<a href="https://kuathletics.com/">Kansas Athletics</a>

LOS ANGELES,
Calif. – Kansas senior Ochai Agbaji
has been named one of five finalists for the 2022 John R. Wooden Award Men’s
Player of the Year. The Los Angeles Athletic Club announced the All-American
Team and the five finalists Wednesday evening on ESPNU.

Agbaji becomes the 25th Jayhawk to be named a Wooden Award
All-American all-time and the first since 2020, when Udoka Azubuike and Devon
Dotson both earned the honor. Agbaji now seeks to become the third Kansas
player to win the Wooden Award, joining Frank Mason III (2017) and Danny
Manning (1988).

Joining Agbaji as finalists for the Wooden Award are Johnny
Davis (Wisconsin), Keegan Murray (Iowa), Drew Timme (Gonzaga) and Oscar
Tshiebwe (Kentucky). Agbaji is the lone finalist still competing in the 2022
NCAA Tournament. All five players have been invited to Los Angeles for the 46th
annual presentation of the John R. Wooden Award Presented by Wendy’s Gala.

Agbaji has already earned what will be announced as Consensus
All-America First Team honors by collecting All-America first-team nods from
the NABC, AP, The Sporting News and USBWA. Those four entities make up the
collaboration of the consensus teams recognized by the NCAA. Agbaji is Kansas’
31st all-time Consensus All-America First Team selection, which is more than
any other school. He is the first Jayhawk to earn the honor since Devonte’
Graham in 2018.

Also a finalist for the Naismith Trophy, Agbaji was named the
2022 Big 12 Player of the Year after leading the conference in scoring and he
enters the Final Four with an average of 18.9 points per game. He is second in
the league in three-point field goal percentage (39.8%, 35th nationally) and
third in three-point field goals made per game (2.6, 71st nationally). He was
also named the Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Player and an
all-tournament selection in guiding Kansas to the tourney title earlier this
month.

A four-year starter for KU, Agbaji has etched his name into the
Kansas records book. He holds the record for consecutive games of three-point
field goals made at 53. The Kansas City, Missouri, native also ranks 16th on
the KU career scoring list with 1,619 points, fourth on the three-point field
goals made (243) and fourth on three-point field goals attempted (659).

The 46th annual John R. Wooden Award Presented by Wendy’s Men’s
Player of the Year will be announced on Tuesday, April 5th on SportsCenter on
ESPN. The John R. Wooden Award Presented by Wendy’s Gala will honor the Men’s
and Women’s Wooden Award winners, and will include the presentation of the
Wooden Award All American Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, this year
given to Rick Byrd. The Gala will take place at the Los Angeles Athletic Club
on Friday, April 8th.

🏈 FHSU spring football scrimmage set for Saturday, April 23

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – After sitting just one stroke off the lead heading into day two of competition, Morgan Brasser ran away with the individual title at the Holiday Inn Express Classic in at the St. Joseph Country Club, a par-72 venue. She shot an opening round 2-over par 74, then backed that with an impressive even-par 72 to win the tournament by five strokes. She helped the Tigers to a fifth-place finish as a team.

Jessica Green of Rogers State led the tournament at 1-over par following the first round. Brasser held the lead for a good chunk of the first round before Green slipped to the top near the end of competition on Monday. On day two, Brasser asserted her presence by going 2-under par in her first four holes, finished her first nine at 1-under, and then eventually settled at even by shooting 1-over on the second nine. Green could not find a birdie in a 4-over par front nine, then she slipped even further with a double bogey on her 12th hole of the day and shot 6-over for the round to finish at +7 overall.

The rest of the field did not put up much of a challenge as Brasser and Green were the only two inside of +12 overall. Outside of Green, Brasser was 10 strokes clear of the remainder of the field. Brasser finished the tournament with eight birdies, eight bogeys, and one double bogey. Other than that, she was a par machine with 19 over the two rounds. Her eight birdies were best of any golfer in the field.

Kerrigan Rudolph shot 88 in the opening round and 85 in the second round to finish in a tie for 40th. Shauna Lee shot rounds of 93 and 82 to finish in a tie for 48th. Kira Mestl carded rounds of 90 and 85 to tie Lee for 48th. Lexie Ridder shot 101 and 86 to finish 65th.

Brasser's strong individual performance anchored the fifth-place finish for the FHSU women out of 13 teams competing at +93. Rogers State, ranked 20th nationally, won the tournament at +51, while Missouri Western was second at +78. Wayne State was third at +88 and Iowa Central Community College was a stroke behind at +89.

The Tigers will play their next two tournaments at Sand Creek Station in Newton, Kansas. The Tigers will be there April 4-5 at the Newman Invitational and then April 21-23 the course will be the site of the MIAA Championships.

 </figure><a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/index.aspx">FHSU Athletics</a>ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – After sitting just one stroke off the lead heading into day two of competition, Morgan Brasser ran away with the individual title at the Holiday Inn Express Classic in at the St. Joseph Country Club, a par-72 venue.

She helped the Tigers to a fifth-place finish as a team.Jessica Green of Rogers State led the tournament at 1-over par following the first round. Brasser held the lead for a good chunk of the first round before Green slipped to the top near the end of competition on Monday. On day two, Brasser asserted her presence by going 2-under par in her first four holes, finished her first nine at 1-under, and then eventually settled at even by shooting 1-over on the second nine. Green could not find a birdie in a 4-over par front nine, then she slipped even further with a double bogey on her 12th hole of the day and shot 6-over for the round to finish at +7 overall.The rest of the field did not put up much of a challenge as Brasser and Green were the only two inside of +12 overall. Outside of Green, Brasser was 10 strokes clear of the remainder of the field. Brasser finished the tournament with eight birdies, eight bogeys, and one double bogey. Other than that, she was a par machine with 19 over the two rounds. Her eight birdies were best of any golfer in the field.Kerrigan Rudolph shot 88 in the opening round and 85 in the second round to finish in a tie for 40th. Shauna Lee shot rounds of 93 and 82 to finish in a tie for 48th. Kira Mestl carded rounds of 90 and 85 to tie Lee for 48th.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fort Hays State senior distance runner&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6511">Robbie Schmidt</a>&nbsp;has been named MIAA&nbsp;Co-Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week, announced Tuesday by the league office. This is the first weekly award given out by the MIAA during the 2022 outdoor season. Schmidt broke a 53-year-old school record in the 5,000m run at the Texas Relays last Thursday (March 24). The Topeka, Kan. native shaved nearly 40 seconds off his PR, completing the race in 14:05.87. That time was good for ninth place, better than seven Division I runners. He improved the school record by close to 15 seconds, a mark that had been held by Tiger Sports Hall of Famer and Olympian Larbi Oukada since 1969 (14:20.44). To date it is the second-best time in Division II this season and is a DII provisional performance. This is Schmidt's second MIAA weekly award, joining a cross country athlete of the week honor he received last fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Both teams got runners aboard in the sixth but went scoreless and then the second lightning delay came along, which ultimately spelled the end of the day.

CHICAGO (AP) — Ochai Agbaji, David McCormack and Christian Braun powered a dazzling second half for Kansas, and the top-seeded Jayhawks pounded Miami 76-50 on Sunday to advance to the program's 16th Final Four.

Agbaji scored 18 points, McCormack had 15 and Braun finished with 12, helping Kansas rally after a lackluster start. The Jayhawks trailed by six points at halftime but outscored Miami 47-15 in the final 20 minutes.

Kansas (32-6), the only No. 1 seed left in the NCAA Tournament, won the Midwest Region for the 13th time with its ninth consecutive victory overall. Next up is the national semifinals and a matchup with Villanova on Saturday in New Orleans.

It's the fourth Final Four for coach Bill Self in his 19 seasons at Kansas. The last time the Jayhawks made it to the semis, they lost 95-79 to coach Jay Wright and the Wildcats in 2018.

Kameron McGusty scored 18 points and Isaiah Wong had 15 for No. 10 seed Miami in the program's first appearance in the Elite Eight. The Hurricanes (26-11) were bidding to get coach Jim Larrañaga back to the Final Four for the first time since he led 11th-seeded George Mason there in 2006.

McGusty spent two seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to Miami, averaging 13.5 points in four games against Kansas. And he looked quite comfortable playing against the Jayhawks again.

The redshirt senior guard scored 14 points to help the Hurricanes to a 35-29 halftime lead. But everything changed after the break.

With McCormack asserting himself inside and Braun and Ogbai picking up their play on the perimeter, Kansas outscored Miami 25-7 over the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Jalen Wilson made two foul shots and Agbaji connected from 3 to lift the Jayhawks to a 54-42 lead with 10:14 left. And the Big 12 champions just kept rolling.

A dunk by Agbaji capped a 10-0 run and made it 67-46 with 4:35 left, delighting the pro-Kansas crowd at the United Center. A 3 by Agbaji extended the lead to 23 points with 1:58 remaining.

🏀 Kansas blows past Miami in 2nd half, reaches 16th Final Four

PITTSBURG, Kan. - Fort Hays State fell in the series finale at Pittsburg State on Sunday by a score of 8-5. The Tigers held a lead late in the contest, but an eighth-inning rally gave the Gorillas the series sweep. After a scoreless first inning, the Tigers drew first blood with a two-run home run from&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6317">Conner Kessler</a>. The Gorillas immediately knotted the game back up in the home half of the second with a pair of runs on a hit and a Tiger error.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6310">Jake Campbell</a>, starting pitcher for the Tigers, kept the Gorillas in check allowing only one hit over the next two frames as the score remained tied 2-2 heading into the fifth inning. Pittsburg State added a pair of runs in the fifth on four hits, but the Tigers responded in the sixth when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6327">Grant Schmidt</a>&nbsp;blasted a three-run home run to give the Tigers a 5-4 lead. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6622">Mason Holton</a>&nbsp;took the mound to start the bottom of the sixth and struck out four of the first seven batters he faced. However, he found himself in a jam in the eighth with the bases loaded and one out. He got a strikeout for the second out, but then surrendered a walk that tied the game. Moments later, a double cleared the bases putting the Gorillas ahead 8-5.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6337">Cole Zimmerman</a>&nbsp;entered in relief and got a strikeout to end the bottom of the eighth. Unfortunately, the Tigers had no counter against Jordan Mendenhall in the ninth, who collected his third save of the season for PSU. Campbell threw five complete innings allowing four runs on seven hits with three walks and a strikeout. Holton recorded five strikeouts in 2.2 innings of work and gave up the other four Gorilla runs. Five Tigers recorded a hit in the contest. The Tigers will be at home on Tuesday&nbsp; to face Newman University in the second of three single game contests spaced out over a few weeks. FHSU won the first contest with Newman this year by a score of 15-10 in Wichita. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Larks Park.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After a scoreless first inning, the Tigers drew first blood with a two-run home run from&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6317">Conner Kessler</a>. The Gorillas immediately knotted the game back up in the home half of the second with a pair of runs on a hit and a Tiger error.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6310">Jake Campbell</a>, starting pitcher for the Tigers, kept the Gorillas in check allowing only one hit over the next two frames as the score remained tied 2-2 heading into the fifth inning. Pittsburg State added a pair of runs in the fifth on four hits, but the Tigers responded in the sixth when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6327">Grant Schmidt</a>&nbsp;blasted a three-run home run to give the Tigers a 5-4 lead. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6622">Mason Holton</a>&nbsp;took the mound to start the bottom of the sixth and struck out four of the first seven batters he faced. However, he found himself in a jam in the eighth with the bases loaded and one out. He got a strikeout for the second out, but then surrendered a walk that tied the game. Moments later, a double cleared the bases putting the Gorillas ahead 8-5.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6337">Cole Zimmerman</a>&nbsp;entered in relief and got a strikeout to end the bottom of the eighth. Unfortunately, the Tigers had no counter against Jordan Mendenhall in the ninth, who collected his third save of the season for PSU. Campbell threw five complete innings allowing four runs on seven hits with three walks and a strikeout. Holton recorded five strikeouts in 2.2 innings of work and gave up the other four Gorilla runs. Five Tigers recorded a hit in the contest. The Tigers will be at home on Tuesday&nbsp; to face Newman University in the second of three single game contests spaced out over a few weeks. FHSU won the first contest with Newman this year by a score of 15-10 in Wichita. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Larks Park.&nbsp;&nbsp;

👟 Seven provisionals, four winners for Tigers at ESU Relays

KEARNEY, Neb. – Fort Hays State is still in search of its first MIAA victory of the season after a pair of setbacks at Nebraska-Kearney on Saturday. The Tigers held slim leads early in both games, but saw the Lopers rally past in both to remain undefeated in MIAA play at 6-0 and run their win streak to 11 games overall. UNK is now 16-12 overall, while FHSU moved to 13-17 overall and 0-4 in the MIAA. Game 1: Nebraska-Kearney 5, Fort Hays State 3 Fort Hays State held an early 1-0 lead, but a pair of two-run innings by the Lopers ultimately decided the first contest as the Tigers fell short by a pair of runs. UNK ran its win streak to 10 games. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;opened the scoring in the game in the second inning when she drove a double to right field, scoring&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;who led off the inning with a single. However, the lead was short lived as Lyndsey Roth hit a two-run homer for the Lopers in the bottom half of the inning. The Lopers extended their lead to 4-1 an inning later when Sydney Thomason led off with a homer and Katie Gosker had an RBI single later in the inning. The Tigers rallied back to within a run in the fifth inning when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;doubled and moments later came in to score on an RBI sacrifice fly by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;followed with a solo home run to center field, making it 4-3.
