MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Achor Achor scored 21 points to lead six in double figures and a late flurry of 3-pointers gave Kansas State the school scoring record in a 120-73 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Sunday.

The Wildcats scored their last 21 points on seven 3-pointers and finished with 21 3-pointers — the second most in school history — in 40 attempts.

A 3-pointer by Taj Manning gave K-State 117 points with 2 minutes to go, breaking the school record of 116 points set in a win over Texas last season. Dug McDaniel added a 3-pointer a minute later for the final score.

Led by Achor, Kansas State (6-2) had 68 bench points. McDaniel had 18 points and 10 assists and David Castillo, who made five 3-pointers, had 17 points. Among the starters, David N’Guessan had 17 points, Brendan Hausen 14 and Max Jones 12.

Chop Paljor scored 15, Dante Sawyer 12 and Kyle Brown 10 for the Lions (1-8).

Kansas State shot 62% overall and 53% from 3-point distance. The Wildcats had only 36 points in the paint but made 19 of their 25 two-point tries.

The Wildcats turned six UAPB turnovers into 16 points and led 30-11 with 12 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Hausen scored nine points and N’Guessan seven in the outburst.

K-State scored 54 points in the first 15 minutes, shooting 57% overall and making 9 of 16 3-pointers in that span. The Wildcats led 54-24 with 5 minutes left and 63-33 at halftime. Castillo had 11 points and Achor scored 10.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Rocco Becht threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and No. 17 Iowa State's defense came up with big stops in the second half to help the Cyclones beat Kansas State 29-21 on a cold Saturday night for the first 10-win season in program history.

About three hours after the game ended, they had their ticket to the Big 12 championship game punched when BYU's win over Houston provided the help they needed to advance to a meeting with Arizona State next Saturday night at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Cyclones (10-2, 7-2 Big 12, No. 18 CFP) will make their second appearance in the conference championship game. They lost to Oklahoma in 2020.

“It will have been earned. Our kids have really never wavered," said Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, whose team bounced back from two straight losses after a 7-0 start and won their third straight. “It'll be a great opportunity for our program and obviously for our fanbase to be able to be a part of that with us.”

Becht’s first touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to Jayden Higgins, came after Myles Purchase recovered Avery Johnson’s errant pitch on the game’s first play from scrimmage. Becht’s 9-yard TD pass to Jaylin Noel came after Joey Petersen picked up Keagan Johnson’s fumble. Noel went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season with the catch.

Becht’s 5-yard run put the Cyclones up 24-14 at half.

“The ability for our kids to make critical plays in critical moments was certainly the difference in the game,” Campbell said. “We knew with the weather and the field, it was going to be a hard-fought football game. We were going to have to make those plays. Probably fitting for this team to win that way and finish the regular season. Really excited for them and what they’ve accomplished, and certainly for what the future holds for them as well.”

A safety and Kyle Konrardy’s 20-yard field goal gave Iowa State an eight-point lead in the middle of the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats (8-4, 5-4, No. 24 CFP) turned over the ball on downs at the Cyclones’ 35 when a pass went off Garrett Oakley’s hands on a fourth-and-2 with 4:59 left. They got the ball back for a final possession with no timeouts and 1:11 left when Kyle Konrardy missed what would have been a game-clinching 37-yard field goal. K-State went nowhere, with Avery Johnson knocked out of the game on third down and Ta’Quan Roberson throwing incomplete on fourth-and-15.

Becht took a knee, and the fans poured out of the stands to celebrate with the Cyclones on the field.

“Can’t play a team like that and make the mistakes we made,” K-State coach Chris Klieman said. "We made some mistakes in that first half that led to points, and you can’t do that against good football teams. That’s obvious.

“Congratulations to Matt and his team. They’ll represent the Big 12 well. They don’t make mistakes, and we made them today, and that got us down at halftime.”

Avery Johnson threw touchdown passes of 28 and 65 yards to Jayce Brown in the first half, and his 7-yarder to Oakley pulled K-State within 24-21 late in the third quarter. He threw for 220 yards and ran for 64 on 13 carries, and Brown caught three balls for 106 yards.

The Cyclones made a huge stop earlier in the third after DJ Giddens’s 36-yard run set up K-State inside the 5-yard line. They kept the Wildcats out of the end zone, and then Darien Porter blew through the right side of the line to block Chris Tennant’s 21-yard field-goal try.

The defense recorded a safety when Jacob Ellis chased Avery Johnson into his own end zone. Johnson desperately unloaded the ball and was called for intentional grounding.

Kansas State: The Wildcats failed to play spoiler after finding out their hopes of making the Big 12 championship game were squashed earlier in the day. Two turnovers, having a field goal blocked, surrendering a safety and failing to convert two fourth-and-2s hurt.

Iowa State: The Cyclones' seven conference wins are the second-most in program history — they had eight in 2020 — and their 17 wins since 2023 mark their best two-year stretch. They also finished in the top four of the Big 12 for the seventh time in eight seasons.

Iowa State could move up a bit with No. 12 Clemson losing this week.

Iowa State: Will play in a bowl game and possibly the Big 12 championship game.

🏈 Iowa St beats K-State, will play Sun Devils for Big 12 title

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER Hays Post

EMPORIA - Hays High took the field in their first ever football championship on Saturday night. The Indians faced the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints in Emporia at Welch Stadium on the campus of Emporia State University.

The Saints never trailed in a 35-13 victory over Hays.

The Indians' opponents in 2024 had a collective record of 100-38.

Aquinas(13-0) scored on plays of 41, 23 and 36 yards in the first half to build a 21-0 lead. Hays(8-5) got into the Saints' territory twice but couldn't keep their drive going. Hays punted on four of their five drives in the first half and lost the ball on downs on the other.

Hays took the opening drive of the game as far as the 30 yard line of Aquinas. The Indians lost 13 yards on the next play to set up an eventual punt. Aquinas punted on their first drive but Hays gave the ball back on a punt three plays later.

A short punt set up the Saints at the Hays 41 yard line and on the first play of the drive Elzie Slaughter found Brett Yankovich for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

It was the first of three straight possessions that Aquinas scored. It looked like the Indians stuffed a third down and six play but Calin Arndt broke free of the tackle and gained 45 yards. He scored two plays later on a 23 yard run pushing the advantage to 14-0.

Slaughter completed the trifecta of touchdowns with a 36 yard run after the Indians turned the ball over on downs on a 4th and 2 play. The Saints nearly scored before half but a pass was broken up near the end zone as time expired leaving Aquinas with a 21-0 lead in the locker room.

The Indians scored the first points of the second half. Neither team scored in the third quarter as the teams traded punts. An early fourth quarter punt was blocked by Hays. One play later Ian McGuire found Holden Lind wide open for a 25 yard yard scoring pass. Carson Moore nailed the point after for a 21-7 score with 11:08 left in the game.

The Indians forced a fumble on the next drive deep in their own territory. However, Hays couldn't move the ball and turned the ball over on an interception. Aquinas scored on their next two possession, establishing a 35-14 lead with 3:42 remaining.

The Indians took their final possession 76 yards on ten plays and scored as the final seconds dripped off the clock. McGuire found Johnny Cano for his 41 reception of the season, a 17 yard touchdown. The clocked had expired leaving the final score at 35-13.

Hays ran the ball for 110 yards, 40 more than the Saints defense gave up on average. The Indians totaled 190 in the game. Aquinas ran for 289 yards and threw for 83 more.

 🏈 Hays falls to Aquinas in 5A state title game

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — KJ Adams matched a career-high 22 points and No. 1 Kansas used a 30-9 run at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to beat Furman 86-51 on Saturday night.

Hunter Dickinson had 10 points and six rebounds for the Jayhawks (7-0), who handled the trap game nestled between last week's win over No. 11 Duke in Las Vegas and next week's trip to No. 21 Creighton for the Big 12-Big East Battle.

The Jayhawks and Paladins (7-1) began the day as two of 23 unbeatens left in men's Division I basketball.

Kansas led just 27-26 before Flory Bidunga's basket completed a 12-2 run to end the first half. The charge continued in the second, and Adams eventually converted a three-point play to give the Jayhawks a 57-35 lead with 13 1/2 minutes to go.

Eddrin Bronson scored 14 points and Garrett Hien had 12 points for the Paladins.

Furman: The Paladins are seventh nationally in 3s per game, and they knocked down four of their first seven to hang around. But the Paladins were just 2 of 16 the rest of the first half, and that resulted in a 39-28 deficit that they could never overcome.

Kansas: The Jayhawks pulled away early in the second half despite missing their first six 3-point attempts. The Jayhawks didn't hit one until Zeke Mayo's 3-pointer with 15:14 remaining gave them a 54-35 lead.

In the first half, Mayo kicked the ball, which ricocheted and nearly hit Ted Lasso actor and Jayhawks fan Jason Sudeikis.

Adams was 10 of 12 from the field and 2 of 2 at the foul line.

Furman visits Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday night, and Kansas visits the Bluejays the same night.

🏀 No. 12 Tiger women grind out road win over Orediggers

By CAYDEN SANDERS Hays Post GREENSBURG - The Victoria Knights were undefeated entering the state
championship game, with a perfect 12-0 record against opponents. However, the
Axtell Eagles, also undefeated, pounced on Victoria, winning 50-0.

At the start of the game, the Knights were able to move the
ball offensively, earning two first downs before punting the ball away. Both
Axtell and Victoria started cold offensively. 

But at the 3:18 mark in the first quarter, the Eagles struck
paydirt with a twenty-two-yard touchdown from KU verbal commit Brandon
Schmelzle. After the kickoff, the first play of the Knights' offensive drive,
the pass was deflected and intercepted, giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead. 

In the second, both teams could not move the ball much, but
Axtell scored at the 4:52 mark to make it 30-0 before halftime. 

After halftime, the Knights' offense had opportunities, but
they were squandered by Axtell's suffocating defense, which did not allow more
than ten first downs the entire game.

The Eagles tacked on fourteen more points from Eli

During the fourth quarter, the Knights stopped a crucial

touchdown. 

Axtell claimed its fourth straight title in school history,
while mercy rules in the last three state championship games to Thunder Ridge,
South Central, and Victoria. 

Axtell’s winning streak continues at 52 straight wins. The

championship games. The only other loss at state came at the hands of Hanover
in the 2008 season. 

Victoria’s season ends at the state championship with a
State Runner-Up finish and an 11-1 record. 

By CAYDEN SANDERS Hays Post GREENSBURG - The Victoria Knights were undefeated entering the state
championship game, with a perfect 12-0 record against opponents. However, the
Axtell Eagles, also undefeated, pounced on Victoria, winning 50-0. At the start of the game, the Knights were able to move the
ball offensively, earning two first downs before punting the ball away. Both
Axtell and Victoria started cold offensively. But at the 3:18 mark in the first quarter, the Eagles struck
paydirt with a twenty-two-yard touchdown from KU verbal commit Brandon
Schmelzle. After the kickoff, the first play of the Knights' offensive drive,
the pass was deflected and intercepted, giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead. In the second, both teams could not move the ball much, but
Axtell scored at the 4:52 mark to make it 30-0 before halftime. After halftime, the Knights' offense had opportunities, but
they were squandered by Axtell's suffocating defense, which did not allow more
than ten first downs the entire game.The Eagles tacked on fourteen more points from Eli
Broxterman and Schmelzle in the third. During the fourth quarter, the Knights stopped a crucial
two-point conversion that would have ended the game sooner. After the
second-to-last scoring drive, Axtell led the Knights 44-0. On the game's final play, the Eagles used a double counter
flee-flicker to throw it to the near sideline to score the mercy rule
touchdown. Axtell claimed its fourth straight title in school history,

The FHSU lead eventually reached 13 before the halftime margin was 11 with a score of 46-35.

The Tigers finally started to pull away early in the second half, stretching the lead out to 20 about seven minutes into the second half. A 12-2 run a little bit later took the lead from 18 to 28. The margin finally climbed past 30 with a little over a minute to play and a Mukuna fast-break dunk capped the scoring in the game and put the final margin at 33.

🏀 Tiger men win third straight, defeat Manhattan Christian

WACO, Texas (AP) — Sawyer Robertson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns as Baylor won its sixth straight to keep alive its slim hopes for a berth in the Big 12 championship game, beating Kansas 45-17 on Saturday.

The Bears (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on three consecutive possessions in the first half to take a 21-7 lead, then found the end zone on all three of their drives in the third quarter.

Bryson Washington ran for 192 yards on 27 carries that included a 10-yard TD run and punching in from the 1 in the second half for Baylor.

Kansas (5-7, 4-5) entered on a three-game winning streak — all against ranked teams — to be in position for bowl eligibility with a win. But the Jayhawks had no answers for Baylor’s offensive.

Baylor, which started 0-3 in league play, had to wait for the outcomes of games later Saturday. Arizona had to beat Arizona State, Kansas State had to beat Iowa State and Houston had to beat BYU for the Bears to get into next week's conference title game.

Robertson was 23-for-31 passing, with TDs of 36- and 39-yards to Monaray Baldwin in the first quarter before a 14-yard score to Josh Cameron in the second. Baldwin caught seven passes for 119 yards, and Cameron added eight receptions for 102.

Devin Neal ran for 133 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for Kansas. Jalon Daniels was 12-of-23 passing for 280 yards passing, and had two passes intercepted by Baylor safety Devyn Bobby.

Kansas: The Jayhawks rarely had issues moving the ball in the first half. Despite trailing 21-10 at intermission, the Jayhawks had outgained Baylor 301-283. Their problems came with holding onto the ball and scoring when they had the chance. Tabor Allen missed a 38-yard field goal to end the Jayhawks’ first possession, and they had promising drives end on a Daniels interception and Tevita Noa fumble after a 39-yard reception.

Baylor: The Bears made a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the season. They began the year with coach Dave Aranda’s future considered tenuous at best, and a 2-4 start only made calls for him to be replaced louder. But Aranda and Baylor haven’t lost since Oct. 5 against Iowa State.

Baylor had to wait to see when and where it will play its next game.

DENVER - In a thrilling overtime battle on the road, the No. 12/15 ranked Fort Hays State women's basketball team triumphed over Regis, 82-77, in a game packed with clutch plays and dramatic momentum shifts at the Regis Field House. Fort Hays State remained unbeaten on the season, now 6-0 overall, while Regis dropped to 2-3 following its first home contest of the season.

Olivia Hollenbeck led the Tigers with 20 points, followed by 18 from Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;and 14 from Talexa Weeter. Brooke Loewe&nbsp;posted a double-double and flirted with a triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Regis had the upper hand early, leading by as many as five early before FHSU closed within a point, 13-12. DeGarmo was key to keeping the Tigers in striking distance with eight of the team's 12 first-quarter points. FHSU hit the first basket of the second quarter to take a brief lead, then tied the game twice early in the second quarter. Baskets by Weeter and Kate Dilsaver&nbsp;later in the second quarter put the Tigers up three, but Regis had a four-point burst to make the frame a stalemate and led at halftime 32-31.

The third quarter saw the intensity escalate as the Tigers jolted past the Rangers with a 13-0 run. Down by three, Hollenbeck triggered the run with a pair of free throws. Loewe followed with a layup to give the Tigers the lead. Loewe and Hollenbeck each had four points in the run, while Dilsaver had two. Bailey Wilborn&nbsp;capped the burst with a 3-point field goal to make it 44-34 in favor of the Tigers. However, a 3-point field goal by Regis snapped the run and it used a 17-6 run to get the lead back by one with a minute to go in the quarter. Baskets by Weeter and Loewe in the final minute gave the Tigers the lead back 54-51 heading into the fourth quarter.

FHSU led by five twice early in the fourth quarter, but could not shake Regis as the Rangers pulled back even at 58-58 with 5:52 to go in regulation. Regis took the lead back with a basket at the 4:22 mark, but Hollenbeck countered with an old-fashioned 3-point play to put the Tigers back on top. The Rangers tied the game twice more before jumping in front with a 3-point basket with 1:23 to go. Dilsaver went to the free-throw line and made one of two shots to tie the game at 69, then neither team could find a winning bucket in the final minute.

The extra period was a showcase of Fort Hays State's poise under pressure. Regis struck first with a pair of free throws. However, the Tigers surged back in front with a decisive 9-1 run. It was a group effort with baskets from Loewe, Ellie Stearns, DeGarmo, and Hollenbeck. Regis moved back within three with 38 seconds to go, but DeGarmo put the game on ice with a pair of free throws with 13 seconds left.

Regis made 11 3-point field goals to help stay in the game even though FHSU made nine more field goals overall. The Rangers were near perfect at the free-throw line, going 18-of-19. Erin Fry led the Rangers with 19 points, followed by 16 from Athena Saragoza and 15 from Fiona Snashall.

Fort Hays State returns to action tomorrow just down the road a little more to the west in Golden, Colo., where it takes on Colorado School of Mines at 4 p.m. CT (3 p.m. MT).&nbsp;&nbsp;

🏀 No. 12 FHSU women survive in overtime at Regis

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs recovered a botched snap while the Las Vegas Raiders were within range of a go-ahead field goal with 15 seconds remaining on Friday, preserving a 19-17 victory for Kansas City and giving the franchise its 10th consecutive playoff berth.

The Raiders (2-10) had taken over at their own 8-yard line with just under two minutes to go, and Aidan O'Connell quickly moved them across midfield, eventually spiking the ball at the Kansas City 32 to stop the clock.

Rather than try a potential winning field goal — Daniel Carlson had already missed three from 50-plus — the Raiders lined up to run a play. Andre James snapped the ball when O'Connell wasn't expecting it and it bounced off the quarterback's shoulder. Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton jumped on the ball, and the recovery stood when a flag on the play turned out to be an illegal shift by the Raiders.

It was the 14th consecutive game decided by one possession that Kansas City (11-1) has won.

The Raiders had a chance earlier in the fourth quarter, and O'Connell similarly drove them across midfield. But the Chiefs forced three straight incomplete passes — George Karlaftis and Justin Reid batted down two — to bring up fourth down. Carlson headed onto the field, but his 58-yard try with 2:21 never got near the uprights.

Patrick Mahomes had 306 yards passing and a TD for Kansas City, while fill-in kicker Matt Wright made four field goals.

O'Connell finished with 340 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Raiders, who have lost eight of nine to their bitter AFC West rivals. Brock Bowers had 10 catches for 140 yards and one of the scores.

The hapless Raiders were able to hang around thanks to the same problems that have plagued the Chiefs much of the season: Their offensive tackles were unable to give Mahomes time to throw, their secondary kept breaking down and they committed too many penalties — three on one offensive possession alone.

In fact, Mahomes was under extreme duress when he found Justin Watson from 6 yards out late in the first half. The pass not only gave the Chiefs a 10-3 lead but sent the two-time MVP past Len Dawson with his franchise-record 328th TD throw.

O'Connell, who was thrust back onto the field when Gardner Minshew went on injured reserve with a broken collarbone this week, got off to a slow start after missing a month with a broken thumb. But while the Chiefs continued to kick field goals, the second-year pro found his rhythm for the Raiders, eventually slinging a pair of TD passes to give Las Vegas the lead.

The first was to Bowers, already one of the most productive rookies in NFL history, with 1:40 left in the third quarter. Then, after the Chiefs went three-and-out, O'Connell hit Tre Tucker with 58-yard strike on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs answered with Wright's fourth field goal to take a 19-17 lead with about 10 minutes to go.

Chris Jones had two sacks for Kansas City. He had not had one the previous seven games. ... Las Vegas has trailed by double digits in every game this season. ... Mahomes had gone 113 straight starts without being sacked five-plus times. Carolina and Las Vegas have done it in consecutive weeks.

Raiders: WR DJ Turner left in the second half with a knee injury.
