PROVO, Utah (AP) —
Kansas has reached a low point with its uncharacteristic struggles in
Big 12 play. The No. 23 Jayhawks lost 91-57 to BYU on Tuesday night,
matching their largest margin of defeat in Bill Self’s tenure,
after previously losing 85-51 to USC in the second round of the 2021
NCAA Tournament. It also marked the first time Kansas — the
preseason No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll — lost by 30-plus points
against an unranked team since the poll began in 1948. The Jayhawks
have not led through their last 80 minutes of basketball after also
falling to Utah 74-67 on Saturday. They have lost four of six games
since the start of February.

AMES, Iowa (AP) —
Milan Momcilovic and Dishon Jackson scored 13 points each as No. 8
Iowa State beat Colorado 79-65 for the Cyclones’ third victory of
the season against the Buffaloes. The Cyclones also beat the Buffs
99-71 at the Maui Invitational in November and 79-69 in Boulder in
December. Joshua Jefferson and Tamin Lipsey added 12 points each and
Nate Heise scored a season-high 11 points off the bench. Bangot Dak
scored a career-high 20 points to lead the Buffaloes and Harrison
Carrington added 11.

FORT WORTH, Texas
(AP) — Noah Reynolds scored 16 points, including the last seven for
TCU as the Horned Frogs beat ninth-ranked Texas Tech 69-66. Reynolds’
turnaround jumper with 11.6 seconds left was the first field goal in
more than four minutes for the 15-11 Horned Frogs, and put them up
five points. Trazarien White also had 16 points for TCU. Ernest Udeh
Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Darrion Williams had 21 points to
lead the 20-6 Red Raiders. Chance McMillian had 19 points while JT
Toppin had his fourth consecutive double-double with 14 points and 11
rebounds.

AMES, Iowa (AP) —
Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard has unveiled a master plan
for a 94-acre multi-use development between the schools' football
stadium and basketball arena. It will be called CyTown and is
scheduled to open in fall 2027. The development was announced in
2022. It will be open to the general public year-round and the hub of
activity on football game days. Construction cost is estimated at
$175-225 million. Plans call for a McFarland Clinic medical facility,
seven-story hotel, amphitheater, office and retail space and
restaurants.

BOSTON (AP) — The
general manager of the U.S. team in the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey
tournament said he would welcome a visit from President Donald Trump
to the championship game between the United States and Canada on
Thursday night. NHL veteran Bill Guerin said on Fox News that Trump’s
presence would give a boost to the rivalry between the North American
hockey powers. He said the political tension between Canada and the
U.S., which caused fans in Montreal to boo “The Star-Spangled
Banner” prior to two games last week, ratcheted up the intensity in
their fight-filled matchup in the preliminary round.

PALM BEACH GARDENS,
Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods had what he called the most embarrassing
moment of his golf career. The 15-time major champion was competing
for his Jupiter Links team in a TGL indoor match against New York
Golf Club. In singles on the 13th hole, Woods had 199 yards left to
the hole. He asked for the yardage and was told 99. Caddies often
drop the first number when it's obvious. But apparently it wasn't
obvious to Woods. His teammates knew something was wrong, but it was
too late. Woods hit a perfectly good wedge 100 yards as his teammates
howled with laughter.

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) —
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. plans to become a free agent after the season
following the passing of his deadline to reach a long-term agreement
with the Toronto Blue Jays. A four-time All-Star at age 25, Guerrero
said during the offseason he would cut off negotiations when he
reported for spring training. He says: “We never got to the point
where I felt like I wanted to do the deal.” Guerrero has a $28.5
million, one-year contract. He hit .323 last season with a .940 OPS,
30 homers and 103 RBIs.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— Shohei Ohtani threw his second bullpen session of spring training
on Tuesday. That continued the process of his return to the mound for
the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani had his first bullpen session on
Saturday. He hopes to pitch this season for the first time since Aug.
23, 2023, with the Los Angeles Angels. Ohtani underwent elbow surgery
that limited him to hitting only last season with the Dodgers. Ohtani
won his third MVP award while becoming the first player to join the
50/50 club with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases as the Dodgers won
the World Series.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) —
A person with direct knowledge of the situation says Justin Turner
has agreed to a $6 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs. The
person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because it was pending a physical. The veteran infielder
can earn an additional $2.5 million in bonuses. The addition of
Turner would give the team some security at third base should Matt
Shaw need more seasoning in the minors. The 23-year-old Shaw has been
slowed by a left oblique issue in spring training. The 40-year-old
Turner also could back up Michael Busch at first base and go into the
lineup at designated hitter.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
(AP) — After turning the New York Mets into baseball’s biggest
spender, owner Steve Cohen would like to see his team build more
economically through its farm system. Cohen said Tuesday he'd “like
to get below the Cohen tax,” referring to the fourth luxury tax
threshold introduced in 2022 and aimed at him. The World Series
champion Los Angeles Dodgers led with a $353 million tax payroll last
year and paid a $103 million tax. The Mets were second at just under
$348 million and paid $97 million in tax. Cohen says, “I’m a
piker now compared to the Dodgers.”

Monday Statewide Scores

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Ezra Ausar had 21 points and Lawson Lovering posted a double-double to help Utah hold on for a 74-69 victory over Kansas State on Monday night.

Ausar made 7 of 14 shots and all seven of his free throws, adding eight rebounds for the Utes (15-11, 7-8 Big 12 Conference). Lovering totaled 15 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double this season. Gabe Madsen added 13 points.

Brendan Hausen scored 17 to lead the Wildcats (13-13, 7-8), who have lost two straight following a six-game win streak. Max Jones and Dug McDaniel both scored 13 with McDaniel adding six assists.

Lovering had nine points for Utah and Jones scored 10 for Kansas State in a first half that ended in a 32-32 tie.

Utah scored the first seven points of the second half to grab the lead. A Lovering dunk upped the Utes' advantage to 46-37 with 14:36 left to play. Madsen hit a 3-pointer to give Utah a 57-50 lead with 5:22 left, but Hausen hit a 3-pointer and two free throws as the Wildcats scored the next seven points to tie it with 3:25 remaining.

It was 59-all when Miro Little scored in the paint for Utah and Madsen followed with a 3-pointer. Jones had a layup with 15 seconds left to get the Wildcats within two, but the Utes made 3 of 4 foul shots in the final 12 seconds to wrap up the win.

Utah outrebounded K-State 51-28. The Utes had 21 rebounds at the offensive end, leading to 14 second-chance points.

WACO, Texas (AP) —
Tobe Awaka had 14 points and 12 rebounds as No. 19 Arizona moved into
second place alone in the Big 12 Conference with a 74-67 win at
Baylor. Caleb Love and Henri Veesaar each had 13 points for the 18-8
Wildcats. Their back-to-back losses last week to Kansas State and No.
5 Houston dropped them six spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll earlier
Monday. VJ Edgecombe scored 24 points for the 16-10 Bears. Norchad
Omier had his 82nd career double-double with 15 points and 13
rebounds.

UNDATED (AP) —
Auburn is No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll
for the sixth consecutive week. The Tigers claimed 59 of 60
first-place votes in the latest poll after beating then-No. 1 Alabama
on the road. Florida claimed the other first-place vote and broke
last week's tie with Duke to move up to second. The Southeastern
Conference has a national-best nine ranked teams. No. 25 Louisville
returned to the poll for the week's only new addition.

UNDATED (AP) —
Notre Dame is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 women’s
basketball poll for the first time since 2019. Texas moved up to
second for its best ranking since 2017. UCLA had been No. 1 for 12
straight weeks after beating South Carolina in late November but the
Bruins are now third in the rankings. USC moved up to fourth and
UConn is fifth after routing then-No. 4 South Carolina.

UNDATED (AP) —
There’s one month until the NCAA Tournament selection show and
there are still many teams battling to get off the bubble and into
the field. South Florida (18-8) has won seven straight games,
including a triple-overtime victory over Rice last week, to get into
the at-large conversation if the Bulls don’t win the conference
tournament. They face Charlotte and Memphis this week. Jose
Fernandez’s team needed overtime to beat Charlotte the first time
they met. It's a key weekend in the Ivy League and Atlantic-10 for
teams looking to keep their NCAA hopes going.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Owen Larson called it when he said his dad wouldn’t win
the Daytona 500 because “he probably needs to try really hard
because he’s not good at superspeedway racing.” The 10-year-old
was right in his assessment. Kyle Larson can win just about anywhere
in any type of car. But when it comes to Daytona and Talladega,
NASCAR’s 2021 Cup Series champion is a disaster. Larson dropped to
0 for 22 at Daytona International Speedway when he finished 20th in
Sunday night’s Daytona 500. Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman Jeff
Gordon is a three-time Daytona 500 winner who believes the lack of
success on superspeedways is “getting in his head.”

FORT WORTH, Texas
(AP) — Cam Ward says not playing in the second half of Miami's bowl
game was a predetermined decision and that he'd do it the same way
again. The quarterback could be the first player taken in the NFL
draft. He accepted the Davey O'Brien Award on Monday night as the top
college quarterback. He hasn't decided if he will throw at the NFL
combine next week. Ward was showered with online criticism suggesting
that he quit on the Hurricanes after he didn’t play the second half
of the Pop-Tarts Bowl in December. They lost to Iowa State after he
broke the NCAA Division I record for career touchdown passes.

FORT MYERS, Fla.
(AP) — The Red Sox’s ballyhooed signing of Alex Bregman was met
with considerable resistance Monday when Rafael Devers said he
wouldn’t cede third base. Devers is a three-time All-Star and has
played the hot corner for Boston since 2017 and himself received a
major deal just two years ago. The Red Sox signed Bregman on Saturday
to a three-year, $120 million contract that includes a $5 million
signing bonus. A two-time All-Star, Bregman has hit more than 20 home
runs each of the past three seasons.

Keliza Smith's pair of program history impacts highlighted the Barton Community College track and field team program's performances this weekend competing in the Tyson Invitational held at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

Previously nationally qualified in three events, Smith competed in all three of the two-day meet improving two of her event times. Most notably, Smith's 200m racing to a 23.54 10th place clocking moved up from 5th to 3rd on the program's all-time fastest. Kayda Austin also bettered her national qualifying time by clocking a 24.38 to place 33rd overall in the 64-entry field.

Smith's anchor leg of the nation's leading 4x400m squad of Natasha Fox, Austin, and Shone Walters, brought home the baton in 3:44.42 as the time checked into the 10th slot of the program's all-time best.

The Cougars reset seven combined season or season best performances with Asharria Ulett coming away with the lone event victory by bettering the twenty-six member, four-year level field on an 8.57 clocking as fellow national qualifier Ty'yanah Adams placed 14th at 8.80.

The meet served as the final tune-up prior to the indoor post-season beginning February 22 in Pittsburg for the KJCCC/Region 6 Championships. National qualifiers throughout the season then advance to the NJCAA Championships held March 7-8 in Lubbock, Texas.

Additional improvements, each coming from previously national qualified individuals, were Fox in the 400m (56.02), Chloe Perryman's season best long jump (5.69m, 19-08.00), and Kymia Bridgett in the triple jump (11.74m, 38-6.25).

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Kansas City extended executive vice president and general manager J.J. Picollo's contract through 2030 with a club option for the following year, the Royals announced Monday.

The club also exercised manager Matt Quatraro’s option for the 2026 season.

“J.J. is one of the top executives in baseball, and I am proud that he’s leading our pursuit of a championship,” Royals owner John Sherman said in a statement. “His ability to lead and connect with people, his intellectual curiosity, and his innovative methods of combining the best of traditional scouting and player development with advanced sciences and technologies are driving us toward that ultimate goal.”

The Royals promoted Picollo, now in his 19th year with the team, to GM in 2021 and added the executive VP title a year later.

He spent more than $110 million in free agency after the 2023 season and agreed to a club-record contract extension with Bobby Witt Jr. that pays $288.7 million over 11 years. There is a three-year option that would bring the total to $377 million.

After those moves, the Royals went 87-76 last season and made the playoffs, just the third team to ever appear in the postseason a year after losing at least 100 games. Kansas City also became just the sixth team since the schedule expanded to 162 games in 1961 to make a 30-victory improvement.

Picollo was second in the voting for Executive of the Year.

“Leading the Royals’ baseball operations is an honor that I take seriously every day,” Picollo said in a statement. “(Quatraro) helps push us in so many ways, particularly with collaboration between departments and constantly seeking new answers, so I’m thrilled that he will be with us into the future. John’s confidence in how we operate is humbling and only adds to our collective focus on adding to what the Royals mean to Kansas City and giving our fans a championship team to root for.”

Monday on Sports Day(Watch)


UNDATED (AP) — UCLA, South Carolina, Texas and Notre Dame would be
the No. 1 seeds in the women’s NCAA Tournament if it began now. The
NCAA basketball selection committee on Sunday did its first reveal of
the teams in line for the top 16 seeds. The top 16 seeds in the
68-team field will host first- and second-round games, with the
regional rounds being played at two neutral sites for the third
straight year. Spokane, Washington, will host half of the Sweet 16
and Birmingham, Alabama, will host the other eight teams. UCLA and
Notre Dame were projected as the top seeds in the Spokane Regional,
with South Carolina and Texas in Birmingham.


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla (AP) — William Byron raced to his second
straight Daytona 500 victory, dodging a string of late-race wrecks
that knocked out a chunk of contenders and sent the Hendrick
Motorsports driver into victory lane Sunday night at Daytona
International Speedway. Ninth in the No. 24 Chevrolet with one lap
left, Byron became the first back-to-back winner since Denny Hamlin
in 2019-20. Byron took advantage of another wreck on the final lap —
NASCAR did not drop the caution and let the field race to the finish
— and took another, familiar burnout in Daytona International
Speedway. The 27-year-old Byron held on to win after two weather
delays totaling more than 3 1/2 hours.


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Denny Hamlin surged into the lead on the
final lap of the Daytona 500 and thought he had a fourth victory in
“The Great American Race” within his reach Sunday night.
Especially when Riley Herbst went spinning through the infield grass.
Hamlin figured NASCAR was for sure going to throw a caution,
especially after the Xfinity Series race a day earlier ended under
yellow. But when Herbst was able to save his Toyota, NASCAR didn’t
need to throw the caution and Hamlin wound up collected in the
inevitable crash that comes from drivers making desperate moves. He
was three-wide in the middle when Cole Custer wiggled into Hamlin’s
car to trigger a race-deciding crash. Hamlin wound up 24th and
William Byron won Daytona for the second consecutive year.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The winning total last year: 211 points. The
winning total this year: 41 points. An All-Star Game like none other
— since it was three games, not one — still had plenty of flash
and not a lot of fire. And in the end, Jayson Tatum had the dunk that
decided a crown. Shaq’s OGs won the first All-Star mini-tournament
in NBA history on Sunday night, getting 15 points from Tatum and 12
from Stephen Curry to beat Chuck’s Global Stars 41-25 in the final.
It was the debut of the All-Star mini-tournament format: four teams,
three games, first to 40 points wins.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry has captured MVP honors at the
All-Star Game in front of his home fans, in his arena. Curry earned
all this well-deserved fanfare in what has been a remarkable run from
Oakland to San Francisco for the Golden State Warriors star. Curry
scored the first points of the final on a 3-pointer and later
connected from half-court, running down the other way to chest-bump
rapper Mistah Fab along one baseline. He helped Shaq’s OGs beat
Chuck’s Global Stars 41-25, scoring 12 points on four 3-pointers.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The verdicts were mixed, as would be expected.
The NBA’s All-Star Game mini-tournament is now complete, Shaq’s
OGs getting the win in the four-team, three-game event where the
first squad to score 40 points in each game got the victory. Some
players liked it. Some didn’t. Some seemed ambivalent. It was
entertaining and had moments where things turned competitive, though
tended to lean toward more of the same highlight-reel-type play that
has been the norm in All-Star Games for years.


SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ludvig Aberg left Torrey Pines feeling as bad as
possible with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He
returned three weeks later as a winner. The Swede birdied four of the
last six holes for a 66 to track down Maverick McNealy and win the
Genesis Invitational. The tournament normally is held at Riviera but
moved to Torrey Pines because of the LA wildfires. Torrey had
everything in place from the Farmers Insurance Open last month.
McNealy shot 64 and had a three-shot lead until Aberg rallied.
Scottie Scheffler shot 66 and tied for third.


SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods says golf is in a positive place when
it comes to negotiating with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf. He
expects the game to heal quickly when they get a deal. Woods was at
Torrey Pines for his duties as tournament host of the Genesis
Invitational. He's part of the negotiations between the tour and the
Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. Woods says a deal will get
the game going in the right direction. He says the fans want to see
all the best players competing against each other and the plan is to
make that happen.


TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is
uncertain for opening day because of chronic tendinitis in both
elbows. Yankees manager Aaron Boone made the announcement as position
players reported ahead of the first full-squad workout Monday. Asked
whether it could impact Stanton’s availability for the March 27
opener against Milwaukee, Boone responded: “Tough to say.” In
addition, outfielder Trent Grisham pulled a hamstring a few weeks ago
in training but is running at close to full speed.


JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan
Arenado reported to spring training on Sunday, showing up to play for
a team that tried to trade him. The eight-time All-Star and 10-time
Gold Glove winner is coming off a season that was not up to his
standards, hitting .272 with 16 home runs and 71 RBIs. Arenado is
owed $74 million for the next three seasons. The Cardinals could not
move him and his contract, which gives Arenado a full no-trade
provision. He said there were about five teams he would consider
going to, noting he would have to pick up his family and move them
and that “it has to be something that is worth it.”


AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes scored a Division
I women’s freshman record 55 points in a 98-88 overtime victory
over Auburn. Blakes, a 5-foot-8 guard who is averaging 21.8 points,
shot 15 for 28 from the field with two 3-pointers and made 23 of 24
free throws. She broke the record set by Elena Delle Donne, who
scored 54 as a redshirt freshman at Delaware in a 2010 loss to James
Madison. Blakes scored her 55th point from the foul line with 17
seconds left in OT. She then missed her next free throw, the only
miss in 24 attempts. She scored 11 of her points in overtime.

Monday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Quincy Ballard scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half and overtime to help Wichita State beat No. 14 Memphis 84-79 on Sunday.

Bijan Cortes hit a 3 to give the Shockers a 78-77 lead with 1:10 remaining in OT. Wichita State never relinquished the lead from that point.

Wichita State (15-10, 5-7 AAC) won its fourth-straight game and first over a ranked opponent in the regular season since 2021. The Shockers had five players in double figures. Corey Washington had a double-double with 18 points and 15 rebounds.

The Tigers (21-5, 11-2) saw their eight-game winning-streak end. Tyrese Hunter led the Tigers with 24 points. Moussa Cisse had a double-double for Memphis with 12 points and 14 rebounds.

MONTREAL (AP) — Canada and Sweden traded chances back and forth, skating up and down the ice for 3-on-3 overtime that provided dazzling entertainment in the opener of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/4-nations-faceoff-f385af283d8bebedd557163813fd126d">the 4 Nations Face-Off</a>.

By the time&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-sweden-score-85c434dd5cc22fa8397c2b9d5d1b1d21">Mitch Marner scored the winner</a>&nbsp;for Canada, more than six minutes had elapsed. Had it been during the NHL regular season, the horn would have sounded at the 5-minute mark and the game decided in a shootout.

Extending OT to 10 minutes is one of the experiments taking place at the tournament that could go into use as soon as next season. There’s still plenty of debate over whether it should, and Marner’s goal made it a hot topic in Montreal.

“I don’t know. It’s a good question,” Finland captain Aleksander Barkov said Thursday. “Obviously there’s a lot of games — 82 regular-season games — and on top of it, if you keep adding longer and longer overtimes, I don’t know how guys would take that. I’m fine with how it is right now.”

Canada’s Nathan MacKinnon, who played more than a third of OT, said the discussion even came up in Canada’s locker room on Wednesday night. His answer about 10-minute overtimes becoming a reality in the NHL was clearer than he could see by the end of that game.

“No. No. No,” MacKinnon said. “I was happy when Marner scored because I didn’t have much left to give, so 5 to 7 would be good.”

Changing the rules would require an agreement between the league and Players’ Association, though it’s good timing for that with collective bargaining talks ongoing and official negotiations on the horizon. Adding more of a workload without extra pay is a strike against extending OT, and it would tax the top players more than others.

“I like it as far as I think it’s more fun, overtime,” U.S. goaltender Jake Oettinger said. “You have to ask the top players that would be playing extra minutes, I think, for them, but I vote yes on it. I think it’s great.”

It would also increase the likelihood of games ending before a shootout, which Canada’s Mark Stone called “a glorified skills competition.” Self-professed shootout-hating U.S. defenseman Zach Werenski would prefer that but is concerned at the potential consequences.

“In overtime, usually your top guys are going and if it’s a back to back or whatnot, obviously it takes a lot out of you,” Werenski said. “It was something to mess around with, I think, especially maybe preseason or something just to see how guys feel. I wouldn’t be opposed to going to 10 minutes. I just don’t like shootouts that much.”

The NHL is also using the tournament to try adding 30 seconds to each of the three television timeouts every period and subtracting a minute from each of the two intermissions. Canada coach Jon Cooper isn’t sure about how much of an impact that might have, if any.

“TV timeouts are long as it is,” Cooper said. “Can you recharge some of your top-end players? Of course you can. But then what does it do to the guys that haven’t been out there, haven’t been out before the TV timeout? And now you’ve got to wait through that. It’s kind of the double-edged sword in that part.”

The 4 Nations is also using the international system of awarding three points for a regulation win, two for an overtime or shootout win, one for an overtime or shootout loss and none for a regulation loss.

“I feel like it makes a bigger difference in the end,” Sweden’s Lucas Raymond said. “I’m used to it back in Sweden when I was playing, it was always a three-point system. It’s a little bit different, but it for sure brings a bigger impact.”

Changing the point system is the least likely thing for the NHL. When asked about it, Commissioner Gary Bettman has said there is not much of an appetite to abandon the current format of two points for a win of any kind and one for an overtime or shootout loss.
