 17 points, Jaylin Sellers scored 10 of
his 12 points in the second half, and UCF beat Oklahoma State 77-71
for its second Big 12 road win in eight attempts this season. UCF
(15-12, 6-9), coming off a 75-61 win over No. 23 Texas Tech on
Saturday, won back-to-back conference games for the first time this
season. Johnson sank a jumper early in the second half to give UCF
its first lead of the game at 43-42. Ibrahima Diallo added a dunk on
UCF’s next possession for a 7-0 start to the second half. Oklahoma
State guard Quion Williams had a layup attempt roll off and C.J.
Walker grabbed the defensive rebound before making 1 of 2 free throws
with 35.8 seconds left for a 71-67 lead.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
Caitlin Clark has another career record on her astounding resume: the
most points by any major college women’s player to ever take the
court. Iowa’s superstar guard scored 33 points to lead the
sixth-ranked Hawkeyes in a romp at Minnesota and move one point past
Lynette Woodard on the all-time list with 3,650 points. Clark buried
her eighth 3-pointer of the game with 4:17 left to pass Woodard. She
also set the NCAA single-season record for 3-pointers in the process
to reach 156 in 2023-24.

TOKYO (AP) —
Baseball star Shohei Ohtani has announced on social media he is
married. He's written on Instagram in Japanese, “The season is
approaching but I would like to announce to everyone that I have
gotten married.” He says his new wife is a “Japanese woman”
without identifying her. He says he will reveal more in an interview
on Friday. He's asked media to refrain from “conducting
unauthorized interviews.” The two-way star joined the Los Angeles
Dodgers in December on a $700 million, 10-year contract. The
29-year-old Ohtani is Japan’s biggest celebrity, and there has
always been curiosity around his personal life, which he has always
kept very private. His focus, and his image, has always been
100%-baseball focused — free of scandals or tabloid news.

Thursday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are planning an $800 million renovation to Arrowhead Stadium, the third-oldest stadium in the NFL, that would begin after the team plays host to games for the 2026 World Cup and take about four years to complete.

The project is contingent on the extension of a tax of three-eighth of a cent by voters in Jackson County, Missouri, on April 2. That money has been used for upkeep at Truman Sports Complex of Arrowhead and neighboring Kauffman Stadium, which the Royals intend to leave for a new downtown ballpark before the current lease expires after the 2030 season.

“We would not be willing to sign a lease for another 25 years without the financing to properly renovate and reimagine the stadium,” acknowledged Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, whose family would contribute $300 million toward the overall project. “So the financing puzzle is very important to us to make sure we have enough funds to do everything we've outlined.”

The scope of the renovation project, which was revealed Wednesday during a news conference at Arrowhead, would touch every aspect of the 52-year-old building, from the seating bowl to luxury amenities to the tailgating scene.

There would be a new parking deck built to help provide players, VIPs and other special guests with a better access point. New pedestrian bridges would help fans get from parking lots to the stadium. There would be new ribbon boards, the video boards at each end would triple and quadruple in size and the existing suites around the stadium would be renovated.

The two biggest changes to the stadium itself would come above it and below it.

For the first time since the stadium was built in 1972, the Chiefs are planning to build a 360-degree upper concourse, which would allow fans to more easily flow around the stadium. It would also create more food stations, restrooms and merchandise areas, and that would alleviate congestion elsewhere in the stadium.

In the end zones, the Chiefs are planning to excavate under the existing structure to create club spaces similar to those found at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where the Raiders play and the Chiefs recently won their third Super Bowl in the past five years.

“You sit on the field level of Allegiant Stadium and see that amazing end zone suite they have, and you say: ‘Wow. Too bad we can’t do that,'” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. “We found a way to do that, and not only bring you the best of the newest buildings in the NFL, but put it inside the iconic Arrowhead Stadium.”

Another big change would come outside the stadium, where the Chiefs envision a tailgating plaza built on the site of Kauffman Stadium. The covered area would provide a gathering space on game day but also could be used year-round for events.

The original plan for the Truman Sports Complex called for a rolling roof that could cover Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, but the structure was never built. The Chiefs revisited the idea of a roof over Arrowhead roughly two decades ago, when it underwent its last major renovation, but the public was skeptical of the project and the idea ultimately was scrapped.

Even though a roof conceivably could help Kansas City play host to the Super Bowl, Hunt said Wednesday it was never seriously considered for this round of renovations — and in fact, the team prefers to play outdoors in the elements.

“We certainly feel like it's a competitive advantage for us,” he said.

The Chiefs also considered a mixed-use development around Arrowhead, where there are few restaurants, hotels and entertainment options. But studies found that such an investment would not provide a positive financial return.

“This is not a location that is not worthy of developing,” Donovan said, “as harsh as that sounds.”

So, the scope of the project was narrowed to Arrowhead itself. Hunt said the goal is to maintain its history and mystique while providing fans with the amenities found in more modern stadiums across the NFL.

Too bad we can’t do that,'” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. “We found a way to do that, and not only bring you the best of the newest buildings in the NFL, but put it inside the iconic Arrowhead Stadium.”Another big change would come outside the stadium, where the Chiefs envision a tailgating plaza built on the site of Kauffman Stadium. The covered area would provide a gathering space on game day but also could be used year-round for events.The original plan for the Truman Sports Complex called for a rolling roof that could cover Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, but the structure was never built. The Chiefs revisited the idea of a roof over Arrowhead roughly two decades ago, when it underwent its last major renovation, but the public was skeptical of the project and the idea ultimately was scrapped.Even though a roof conceivably could help Kansas City play host to the Super Bowl, Hunt said Wednesday it was never seriously considered for this round of renovations — and in fact, the team prefers to play outdoors in the elements.“We certainly feel like it's a competitive advantage for us,” he said.The Chiefs also considered a mixed-use development around Arrowhead, where there are few restaurants, hotels and entertainment options. But studies found that such an investment would not provide a positive financial return.“This is not a location that is not worthy of developing,” Donovan said, “as harsh as that sounds.”So, the scope of the project was narrowed to Arrowhead itself. Hunt said the goal is to maintain its history and mystique while providing fans with the amenities found in more modern stadiums across the NFL.

Chiefs plan a $800 million renovation to Arrowhead Stadium after the 2026 World Cup

By BRANDON SMITH Barton Sports Info

Myles Thompson of the top ranked Barton Community College men's basketball team has been tabbed as the Week 14 Division I KJCCC Player of the Week.

Thompson nearly recorded his sixth double-double of the season in Barton's lone game of the week. Thompson finished with 15 points on 46.6 percent shooting with some key buckets down the stretch, but none bigger than his fourth offensive and ninth rebound hauled in forcing the Broncbusters to foul late. Going unnoticed on the stat sheet, the sophomore also drew a late game player control foul as the then-2nd ranked Cougars ran their winning streak to 17-straight with a 70-68 win.

The award marks Thompson's second of the year and the teams fifth overall award.

Two games up with three to play in the conference standings at 20-1, Barton has one regular season home contest left in between a pair of road contests in the hunt for its first conference title since the 2008-09 season.

The Cougars' quest for the title with the nation's top ranked bullseye attached begins Wednesday in a 7:30 p.m. tip at Dodge City Community College, a contest if victorious would secure at least a share of the title.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are releasing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday, giving the Super Bowl champions some much-needed salary cap flexibility.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs had not announced the move, which would save $12 million that they could use to shore up their offense or help keep defensive stars Chris Jones and L'Jarius Sneed next season.

The Chiefs gave Valdes-Scantling a three-year, $30 million deal two years ago in the hopes that Patrick Mahomes could turn the former Packers wide receiver into a viable deep threat. But while Valdes-Scantling had memorable moments in Kansas City, including a TD catch in the Super Bowl, he was plagued by dropped passes and never put up the numbers the Chiefs expected of him.

He had 42 catches for 687 yards and two scores in 2022 and only 21 catches for 315 yards and a touchdown this past season.

The release of Valdes-Scantling was widely expected given his overall lack of production and the other needs faced by the Chiefs as they retool their roster and begin pursuit of an NFL-record third consecutive Lombardi Trophy.

The Chiefs' defense, which largely shut down the 49ers in the Super Bowl, has several important pieces hitting free agency, headlined by Jones and Sneed. General manager Brett Veach said at the NFL scouting combine the team could use the franchise tag on one — Sneed is the more likely candidate — but that the Chiefs would try to secure long-term deals with both of them.

The deadline to use the franchise tag is Tuesday. If the Chiefs use it on Jones or Sneed but cannot work out a long-term deal with them, there is also the possibility that Kansas City would trade them for draft compensation.

“You’d like to be able to tag all the guys and pay all the guys, and it’s tough, because the more you win the more you have to pay players,” Veach said Tuesday. "And obviously, when you have this amount of success, you’re paying players a lot of money.”

Among the Chiefs' other free agents on the defense, safety Mike Edwards became an important player alongside Justin Reid after a season-ending injury to Bryan Cook; Drue Tranquill became a regular at linebacker after signing a one-year deal to come over from the AFC West-rival Chargers this past season; Willie Gay Jr. has proven to be their most athletic and versatile linebacker; and defensive linemen Tershawn Wharton, Derrick Nnadi and Mike Danna played important roles.

The Chiefs also have positions to address on offense.

Left tackle Donovan Edwards will be a free agent along with Nick Allegretti, who started in the Super Bowl in place of injured left guard Joe Thuney. Backup running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon, wide receivers Mecole Hardman and Richie James, tight end Blake Bell and backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert also are free agents.

Longtime long snapper James Winchester and punter Tommy Townsend also will be free agents, though the Chiefs already appear to have moved on from Townsend after signing Matt Araiza to a contract late last week.

Araiza was dropped from a lawsuit in December that had been filed by a woman who alleged she was raped by San Diego State football players in 2021. Veach said the Chiefs went through “a long process” before they were comfortable signing him.

Wednesday on Sports Day (Watch)

LAWRENCE, Kan. –Following Kansas’ first bowl win since 2008 and back-to-back bowl appearances for just the second time in program history, Director of Athletics Travis Goff announced today that Kansas Football Head Coach Lance Leipold has signed an amended contract, reflective of his overhaul of the Jayhawks over his first three seasons.

The new contract features a significant raise in his average salary to more than $7 million per year.

The new contract does not feature any new years in his deal that runs through 2029, but the raise from the $5 million he made in 2023 serves as another sign of Kansas' aggressive commitment to football in recent years under athletic director Travis Goff.

The raise elevates Leipold to the top three in average salary in the Big 12. Leipold is making nearly three times more than his initial salary at Kansas when he was hired from Buffalo late in the hiring cycle in 2021.

"Today’s announcement is an indicator of two absolute truths surrounding Kansas Football – Lance Leipold is among the very best coaches and leaders in the country and the University of Kansas continues to be unwavering in its commitment to building a championship-caliber football program for the long haul. Since Lance and his staff arrived in Lawrence, our program has seen exponential growth in every facet both on and off the field. Winning nine games and earning a bowl trophy is an incredible accomplishment, but we are equally proud of the team for earning the highest grade point average in program history. Every aspect of our program is on an unprecedented positive trajectory, and we are eager to continue this prodigious build with Lance."

TRAVIS GOFF, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Leipold is coming off his third season at the helm of the Jayhawks, having led Kansas to a 9-4 record in 2023, the program’s first nine-win season since 2007 and just its seventh nine-win season in program history. The historic season culminated in Kansas defeating UNLV in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on Dec. 26, 2023, Kansas’ first bowl victory since 2008.

"We are incredibly proud of what our football program has accomplished over the first three seasons in Lawrence, and look forward to the continued challenge of bringing a consistent winner and championship home to the University of Kansas. With the alignment that exists between Chancellor Girod, Travis Goff and Kansas Football, it gives us great confidence in the future of the Jayhawk program, and we are thankful and humbled by the support of the University and Kansas Jayhawk fans everywhere."

Since the start of the 2022 season, Kansas has been ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll six times, ranking as high as No. 19. Kansas was also ranked by the College Football Playoff Committee for the first time in program history in 2023 and made the playoff rankings three times during the 2023 season.

Under Leipold, Kansas has two wins against Top-25 opponents, including a 38-33 victory over No. 6 Oklahoma on Oct. 28, 2023, which was Kansas’ first win over a Top-10 conference opponent at home since 1984. In 2022, Kansas defeated No. 19 Oklahoma State to become bowl eligible, marking Kansas’ first win over a ranked opponent since 2010.

Kansas has seen unprecedented improvement under Leipold, as the Jayhawks finished the 2023 season ranked in the top-25 in total offense, passes intercepted, sacks allowed and more. Kansas also ranked in the top-10 in rushing offense, defensive touchdowns and 3rd down conversion rate.

Immediately following the 2023 season, construction began on the $448 million Gateway District and the reimagined David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, which Leipold and the Jayhawks will call home beginning in 2025. Upgrades to the team’s locker room and weight room have already taken place, while the team’s training hub, Anderson Family Football Complex, is currently under construction, undergoing major renovations and a significant expansion.

The momentum of Kansas Football under Leipold has transcended sport, serving as a catalyst for record-breaking University enrollment, heightened fan and alumni engagement and significant regional economic impact. Further, athletics fundraising has shattered records with $100 million raised in less than a year.

Kansas has seen dramatic improvement in attendance under Leipold, selling out seven of its last 12 home games. In 2023, combined attendance reached 321,219, which was the most in a season since 2008. David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium has also hosted ESPN’s College Gameday and FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff during the past two seasons. The Jayhawks are just one of six schools to host both national pregame shows.

The on-field success has carried into recruiting as well, as Leipold and his staff assembled the program’s highest rated signing day class during the 2023 early signing period. The Jayhawks have also set program GPA records in each of the last three semesters. This past fall, Kansas set a fall program record, attaining a 3.16 GPA in the classroom, while going 9-4 on the field. Over the past two seasons, Kansas has had four individuals named Academic All-Americans. From 1964-2021, the program had just 10 such honorees.

Leipold is set to enter his fourth season with the Jayhawks and is a six-time national champion and fastest coach in college football history to reach 100 career wins. His 17 wins over his first three seasons at KU are the most by a Jayhawk coach since J.V. Sikes won 18 games from 1948-1950. Leipold’s career head coaching record stands at 163-60, while he has led his teams to five bowl appearances, where he holds a 3-2 record all-time.

Tuesday Statewide Scores

The wins don't have to be pretty this time of the year. The madness got underway a few days early as the Great Bend boys played host to a Bishop Carroll team with just seven wins on the season in Tuesday's Class 5A playoff opener at Great Bend High School. Sophomores Daxton Minton and Ian Premer made big plays in the final seconds to secure a 54-51 win.

"The scouting report, they were all over," said Panther sophomore Jacob Hall, who scored 16 points in the win. "They're all shooters." 

The biggest shooter of the night proved to be Golden Eagle senior John Hauserman, who averaged just 11 points in his first 20 games of the season. He made four of his six 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter, including one to tie the game at 51 with 1:28 remaining.

Hauserman had made another three just 30 seconds earlier. Hall answered with a pass to Premer for an old-fashioned 3-point play and 51-48 Great Bend lead. The teams traded quick turnovers after Hauserman's final basket, and the Golden Eagles appeared content to run the final 57 seconds off the clock in search of a game-winning shot.

Enter Minton. Playing with four fouls, Minton picked Hauserman's pocket near the midcourt stripe. Minton missed his ensuing layup with Hauserman trailing, but Premer was there to clean it up with just 16 ticks left. The Panther pulled back ahead 53-51.

Minton's fifth foul put Hauserman on the free throw line with 9.8 seconds to play. After a delay, the team foul count was corrected to four Panther fouls, forcing a Golden Eagle inbounds play instead. Hall took a charge on the play to get the ball back to Great Bend. After a foul, Premer and headed to the other end to shoot free throws with 7.6 seconds remaining. He missed his first and made the second to bump the Panther lead to 54-51. Hauserman put up an off-balance, line-drive 3-point attempt to tie the game that rimmed off as the buzzer sounded.

Senior Mikey Brand, Bishop Carroll's leading scorer at 17 points a night, missed six game this season but came out firing with 11 points in the first quarter. Panther senior Carter Coombs provided the highlight of the opening frame with a behind-the-back pass into traffic to Hall, but Great Bend trailed 15-11 after one.

Brand picked up his 13th points of the night early in the second to extend the Bishop Carroll lead to 19-11. Premer got the crowd back into the game with his first dunk, and his second nearly four minutes later tied the score at 23. Coombs picked up another assist to senior Maddox Spray with three seconds left in the half to give the Panthers a 28-26 edge heading into the break.

Hall and senior Parker Dicks each hit threes in the third quarter, and Coombs dropped another assist to Premer for a 33-28 Panther lead. After scoring just four points in the first half, Hauserman warmed to a 7-point third quarter but Great Bend clung to a 40-37 lead with a quarter to play.

Brand did not score in the second half, finishing with 13 points for the Golden Eagles. Hauserman scored 14 of his game-high 27 points in the fourth quarter and added six rebounds.

Hall did a little of everything with 10 points in the first half, including a 4-of-5 effort from the charity stripe. With a pair of big threes in the second half, he finished with 16 points.

"As long as we kept the ball moving, everything was opening up if we used ball fakes," he said. "It was just all there."

Premer led the Panthers with 18 points, Spray scored 11 points, Coombs finished with six points, and Dicks had the one 3-pointer for his total.

The Panthers move their win streak to a season-best seven games. Great Bend (16-5) will play either Hutchinson or Goddard-Eisenhower Friday at Great Bend High School.

Larned Girls 65 Russell 33

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — BYU coach Mark Pope had just been given a technical foul late in the game, and the volume was quickly ramping up inside Allen Fieldhouse, where so many opponents over the years have wilted down the stretch against mighty Kansas.

Pope walked back to his huddle and realized something special about his players.

“They were the ones composed,” he said. “They were like, ‘Hey, we’re OK. Let's keep working.' And they did.”

Led by 18 points apiece from unflappable Dallin Hall and Jaxson Robinson, the Cougars wiped away a 12-point deficit and then held on for a 76-68 victory Tuesday night, ending the seventh-ranked Jayhawks' 19-game home winning streak.

“All of us are lifelong college basketball fans,” Pope said, “and this arena, this team, this coach, these players — you know, it's an all-time mecca. I think that's what makes this special. We talk about faith in our program, and certainly it is an important part of our university, and watching our guys' faith in each other tonight and faith in the process was special to watch.”

The Cougars (20-8, 8-7 Big 12) trailed 58-57 with 4:50 to go when Hall made two free throws for their first lead. A few minutes later, Noah Waterman hit a 3 to give BYU a 66-63 lead. And when Hunter Dickinson answered with a 3 for Kansas, Robinson hit two free throws and Hall made another 3 to send the Cougars to a win in their first trip to the Phog since 1971.

"They play hard and they challenged us on every front," Hall said, "but we responded and executed our game plan."

Dickinson had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Jayhawks (21-7, 9-6), who were just 3 of 15 from 3-point range and 19 for 31 at the foul line. Dajuan Harris Jr. added 12 points, KJ Adams Jr. scored 11 and Johnny Furphy finished with 10.

BYU won despite heavy foul trouble in part by going 13 of 34 from behind the 3-point arc.

“We played pitifully tonight, but when I say we played pitifully, I don't want to take something away from BYU,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “BYU was better than us. After we go up 12, the second half — they controlled it. We hoped to score. They actually ran offense to score. So give them credit. They caused us to look bad.”

Already playing without Kevin McCullar Jr., who missed his fifth game with a bruised knee, the Jayhawks experienced another scare when Nick Timberlake landed hard after going up for a rebound early in the game. The thud echoed through the fieldhouse, and Timberlake spent a couple of minutes in the locker room before eventually returning to the game.

Foul trouble hit BYU in the second half, when Hall picked up his fourth with 17:39 to go and Trevin Knell got his fourth — after a double-technical with Dickinson — just minutes later. But the Jayhawks were unable to take advantage at the offensive end, and that allowed the Cougars to stay within striking distance.

That's when Pope got called for his technical foul and the entire complexion of the game changed.

The poised Cougars suddenly began to rain 3-pointers, erasing a 56-50 deficit and taking their first lead at 59-58 on two free throws by Hall with 4:50 to play. Hall added two 3s of his own over the next few minutes, including one from the top of the key that gave the Big 12 newcomers a 71-66 lead with 1:31 remaining.

The Cougars were able to hold on the rest of the way for another signature win in their first season in the league.

“I've never seen an atmosphere quite like this,” Pope said afterward. “We're just really grateful we had an opportunity to come compete here. This is one of the meccas and we're just really fortunate to come away with a win.”

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP)
— Dylan Disu scored 21 points, Max Abmas added 18 and Texas rode a
big first half to a 81-69 victory over Texas Tech on Tuesday night in
a game that included a significant delay after fans threw objects
onto the floor. Midway through the second half Texas’ Brock
Cunningham delivered a hard check to Darrion Williams, knocking the
Red Raiders player out of bounds, resulting in Cunningham's ejection.
While officials were reviewing the play, objects including water
bottles were thrown onto the floor and again after Texas Tech was
given a technical for the fans' behavior. Pop Isaacs led Tech with 17
points.

UNDATED (AP) —
Four former or suspended Iowa State athletes are asking a judge to
throw out evidence in a state sports wagering investigation they say
was gathered illegally and to dismiss all charges against them.
Attorneys for former football players Isaiah Lee, Jirehl Brock and
Enyi Uwazurike and suspended wrestler Paniro Johnson on Tuesday filed
the motion to suppress in Story County. The four are among about two
dozen Iowa State and Iowa athletes criminally charged. They each face
a felony charge of identity theft and an aggravated misdemeanor
charge of tampering with records. The Iowa Department of Public
Safety has said it believes its methods stand up to legal scrutiny.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid walked to the podium Tuesday in
Indianapolis with a message that went beyond the football world. He
paid tribute to the woman who was killed two weeks ago at the city’s
Super Bowl celebration — and with togetherness and love tragedies
could be avoided in the future. It’s the first time since the Feb.
14 shooting that killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan and left 22 injured, that
anyone from the organization spoke publicly about the incident.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
(AP) — Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says he won't know
until next week at the earliest if he's moving on from quarterback
Russell Wilson. But Payton did hint at an upcoming split when he
suggested it's imperative for the team to hit on ‘the next one’
at quarterback. A solid starter has been elusive for the Broncos ever
since Peyton Manning's retirement in 2016. They've churned through 13
starting quarterbacks since then. Wilson was believed to be the
answer but he's won just 11 of 30 starts and was benched for Jarrett
Stidham in December.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
The Chicago Bears already faced this decision once — keep
quarterback Justin Fields or start anew with the No. 1 overall pick.
A year ago, they stuck with Fields and traded the pick to Carolina.
And what they do this time could have a serious impact on how the
draft goes as well as what other teams do with quarterbacks they
could deal. The list could include teams with the first four picks —
Chicago, Washington, New England and Arizona. It could even include
teams such as the New York Giants, Atlanta and Pittsburgh.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— Shohei Ohtani needed just three exhibition at-bats to show what a
$700 million man can do for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Japanese
star hit a two-run homer in his first game wearing Dodger blue,
working a full count in the fifth inning before blasting an opposite
field homer off righty Dominic Leone that just cleared the left-field
wall. Ohtani was hitless in his first two plate appearances, striking
out on four pitches in the first inning before hitting a hard
grounder into a double play in the third.

CARSON, Calif. (AP)
— The U.S. national team has fought for years to raise the level of
women’s soccer across the globe, but that doesn’t make its
inevitable losses to teams it once dominated any easier. The U.S.
fell 2-0 to Mexico at the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup. The loss was
only the second time Mexico has beaten the U.S. The only other Mexico
victory in the 43-game series was in 2010, a 2-1 win at a World Cup
qualifying match. Coming as it did after some difficult times for the
U.S. team, the most recent loss was inevitably going to raise
questions.

— Dallin Hall and Jaxson Robinson scored 18 points apiece as BYU
rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat seventh-ranked Kansas 76-68,
ending the Jayhawks’ 19-game home winning streak in their first
matchup as Big 12 foes. Hunter Dickinson had 17 points and 11
rebounds to lead the Jayhawks, who were just 3 of 15 from 3-point
range and 19 for 31 at the foul line. Dajuan Harris Jr. added 12
points, KJ Adams Jr. scored 11 and Johnny Furphy finished with 10 for
Kansas. BYU won despite heavy foul trouble in part by going 13 of 34
from behind the 3-point arc. It was the Cougars' first game at Allen
Fieldhouse since 1971.HOUSTON (AP) —
L.J. Cryer scored 22 points, J’Wan Roberts added 15 and top-ranked
Houston won its sixth straight game by beating Cincinnati 67-59. One
day after ascending to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for the first time this
season, the Cougars extended their conference lead to 1 1/2 games
over Iowa State. They've won 21 consecutive home games, the longest
active streak in the nation. Cryer had 15 points in the first half
and Houston led 26-17 at the break. Emanuel Sharp scored 11 points
and Jamal Shead finished with nine points and 11 assists for the
Cougars. Viktor Lakhin and Simas Lukosius each scored 11 for

Tuesday on Sports Day (Watch)

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid walked to the podium Tuesday in Indianapolis with a message that went beyond the football world.

He paid tribute to the woman who was killed two weeks ago at the city's Super Bowl celebration — and wanted everyone to know that what happened in not representative of the city he calls home.

It's the first time since the Feb. 14 shooting that killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan and left 22 injured that anyone from the organization spoke publicly about the incident.

“I want to share my condolences for the Galvan and Lopez family for their loss of Lisa, and for the people of Kansas City,” Reid said as he opened his news conference at the NFL's annual scouting combine. "She was a personality there, and a very good human being, first of all. We’ll all miss her, as I know her family will.”

Two people, Dominic M. Miller and Lyndell Mays, have been charged with second-degree murder.

But Reid also used the league's second-biggest offseason stage to suggest how tragedies such as the one that rocked Kansas City can be avoided.
