LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — 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 Cincinnati, which has lost five of six. The Bearcats went 5 of 19 on 3s.
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.
