🎧 LISTEN: HutchCC Men's basketball coach Tommy DeSalme postgame after win over Colby

BY Hutchinson CC Sports Information

The No. 22-ranked Hutchinson Community College men's basketball team hopes to continue a strong KJCCC win over Dodge City and a 49-point victory on Tuesday over Labette into something even larger with a Sunday matinee against the Colby Trojans.

The Blue Dragons and Trojans tip off at 4 p.m. on Sunday at the Hutchinson Sports Arena. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the snowstorm that struck the state on Saturday forced the game to be moved back a day.

The game will be broadcast live on Blue Dragon flagship station <a href="https://streamdb5web.securenetsystems.net/v5/KHUT">KHUT-FM (102.9)</a> with Glen Grunwald (PBP) and Dan Naccarato (color) calling the action. The game will be streamed live and free on the Blue Dragon Sports Network. The broadcasts begin at 3:45 p.m.

The Blue Dragons have played strong on the defensive end of the floor all season long, but the last two outings have been stellar for Hutchinson.

The Blue Dragons have allowed only 63.5 points per game in the last two games, including a season-low 54-point output by Labette on Tuesday at the Sports Arena. The Dragons have allowed just 38.4 percent overall shooting and forced 22.5 turnovers in double-figure victories over Dodge City and Labette.

Only 3 of 7 opponents have broken 80 points this season against the Blue Dragons.

Offensively, sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/mbkb/2023-24/bios/thomas_kamryn_j9zm">Kamryn Thomas</a>&nbsp;is Hutchinson's leading scorer at 15.6 points per game. Thomas has been sizzling from the 3-point line in the last two games, hitting 8 of his last 10 shots from distance over the past two games.

Hutchinson has been balanced offensively with five players averaging in double figures. The Blue Dragons are shooting 48.0 percent from the floor and are averaging 7.7 made 3-pointers per game.

The Blue Dragons take on a Colby team that has started conference play 0-2 with losses to Garden City and Dodge City. The Trojans' last win was a 73-72 victory over Northeastern Junior College on November 14.

The Trojans average 7.0 made 3-pointers per game and are fourth in the KJCCC in 3-point efficiency at 35.0 percent.

The Blue Dragons have won five games in a row in the series against Colby. Hutchinson sweep last year's season series. The Dragons won 96-81 on December 12, 2022 at the Sports Arena and 89-67 in February at Colby.

TOPEKA —&nbsp;St. Thomas Aquinas coach Randy Dreiling etched his name into history in the Class 4A state championship game against Andover Central.Dreiling won his ninth state championship and tied former Kapaun Mt. Carmel coach Ed Kriwiel for most all-time state titles by a head coach in Kansas in a 35-7 victory at Hummer Sports Park. I

t was Aquinas’ first state championship since 2018 when the Saints defeated Wichita Northwest for the Class 5A title.&nbsp;Dreiling said winning this state championship was a little bit snowier, due to snow that fell for a majority of the game. However, he added each one is totally separate in of itself.“They all feel pretty good,” said Dreiling, who won his second state title with Aquinas. “This was a special journey for these seniors. It’s awesome that they were able to put this together and get it done.“We had a lot of guys that persevered.”Aquinas went to its specialty in the flexbone —&nbsp;running the football —&nbsp; with snow falling to the ground, and the Saints ran for 367 of their 397 yards of total offense. 

No matter what the weather is doing, the Saints will run the football.&nbsp;“If it’s 105, it’s pound time,” Dreiling said. “That’s what we do. It’s been pretty successful.”After returning for the postseason following an early season injury, Aquinas senior Gianni Rizzi put on a show in his final high school game. Rizzi ran for 171 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns of five and eight yards, both coming in the second quarter after Andover Central cut the deficit to 13-7.&nbsp;

St. Thomas Aquinas senior running back Gianni Rizzi runs the ball against Andover Central during the Class 4A state championship game at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka.“I wanted to go out on a high note and we did,” Rizzi said. “We knew we were the tougher team. They’re a great team. They played hard, but we had the talent and we have the courage and everything we wanted to go through and win.”&nbsp;Dreiling said when Rizzi returned from injury, he made an impact helping the Saints knock off Bishop Miege in the regional round.&nbsp;“When Rizzi came back, (that’s) why we got everything going again,” Dreiling said. “(Hunter) Richardson and (Gavin) Middenhorf did a good job filling in when he was gone.”&nbsp;

Aquinas jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a 1-yard touchdown run by senior Aiden Skinner and a 15-yard touchdown run by junior William Callahan. Andover Central made it 13-7 with 10:16 left in the second quarter on a 14-yard touchdown run by junior Maddox Archibald.&nbsp;Aquinas got a second touchdown from Callahan, with a 7-yard run with 37 seconds left in the third.Andover Central threw three interceptions on the afternoon that resulted in 14 points for Aquinas.&nbsp;

Even though it was Andover Central’s fourth state runner-up in program history and second since 2021, coach Derek Tuttle was proud of his team making it back to state.“The best thing they showed throughout the month of November I thought was their heart (and) playing with a lot of energy,” Tuttle said. “Playing with heart and desire. There are a lot of great kids here.“We had a little trouble cutting in the snow with some of the routes and stuff. They had to play in it too. Just (a) tough day all around for us.”&nbsp;

Andover Central finished with 111 yards of total offense with Archibald having 43 yards on 11 carries and a score.&nbsp;After a two-year stint as a Class 4A program, the Saints will return to being a Class 5A program in 2024. Andover Central will regroup looking for its first ever state championship in program history in 2024.&nbsp;

🏈 Saturday's KSHSAA state championship results

AP Sports Summary for November 26th, 2023.

No. 3 Michigan beats No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 for 3rd straight win in rivalry

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — With Jim Harbaugh nowhere in sight and a scandal hanging over their heads, J.J. McCarthy and No. 3 Michigan stared down No. 2 Ohio State and ran the school's win streak against the Buckeyes to three games with a 30-24 victory in maybe the most consequential game in the history of the storied rivalry. Michigan's Rod Moore intercepted Kyle McCord's wobbly pass intended for All-American Marvin Harrison Jr. at the Wolverines' 21-yard line with 25 seconds left, setting off a wild celebration on the home team's sideline. Michigan is headed to the Big Ten championship game for the third straight year. Harbaugh was serving the last of a three-game suspension handed down by the Big Ten for an alleged sign-stealing scheme.

Ryan Day's decisions may haunt him after No. 3 Michigan beats No. 2 Ohio State for 3rd straight year

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Ryan Day's decisions in The Game may haunt him. Again. No. 3 Michigan beat No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 Saturday, making the most of aggressive calls by fill-in coach Sherrone Moore and taking advantage of Day's approach that seemed conservative at times. The Buckeyes will have until next Sunday to find out if they'll be fortunate enough to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff as they were last year after losing to Michigan. Day defended his decisions after the game, but he can't ignore his 1-3 record against Michigan after his predecessors owned the Wolverines.

Milroe's TD pass to Bond on fourth-and-31 rescues No. 8 Alabama in 27-24 win over Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jalen Milroe and Isaiah Bond rescued No. 8 Alabama's playoff hopes, connecting for a last-minute touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 31 to beat Auburn 27-24. Bond caught Milroe's desperation heave in the left corner of the end zone with 32 seconds left to give the Crimson Tide a 10th straight win in the latest dramatic Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama gets to face No. 1 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game with its playoff hopes intact. Auburn was a 12 1/2-point underdog but nearly pulled off the upset in coach Hugh Freeze's first Iron Bowl.

AP Top 25 Takeaways: Back door to the College Football Playoff is likely to be blocked this season

The back door to the College Football playoff is unlikely to be open for Ohio State or anybody else this championship weekend. With No. 4 Washington and No. 8 Alabama dodging the upset bug against unranked in-state rivals, next weekend's conference title games are all setting up to have at least one playoff contender. In the Big Ten, that's No. 3 Michigan after the Wolverines beat the second-ranked Buckeyes for a third straight season. Oregon also has a chance to make the playoff in the Pac-12, and Texas could get there out of the Big 12. Alabama would have to beat No. 1 Georgia.

No. 4 Washington finishes perfect regular season with 24-21 win over Washington State in Apple Cup

SEATTLE (AP) — Grady Gross made a 42-yard field goal on the final play, Rome Odunze caught two touchdown passes from Michael Penix Jr. and No. 4 Washington beat Washington State 24-21 in the Apple Cup for an undefeated regular season. Odunze caught a 40-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and hauled in a 21-yarder on the final play of the third to give the Huskies a 21-14 lead. In the final year of the Pac-12 before most of its members scatter, Washington (12-0, 9-0) became the first school in the 12-team era to go unbeaten in the regular season. The Huskies will face No. 6 Oregon in the Pac-12 championship game Friday in Las Vegas with a victory likely putting Washington into the College Football Playoff.

Benavidez stops Andrade after six rounds, calls for fight with super middleweight champ Canelo

LAS VEGAS (AP) — David Benavidez retained the interim world super middleweight belt by stopping Demetrius Andrade after the sixth round Saturday night. In what was billed as clash of styles that could go the distance between unbeaten 168-pounders, Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) looked more like a clinician with a dominating performance before Andrade's requested stoppage after the sixth round. Andrade (32-1) suffered the first loss of his career. Benavidez is widely recognized as the world's best super middleweight after Canelo Alvarez. Immediately after his win he called for a match against Alvarez to unify the super middleweight title.

Milton runs for 156 yards and 2 TDs, No. 1 Georgia holds off Georgia Tech 31-23

ATLANTA (AP) — Kendall Milton ran for a career-high 156 yards and two touchdowns and No. 1 Georgia held on late to beat Georgia Tech 31-23 and cap its third consecutive undefeated regular season with its sixth straight win in the state rivalry. Georgia extended its school-record winning streak to 29 games. The Bulldogs have won 19 of the last 22 against Georgia Tech. Georgia protected its hopes of becoming the first team to win three straight national championships in The Associated Press poll era.

Sinner enjoys double success over Djokovic to lead Italy into the Davis Cup final

MALAGA, Spain (AP) — Jannik Sinner has secured back-to-back wins over top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the singles and doubles to lead Italy into the Davis Cup final after rallying past Serbia 2-1. Djokovic had his country on the cusp of the final when he faced Sinner in the second singles match with Serbia leading 1-0. But the fourth-ranked Sinner saved three consecutive match points before ending Djokovic's streak of 21 straight wins in Davis Cup singles matches, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, to pull Italy level. Sinner then teamed up with Lorenzo Sonego and they beat Djokovic and Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3, 6-4. Italy will face Australia in Sunday's final.

Arsenal goes top after Liverpool halts Man City's winning streak. Newcastle beats Chelsea 4-1

Goals from Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Arsenal's Kai Havertz on Saturday saw the defending champions knocked off the top of the table. Liverpool secured a 1-1 draw against City at Etihad Stadium and Arsenal scored late to beat Brentford 1-0. Newcastle routed Chelsea 4-1. Tottenham could go level on points with City if it beats Aston Villa on Sunday. And Villa has the chance to go level with Liverpool and a point behind Guardiola's team.

 </figure>AP Sports Summary for November 26th, 2023.No. 3 Michigan beats No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 for 3rd straight win in rivalryANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — With Jim Harbaugh nowhere in sight and a scandal hanging over their heads, J.J. McCarthy and No. 3 Michigan stared down No. 2 Ohio State and ran the school's win streak against the Buckeyes to three games with a 30-24 victory in maybe the most consequential game in the history of the storied rivalry. Michigan's Rod Moore intercepted Kyle McCord's wobbly pass intended for All-American Marvin Harrison Jr. at the Wolverines' 21-yard line with 25 seconds left, setting off a wild celebration on the home team's sideline. Michigan is headed to the Big Ten championship game for the third straight year. Harbaugh was serving the last of a three-game suspension handed down by the Big Ten for an alleged sign-stealing scheme.Ryan Day's decisions may haunt him after No. 3 Michigan beats No. 2 Ohio State for 3rd straight yearANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Ryan Day's decisions in The Game may haunt him. Again. No. 3 Michigan beat No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 Saturday, making the most of aggressive calls by fill-in coach Sherrone Moore and taking advantage of Day's approach that seemed conservative at times. The Buckeyes will have until next Sunday to find out if they'll be fortunate enough to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff as they were last year after losing to Michigan. Day defended his decisions after the game, but he can't ignore his 1-3 record against Michigan after his predecessors owned the Wolverines.Milroe's TD pass to Bond on fourth-and-31 rescues No. 8 Alabama in 27-24 win over AuburnAUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jalen Milroe and Isaiah Bond rescued No. 8 Alabama's playoff hopes, connecting for a last-minute touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 31 to beat Auburn 27-24. Bond caught Milroe's desperation heave in the left corner of the end zone with 32 seconds left to give the Crimson Tide a 10th straight win in the latest dramatic Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama gets to face No. 1 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game with its playoff hopes intact. Auburn was a 12 1/2-point underdog but nearly pulled off the upset in coach Hugh Freeze's first Iron Bowl.AP Top 25 Takeaways: Back door to the College Football Playoff is likely to be blocked this seasonThe back door to the College Football playoff is unlikely to be open for Ohio State or anybody else this championship weekend. With No. 4 Washington and No. 8 Alabama dodging the upset bug against unranked in-state rivals, next weekend's conference title games are all setting up to have at least one playoff contender. In the Big Ten, that's No. 3 Michigan after the Wolverines beat the second-ranked Buckeyes for a third straight season. Oregon also has a chance to make the playoff in the Pac-12, and Texas could get there out of the Big 12. Alabama would have to beat No. 1 Georgia.No. 4 Washington finishes perfect regular season with 24-21 win over Washington State in Apple CupSEATTLE (AP) — Grady Gross made a 42-yard field goal on the final play, Rome Odunze caught two touchdown passes from Michael Penix Jr. and No. 4 Washington beat Washington State 24-21 in the Apple Cup for an undefeated regular season. Odunze caught a 40-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and hauled in a 21-yarder on the final play of the third to give the Huskies a 21-14 lead. In the final year of the Pac-12 before most of its members scatter, Washington (12-0, 9-0) became the first school in the 12-team era to go unbeaten in the regular season. The Huskies will face No. 6 Oregon in the Pac-12 championship game Friday in Las Vegas with a victory likely putting Washington into the College Football Playoff.Benavidez stops Andrade after six rounds, calls for fight with super middleweight champ CaneloLAS VEGAS (AP) — David Benavidez retained the interim world super middleweight belt by stopping Demetrius Andrade after the sixth round Saturday night. In what was billed as clash of styles that could go the distance between unbeaten 168-pounders, Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) looked more like a clinician with a dominating performance before Andrade's requested stoppage after the sixth round. Andrade (32-1) suffered the first loss of his career. Benavidez is widely recognized as the world's best super middleweight after Canelo Alvarez. Immediately after his win he called for a match against Alvarez to unify the super middleweight title.Milton runs for 156 yards and 2 TDs, No. 1 Georgia holds off Georgia Tech 31-23ATLANTA (AP) — Kendall Milton ran for a career-high 156 yards and two touchdowns and No. 1 Georgia held on late to beat Georgia Tech 31-23 and cap its third consecutive undefeated regular season with its sixth straight win in the state rivalry. Georgia extended its school-record winning streak to 29 games. The Bulldogs have won 19 of the last 22 against Georgia Tech. Georgia protected its hopes of becoming the first team to win three straight national championships in The Associated Press poll era. The Bulldogs will play No. 8 Alabama next week in the SEC championship game in Atlanta.Vesey puts New York ahead, Krieder scores 2, Rangers beat Bruins 7-4 in matchup of East's top teamsNEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Vesey's goal put the Rangers ahead late in the second period, Chris Kreider scored twice and Jonathan Quick made 27 saves as New York beat the Boston Bruins 7-4 in a matchup of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

WICHITA, Kan. –&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kenny-pohto/7584">Kenny Pohto</a>&nbsp;scored a season-high 25 points and controlled the Wichita State offense, leading the Shockers to an 80-67 win over Norfolk State Saturday night in Charles Koch Arena.

Wichita State (6-1) overcame a rare off night from&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/xavier-bell/7579">Xavier Bell</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/colby-rogers/7582">Colby Rogers</a>&nbsp;to improve to 4-0 at home this season. Bell and Rogers combined for just 13 points on 3-of-19 shooting.

The 6-1 start for head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/paul-mills/1128">Paul Mills</a>&nbsp;ties the best seven-game start to a Wichita State coaching career since Harry Miller in 1971.Pohto tallied 25 points on an efficient 9-of-13 shooting and a perfect night at the line (6-for-6). He also added six rebounds and five assists, patrolling the middle of the Norfolk State zone defense.

<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/harlond-beverly/7587">Harlond Beverly</a>&nbsp;dished out a career-high eight assists to go with 13 points and zero turnovers. Beverly and Pohto accounted for 13 of the team's season-high 20 assists.

Pohto dished out three assists to go with nine first half points. Beverly tied a season high in assists in the first half alone, with six.

Wichita State led by as many as 12 over the first 20 minutes but Norfolk State was able to stay in it with key buckets.

Midway through the second half Norfolk State put together a 6-0 run, cutting the lead to just four, 60-56, forcing a Wichita State timeout. Immediately following that timeout, Wichita State responded with the next eight points, six of those belonging to Pohto.

With 4:12 remaining, Norfolk State knocked down a three-pointer to cut the lead to seven. That would be as close as it would get. A knockout punch resulting in a game-sealing 8-0 run gave the Shockers their largest lead of the night, 80-65, and only 1:01 left on the clock.

🏀 MBB: Pohto Propels Wichita State to Win over Norfolk State

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. –&nbsp;Dayton dominated the battle of the boards as the Flyers defeated Wichita State, 74-63, Saturday morning at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center.

"We've got to continue to improve our toughness," head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/coaches/terry-nooner/1136">Terry Nooner</a>&nbsp;said. "They were real physical, big and athletic, so we've just got to do a better job executing against physicality.

"Dayton (4-3), ranked No. 31 in the nation in offensive rebounds coming into the game, outrebounded the Shockers (3-3) 50-27 with Arianna Smith tallying 19 rebounds by herself. The Flyers collected 20 offensive rebounds to the Shockers' 8.

<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/salese-blow/7620">Salese Blow</a>&nbsp;scored a career-high 20 points to lead all scoring, and&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/tre-zure-jobe/7624">Tre'Zure Jobe</a>&nbsp;tied her Division I career high with 16 points.&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/daniela-abies/7503">Daniela Abies</a>&nbsp;finished in double figures (10 pts) for the fifth-consecutive game as she and&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/ornella-niankan/7510">Ornella Niankan</a>&nbsp;recorded a team-high 5 rebounds apiece.

Blow led the first-half scoring with 16 of the Shockers' 36 points, shooting 5-for-9 from the field and hitting Wichita State's only first-half three after only scoring 5 points against Akron."

<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/salese-blow/7620">Salese Blow</a>&nbsp;was a bright spot for us, especially how she carried us in the first half," Nooner said. "She's a natural scorer. She just knows how to score the basketball, and she's super confident in what she brings to the table in our offensive game, so she knows that if she has a bad day, she's set up to have a good day the next game."

Dayton's Ivy Wolf shot 5-for-8 from three in the first half, putting up 13 points to give the Flyers a one-point advantage at the half.

Dayton went on an 8-0 run early in the third quarter to take a six-point lead, but McCarty hit a three, and the Shockers cut the lead to two before the Flyers went on another 8-0 run to end the quarter with a 12-point lead.

Jobe started to heat up at the beginning of the fourth quarter, hitting a three and a fastbreak layup to bring the Shockers within seven, but the Flyers swung the momentum back in their favor forcing a Shocker timeout with a 6-0 run.

Dayton had 13 rebounds in the fourth quarter, 6 offensive, limiting the Shockers' possessions as Wichita State shot 1-for-9 from the field down the stretch and was unable to score in the final three minutes of the game.

🏀 WBB: Dayton Pulls Away in Second Half, Defeating Shockers

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Abu Sama III ran through the snow for 276 yards and three touchdowns, Rocco Becht threw for 230 yards and three more scores, and Iowa State held No. 19 Kansas State on fourth down with less than a minute left for a 42-35 victory on Saturday night.

The shortest of the Cyclones' six touchdowns was a tying 33-yard pass from Becht to Jayden Higgins in the fourth quarter, and the longest was a go-ahead 82-yard pass to Jaylin Noel that gave Iowa State (7-5, 6-3 Big 12) the lead with 8:04 to go.

In between, Sama had TD runs of 60, 71 and 77 yards while finishing with the third-best rushing performance in school history. And the fleet-footed Noel had another 79-yard TD catch to finish with three grabs for 160 yards and two scores.

Kansas State (8-4, 6-3) had a chance to tie the game, twice converting on fourth down while marching inside the Iowa State 20. But on yet another fourth down, Will Howard's pass to the corner of the end zone with 59 seconds to go fell incomplete.

Howard finished with 288 yards and a touchdown pass, a TD run and an interception. Ben Sinnott had 10 catches for 136 yards and a score, while D.J. Giddens and Treshaun Ward also had touchdown runs for the Wildcats.

Heavy snow fell throughout the game, and more than a dozen workers tried valiantly to keep the yard lines and hash marks clear. But the field quickly became the kind of playing surface better suited for sled dogs and snowmobiles.

Players slipped, stumbled and slid. More than once, someone ran over a woebegone official, photographer or cheerleader when they couldn't stop at the sideline. There were fumbles, dropped passes and muffed kicks.

Through it all, the longtime Big 12 rivals kept producing in wildly different fashions.

Kansas State was content to mush through the snow on long, methodical drives, even if it meant converting on third and fourth down to keep them alive. Giddens and Ward did most of the work, but Howard's connection with Sinnott and wide receiver Jayce Brown was a big reason why the Wildcats were able to keep getting into the end zone.

Iowa State was perfectly happy scoring in one big play.

Sama took the first carry of the game 71 yards for a score, then the first carry of the second quarter 77 yards for another. He also had a 60-yard touchdown run in the second half, sandwiched around Brecht's 79-yard touchdown pass to Noel and his 33-yard pass to Higgins that knotted the game 35-all early in the fourth quarter.

On third-and-16 at their own 18-yard line, Becht completed a pass to Noel well short of the first-down marker. But somehow, five different Wildcats failed to stop him and he ran untouched 82 yards for the go-ahead score.

Iowa State had already qualified for its sixth bowl game in the last seven years. Now, the destination could be a bit better.

Kansas State hoped that it would be playing for a chance to defend its Big 12 title on Saturday night. But when Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State won before the Wildcats kicked off, they were left playing for bowl positioning.

Both teams await their bowl destinations.

 </figure>By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports WriterMANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Abu Sama III ran through the snow for 276 yards and three touchdowns, Rocco Becht threw for 230 yards and three more scores, and Iowa State held No. 19 Kansas State on fourth down with less than a minute left for a 42-35 victory on Saturday night.The shortest of the Cyclones' six touchdowns was a tying 33-yard pass from Becht to Jayden Higgins in the fourth quarter, and the longest was a go-ahead 82-yard pass to Jaylin Noel that gave Iowa State (7-5, 6-3 Big 12) the lead with 8:04 to go.In between, Sama had TD runs of 60, 71 and 77 yards while finishing with the third-best rushing performance in school history. And the fleet-footed Noel had another 79-yard TD catch to finish with three grabs for 160 yards and two scores.Kansas State (8-4, 6-3) had a chance to tie the game, twice converting on fourth down while marching inside the Iowa State 20. But on yet another fourth down, Will Howard's pass to the corner of the end zone with 59 seconds to go fell incomplete.Howard finished with 288 yards and a touchdown pass, a TD run and an interception. Ben Sinnott had 10 catches for 136 yards and a score, while D.J. Giddens and Treshaun Ward also had touchdown runs for the Wildcats.Heavy snow fell throughout the game, and more than a dozen workers tried valiantly to keep the yard lines and hash marks clear. But the field quickly became the kind of playing surface better suited for sled dogs and snowmobiles.Players slipped, stumbled and slid. More than once, someone ran over a woebegone official, photographer or cheerleader when they couldn't stop at the sideline. There were fumbles, dropped passes and muffed kicks.Through it all, the longtime Big 12 rivals kept producing in wildly different fashions.Kansas State was content to mush through the snow on long, methodical drives, even if it meant converting on third and fourth down to keep them alive. Giddens and Ward did most of the work, but Howard's connection with Sinnott and wide receiver Jayce Brown was a big reason why the Wildcats were able to keep getting into the end zone.Iowa State was perfectly happy scoring in one big play.Sama took the first carry of the game 71 yards for a score, then the first carry of the second quarter 77 yards for another. He also had a 60-yard touchdown run in the second half, sandwiched around Brecht's 79-yard touchdown pass to Noel and his 33-yard pass to Higgins that knotted the game 35-all early in the fourth quarter.The Cyclones had one more in them.On third-and-16 at their own 18-yard line, Becht completed a pass to Noel well short of the first-down marker. But somehow, five different Wildcats failed to stop him and he ran untouched 82 yards for the go-ahead score.BIG PICTUREIowa State had already qualified for its sixth bowl game in the last seven years. Now, the destination could be a bit better.Kansas State hoped that it would be playing for a chance to defend its Big 12 title on Saturday night. But when Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State won before the Wildcats kicked off, they were left playing for bowl positioning.UP NEXTBoth teams await their bowl destinations.

🏈 Big plays, fourth down stop lead Iowa State past No. 19 K-State

By JEFF WALLNER Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — Jason Bean returned from injury and threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for two more, helping Kansas snap a two-game losing streak with a 49-16 victory at Cincinnati.

Bean who was injured two weeks ago in a loss to Texas Tech and missed last week’s loss to Kansas State, passed for 250 yards and rushed for 90. He had touchdown runs of 43 and 50 yards to seal the game in the fourth quarter.

“It felt good to get back out there with the boys,” Bean said. “Last week was tough just sitting on the sideline watching. I wanted to come out and make a statement this week.”

Devin Neal rushed for 106 yards and two TDs for the Jayhawks (8-4, 5-4 Big 12) who had their first winning season since 2008.

“I’m very proud of our guys and their perseverance after losing two (straight) and get a road win to cap the season,” Kansas head coach Lance Leipold said. “It’s a testament to how far this program’s come in a very short two and a half years.”

Kansas will learn its next destination when bowl pairings are announced on Sunday, Dec. 3.

“I sure hope we get a great destination because these guys deserve it,” Leipold said.

Corey Kiner ran for 106 yards on 18 carries and has 1,047 yards rushing this season, one of few bright spots for the Bearcats (3-9, 1-8 Big 12) in a very difficult season.

Cincinnati used a pair of quarterbacks in the first half.

Emory Jones started, then Brady Lichtenberg's first pass attempt was intercepted by Cobee Bryant early in the second quarter, leading to Neal's 13-yard TD to put the Jayhawks ahead 7-3.

With 5:31 left in the first half, Neal found tight end Jared Casey in the end zone for a 15-yard TD, making the score 14-3.

There was a big momentum swing just before halftime

Jones returned to toss an 11-yard TD pass to Ryan Montgomery to cut the deficit to 14-10 with 22 seconds left in the half.

The Jayhawks responded by driving 56 yards in two plays in 17 seconds. Bean's 26-yard TD pass to Mason Fairchild made the halftime score 21-10.

“We've been able to that ... answer a score really late in the half,” Leipold said. “It kind of took a little wind out of them.”

Neal took a direct snap and ran 30 yards untouched for a touchdown making the score 28-10 early in the third quarter.

“We had some really high goals for this team this year,” Bean said. "I’m just really proud of this team for what they’ve done this season. We still have more to accomplish.”

Kansas: Neal now has 3,006 rushing yards for his career, placing him fifth all-time on the school's list. He needs 69 yards to pass Laverne Smith for fourth place.

Cincinnati: The Bearcats, two years removed from a College Football Playoff appearance under Luke Fickell, finished Scott Satterfield's first season as head coach with their worst record since 1999.

“This is going to be a hard winter," Satterfield said. "We are going to have a meeting to see who is staying then we get back to work. We had some undisciplined play that cost us a lot of games. We have 22 recruits coming in. When the transfer portal opens up on December 4, we will hit that hard.”

Kansas: The Jayhawks will play in a bowl game for the second straight year.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Bo Nix threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, securing No. 6 Oregon a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with a 31-7 victory over No. 15 Oregon State in the final scheduled matchup between the in-state rivals.

DJ Uiagalelei threw for 220 yards and a touchdown for Oregon State.

No. 7 Texas overwhelms Texas Tech 57-7 to reach Big 12 championship game

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Keilan Robinson returned a kickoff 95 yards for one of his two touchdowns, Bert Auburn made five field goals and No. 7 Texas overwhelmed Texas Tech 57-7 on Friday night to reach the Big 12 championship game.

Wild's Fleury wears mask in warmups on Native American Heritage night after the NHL says not to

Marc-Andre Fleury wore a mask for warmups on the Minnesota Wild's Native American Heritage night after being told by the NHL that was not allowed. Fleury's agent confirmed earlier in the day the league said the mask was a violation of policy prohibiting gear for team theme nights. Allan Walsh said Fleury offered to pay the fine before the league threatened more serious punishment. The situation is the latest chapter in the league's ongoing controversy with theme games since a handful of players opted out of Pride night warmups last season.

Dolphins' Holland calls MetLife Stadium turf 'trash' after teammate Phillips injures Achilles tendon

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Miami safety Jevon Holland called the MetLife Stadium turf "trash" after teammate Jaelan Phillips injured his right Achilles tendon in the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the New York Jets. Phillips was carted from the field late in the fourth quarter, a non-contact injury that reignited the turf-vs.-grass debate among players. The third-year linebacker will have additional tests Saturday but appeared to indicate in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he has a potentially season-ending injury.

Commanders fire defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio after losing to the Cowboys

The Washington Commanders have fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer. The moves come a day after a 45-10 loss at the Dallas Cowboys. Washington has allowed 40 or more points in seven of 12 games and 290-plus yards 11 times. Coach Ron Rivera could take over the defensive play-calling duties himself. That would allow him to defer even more to new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Del Rio was 12 games into his fourth season with Washington after Rivera hired him in 2020.

Greatest of The Games: 6 of the most memorable meetings between Ohio State and Michigan

If it's Michigan-Ohio State it is almost always a huge game. No rivalry has produced more games matching AP Top 25 ranked teams, top-10 matchups and top-five games. The Game is filled with lore and legends and thrilling performances. Even before the second-ranked Buckeyes and third-ranked Wolverines kick off Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the 119th meeting will be historic. One day it could make the list of the most memorable in perhaps the best rivalry in college football.

No. 11 Penn State closes season with 42-0 win over Michigan State, awaits New Year's Six bowl bid

DETROIT (AP) — Drew Allar threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns and Kaytron Allen ran for a career-high 137 yards, providing No. 11 Penn State with plenty of offense in a 42-0 win over Michigan State. The Nittany Lions had 586 yards of offense in a game they controlled from the start. The eight-loss Spartans closed a tumultuous season that was stunted by Mel Tucker getting suspended and fired. It also hurt that a slew of injuries left them with about 50 scholarship players healthy enough to play in the finale at Ford Field. Allar completed 17 of 26 passes, a week after getting knocked out against Rutgers with a hard hit to his right shoulder.

The vital question may linger forever: Did Oscar Pistorius know he was shooting at his girlfriend?

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — In the decade since Oscar Pistorius pulled the trigger four times on his 9mm pistol, firing into the head and body of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp as she stood inside a locked toilet cubicle in his home, the vital question has still never been answered: Did the world-famous Olympic runner know he was shooting at and killing his girlfriend that Valentine's Day in 2013? Pistorius has always claimed that he didn't, that he mistook her for an intruder in his home. Steenkamp's family believes he intended to shoot the 29-year-old model and law graduate. Only Pistorius really knows for sure. The lasting twist of Pistorius' case was back in the spotlight Friday when he was granted parole.

Ferentz revisits fair catch call, says Iowa got 'screwed' out of 11 wins

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Less than an hour after Iowa recorded win No. 10 with a dramatic 13-10 victory over Nebraska, Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz suggested his team actually should have had a chance to win 11 games in the regular season. A month after a ruling on whether a punt returner's arm motion was or was not a fair catch signal took away an Iowa touchdown in a loss to Minnesota, Ferentz passionately revisited the episode during his postgame news conference. Ferentz said, "I'm just gonna tell you we got screwed on that one by the replay system."
