DENVER – Fort Hays State Softball started the 2022 season with a pair of setbacks at MSU Denver on Saturday (Feb. 5). The Roadrunners won game one 8-1 before taking the second game in walk-off fashion by a score of 6-5. It was the first two games of the season for both squads. Game 1: MSU Denver 8, Fort Hays State 1 A big fourth inning turned out to be too much for the Tigers to recover from in the opener of the 2022 season. FHSU initially took a 1-0 lead in the top half of the fourth, but saw the Roadrunners rally with several extra base hits in the bottom half of the inning. Fort Hays State manufactured its only run of the game by loading the bases with a&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;single, a&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;walk, and then an error by the Roadrunners.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;produced a sacrifice fly down the right field line to score Espinoza from third. FHSU starter&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6351">Morgan Schmidt</a>&nbsp;held the Roadrunners scoreless through three innings, but ran into trouble in the fourth surrendering four straight hits that quickly turned into four runs. Three of those hits went for extra bases as MSU Denver vaulted out in front 4-1 in the blink of an eye.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6345">Bailey Carlson</a>&nbsp;relieved Schmidt and surrendered a sac fly and another extra-base hit that pushed the advantage to 6-1. The first of those two runs surrendered with Bailey in the circle went on Schmidt's final line. Carlson settled in to work a scoreless fifth, but allowed two more runs in the sixth. Espinoza had the only two hits of the game for the Tigers as MSU Denver starter Destinee Lopez threw a complete game and struck out 14 Tigers. Game 2: MSU Denver 6, Fort Hays State 5 Fort Hays State had MSU Denver down to its last out with a 5-4 lead in the seventh when the Roadrunners won in walk-off fashion on a two-run home run by Hannah DiFabio. FHSU had just taken its first lead of the day in the top half of the seventh. MSU Denver worked its way out to a 4-0 lead by scoring two in the first, one in the third, and one in the fifth. However, the Tigers came storming back in the sixth thanks to several miscues by the Roadrunners. After a pair of walks by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6356">Sydnee Hoffman</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;singled home the first run for the Tigers. An error then helped the Tigers load the bases and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;was hit by a pitch to force in a second run. With&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6636">Reese Curry</a>&nbsp;at the dish, a wild pitch allowed her sister Regan to score from third, drawing the Tigers within one. The Tigers completed a four-run comeback when a wild pitch scored&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;from third. The Tigers grabbed their first lead in the top of the seventh when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;doubled and advanced on a throwing error to set up a sacrifice fly RBI by Breckbill. However, a leadoff walk to start the bottom of the seventh would ultimately set up the walk-off home run with two outs by DiFabio. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;went the distance for the Tigers in the pitching circle. She struck out four in her complete-game effort. Sarah Norton of MSU Denver was in the pitching circle for all but one Tiger out and picked up the win. She struck out six. The Tigers look to bounce back tomorrow when they play a doubleheader at Regis University. The doubleheader is set to begin at 1 pm CT / 12 pm MT at the Regis Softball Field in Denver. The Rangers split a pair of games with Cal Poly Humboldt on Saturday to open their season.

🥎 Tigers fall twice to Roadrunners in Denver

HAYS, Kan. - The Fort Hays State baseball team dropped its 2022 opener against Colorado School of Mines on Saturday (Feb. 5) by a score of 13-4. The Tigers collected eight hits in the contest, but three FHSU errors and three Mines home runs in the fourth inning pushed the Orediggers over the top. Opening Day starter&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6317">Conner Kessler</a>&nbsp;retired the side in order in the top of the first before the first two batters reached for the Tigers, but the Orediggers escaped the inning with a fielder's choice and two popups. Mines struck first with four runs in the second, just two of which were earned after a pair of Tiger errors. The Tigers picked up just one more hit over the next four innings, which allowed the Orediggers to go up 12-0 thanks to a seven-run fourth inning. The Tigers started to claw back with one run in the sixth before pushing across three more in the seventh. Redshirt-freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6620">Jenner Kehe</a>&nbsp;picked up his second hit of the game with one out in the sixth before a hit by pitch and a walk loaded the bases. Kehe scampered home later in the inning on a wild pitch. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6328">Ed Scott</a>&nbsp;then opened the seventh with a walk before&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6335">Jaxson Webb</a>&nbsp;extended the inning with a single to left center. Kehe drove in a run with a single to center before pinch hitter&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6626">Joey Olson</a>&nbsp;worked a walk, loading the bases for returning All-MIAA honoree&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6327">Grant Schmidt</a>. The senior came through with a two-run single to center, helping the Tigers close within 12-4.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6331">Ridge Stephens</a>&nbsp;followed with another single, but the final out was recorded at third base to end the inning. Fort Hays State managed to get runners on base in each of the final two innings, but the Mines pitching staff kept the Tigers at bay to seal the win. Mines starter Kevin Zapanta (1-0) went 6.1 innings, totaling six strikeouts and allowing four hits. Kessler (0-1) took the loss after giving up eight runs (six earned) on six hits over 3.1 innings of work.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6319">Tanner Lukowski</a>&nbsp;gave up just one unearned run in two innings of relief while striking out two. Kehe finished the game with three of FHSU's eight hits, going 3-for-5 with two runs and one RBI. Webb was 2-for-4 with one run while Schmidt led the way with two RBI.

FHSU was No. 23 in the D2SIDA Top 25 at that time.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6460">Kaleb Hammeke</a>&nbsp;scored 30 points for the Tigers in what was one of their three setbacks so far this season.

Hays and Dodge City met up for big Western Athletic Conference games in Dodge City on Friday night.

Girls Hays 42 - #8-6A Dodge City 40

Hays went to Dodge City looking for a signature after losing each of the six games they had played against state ranked teams. They found that win with a buzzer beating shot.

Dodge City jumped out to a 9-0 lead taking advantage of early turnovers by the Indians. Hays responded with a 7-0 run and had the ball three times down 9-7 but couldn't tie or take the lead. The Red Demons went on a 10-5 run to take 19-12 lead, but the Indians responded with an 8-0 to take their first lead at 22-21. The advantage was short lived as Dodge City took a 23-22 lead to the locker room.

The two teams swapped the lead four times in the third quarter leaving Dodge City with a 36-33 lead heading to the final eight minutes.&nbsp;

Dodge City took a 40-35 lead with 6:15 remaining in the game. They didn't score again. However, it looked as if Hays wouldn't take advantage still trailing by the same score with 1:20 left. Carly Lang hit a pair of free throws to close the gap down to 40-39. Dodge City missed a dagger three pointer setting up the Indians for a final opportunity, on that Aleyia Ruder put three the net at the buzzer for three points and a 42-40 win.

Per Dodge City play-by-play broadcaster Sean Boston, the win by Hays snaps a 21 game winning streak in the Dodge City High School Fieldhouse. Their last loss in that gym was 12/19/19.

Molly Martin scored 13. Ruder's buzzer beat ended her night with 11. Mataya Clark scored a career high 13 for Dodge City.

The Indians hit a career high seven three pointers.

Hays improves to 9-6 and is now in second play in the WAC at 3-2. #8-6A Dodge City falls to 13-3, 2-2. Hays is off for a week when they host Colby.

Boys #3-5A Hays 53 - #4-6A Dodge City 34

Hays used a 6-0 spurt in the first quarter to take their second lead at 10-5 and kept the advantage through a low scoring first half. Hays led 10-7 after one quarter and held Dodge City to just one point over the first five minutes of the second quarter.

By the time the dust settled in the second quarter Hays took a 24-12 lead into the locker room.

Hays did not score for the first 3:30 of the second half, but Dodge City made up only five points during that time closing the gap down to 24-17. The game was only that close one more time at 31-24 with 2:20 left in the third quarter.

The Hays' defense never let up in the fourth quarter keeping Dodge City from making a field goal for nearly four and a half minutes while building their lead to twelve once again.

Hays made seven of eight free throws over the final two minutes, all by Carson Kieffer, to grab a 53-34 victory.

Jace Linenberger led all scoring with 23. Carson Kieffer recorded a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Dodge City was led by Dawson Taylor with 11.

🏀🎥 WATCH LIVE Thomas More Prep-Marian vs Smith Center

WICHITA, Kan. – Fort Hays State never trailed in the second half, but had to hang on in a close battle with Newman University on Thursday evening (Feb. 3). The Tigers led by one at the half and had to hold off the Jets in the final minute for a 63-60 win. The victory gave head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1048">Mark Johnson</a>&nbsp;his 400th&nbsp;win in exactly 600 games coached at Fort Hays State. Newman came out of the gate hot by outscoring the Tigers 22-11 over the first nine and a half minutes of action. However, Fort Hays State started to get the stops it needed on defense and outscored Newman 18-6 for the remainder of the half to take a 29-28 lead into halftime. The Tigers closed on a 9-2 run over the final 6:51 of action in the first half.

The Tigers extended that late first-half run to 14-2 by scoring the first five points of the second half, but the Jets responded with a pair of 3-point field goals from Israel Barnes to tie the game 34-34. The Tigers took the lead back when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6472">Geoff Hamperian</a>&nbsp;put in a layup off a scramble play under the basket, and they led the remainder of the game even while enduring several jabs from Newman making runs at the advantage. The Tigers went up six but twice saw the Jets cut the lead down to one before the second media break of the half. Ian Lee hit a layup and was fouled with 9:19 to go and had the chance to tie the game out of a timeout, but missed the free throw.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6467">Quinten Rock</a>&nbsp;made the Jets pay by hitting two consecutive 3-point field goals to push the Tiger lead out to seven with 8:11 to play.

Newman kept chipping away, getting the lead back down to one on an Arne Morris 3-point field goal with 3:58 to play, but&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6464">Elijah Nnanabu</a>&nbsp;stopped the run by hitting a big pull up jumper at the left elbow to push the lead back to three. Newman cut the lead to one again, but Nnanabu responded again with a layup cutting to the hoop off a pass from&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6460">Kaleb Hammeke</a>. Again, Newman pulled within one, but&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6462">Bjarni Jonsson</a>&nbsp;hit two free throws to make it 56-53. Newman made a pair of free throws to get within one a fifth time, but then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6470">Nyjee Wright</a>&nbsp;came up clutch in his home town with a 3-point field goal to push the Tigers up by four with 1:16 to play. It was his first bucket of the game. The Tigers were able to get stops on Newman's next three possessions and then Wright sealed the win for FHSU with a pair of free throws. The teams traded a pair of free throws each from that point and then Barnes of Newman hit a desperation 3-point field goal at the buzzer from well beyond the arc to make the final margin just three in favor of the Tigers. By hitting that shot, this was the first game this season the Tigers gave up anywhere between 60-69 points. They had either allowed less than 60 or between 70-77 in all games this season. FHSU is allowing on average just 58.6 points per game, which ranks second best in the nation at this time. Hammeke led the Tiger scoring effort with 14 points, doing half of his damage at the free-throw line where he was 7-of-8.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6468">Jared Vitztum</a>&nbsp;had a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, his 10th&nbsp;double-double of the season. Nnanabu also reached double figures with 10 points. Hammeke finished with eight assists to lead the Tigers in that category as well.

WICHITA, Kan. – Fort Hays State never trailed in the second half, but had to hang on in a close battle with Newman University on Thursday evening (Feb. 3). The Tigers led by one at the half and had to hold off the Jets in the final minute for a 63-60 win. The victory gave head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1048">Mark Johnson</a>&nbsp;his 400th&nbsp;win in exactly 600 games coached at Fort Hays State. Newman came out of the gate hot by outscoring the Tigers 22-11 over the first nine and a half minutes of action. However, Fort Hays State started to get the stops it needed on defense and outscored Newman 18-6 for the remainder of the half to take a 29-28 lead into halftime. The Tigers closed on a 9-2 run over the final 6:51 of action in the first half.<div><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1209534220&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-814667509" title="Eagle Radio" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Eagle Radio</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-814667509/02-03-22-fhsu-coach-mark-johnson-interview" title="Mark Johnson Postgame at Newman (Feb 3, 2022)" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Mark Johnson Postgame at Newman (Feb 3, 2022)</a></div></div>The Tigers extended that late first-half run to 14-2 by scoring the first five points of the second half, but the Jets responded with a pair of 3-point field goals from Israel Barnes to tie the game 34-34. The Tigers took the lead back when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6472">Geoff Hamperian</a>&nbsp;put in a layup off a scramble play under the basket, and they led the remainder of the game even while enduring several jabs from Newman making runs at the advantage.

The teams traded a pair of free throws each from that point and then Barnes of Newman hit a desperation 3-point field goal at the buzzer from well beyond the arc to make the final margin just three in favor of the Tigers. By hitting that shot, this was the first game this season the Tigers gave up anywhere between 60-69 points. They had either allowed less than 60 or between 70-77 in all games this season. FHSU is allowing on average just 58.6 points per game, which ranks second best in the nation at this time.

🏀 Tigers hang on in Wichita, Johnson reaches 400 wins

WICHITA, Kan. - The No. 6 Fort Hays State women's basketball team outscored Newman 17-2 in the first quarter&nbsp;Thursday (Feb. 3) before going on to win by 49 on the road, 79-30. It was FHSU's largest margin of victory in an MIAA game and was the second-fewest points allowed against a Division II opponent during the&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1043">Tony Hobson</a>&nbsp;era (50-28 at Northeastern State, 2/28/15). The win was Hobson's 300th victory as a Tiger and the 713th win in his 30-year career as a collegiate head coach. The Tigers have averaged more than 21 wins per season during Hobson's 14-year tenure at Fort Hays State.

After Tigers (18-2, 12-2 MIAA) and Jets (2-20, 0-16 MIAA) traded buckets over the first 90 seconds, Fort Hays State held Newman scoreless for nearly 13 minutes while going on a 24-0 run to take an authoritative 26-2 lead midway through the second quarter. The Tigers hit 50 percent from the floor during the run while the FHSU defense forced 15 consecutive missed shots and nine Jet turnovers. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6443">Katie Wagner</a>&nbsp;scored the first six points of the game for the Tigers before&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6438">Olivia Hollenbeck</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6437">Jaden Hobbs</a>&nbsp;added six points each during the big run. Newman's two points in the first quarter were tied for the fewest allowed in a frame by the Tigers since they changed to quarters seven years ago.

The Jets finally got back on the board with a 3-pointer at the 5:53 point in the second quarter, but that would be the home team's final field goal of the first half. The Tigers went into the locker room with a 36-7 lead after limiting the Jets to just 8.7 percent shooting (2-of-23). It was the fewest points surrendered by the Tigers in a half during the Hobson era. Fort Hays State kept adding to the lead in the third quarter, hitting 52.9 percent from the floor (9-of-17) and 3-of-5 from behind the arc. The Tigers led by as many as 51 late in the fourth quarter, matching their largest lead of the season, before finishing off the 49-point win. Newman's 30 points are the fourth-fewest allowed in any game by the Tigers under Hobson. The Tigers finished the game shooting 45.6 percent (26-of-57) from the floor, their 13th game this year with a field goal percentage better than 45 percent. The FHSU defense held Newman to just 17.6 percent shooting (9-of-51), the fourth-lowest field-goal percentage allowed during the Hobson era and the lowest shooting percentage given up to a DII team. Ten different Tigers scored in the victory, including seven players with at least five points. Four were in double figures, including 14 from Hobbs thanks to four 3-pointers. Wagner added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists while&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6441">Jessie Sallach</a>&nbsp;was one rebound shy of a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds. Fort Hays State scored 27 points off 21 Newman turnovers, while the Jets did not record any points off turnovers. The Tigers outscored Newman in transition, 10-0, and in the paint, 34-12. The Tiger bench totaled 35 points in the victory, five more than the entire Jet squad. The long road trip continues Saturday (Feb. 5) when the Tigers face off with Central Oklahoma beginning at 1:30 p.m. in Edmond, Okla. The Bronchos are coming off a 10-point win over No. 22 Nebraska-Kearney, 56-46.&nbsp;&nbsp;

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Nijel Pack ran down a long in-bounds pass, then found open space at the top of the key to bury a game-winning 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left to give Kansas State a hard-fought 71-68 win over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night.

Markquis Nowell's 3-point attempt rimmed in and out with 12 seconds left, but Pack tied up the rebound and Kansas State retained possession.

Pack hit 4 of 7 3-point attempts and added three steals to lead the Wildcats (11-10, 3-6 Big 12). Smith was 5 of 6 from the line and finished with 19 points and eight rebounds. Nowell added 12 points.

🏈🎧 Chris Brown discusses the Tigers 2022 signing class

HAYS, Kan. - Winter storm Landon has caused the Fort Hays State baseball team to flip sites of this weekend's season-opening series against Colorado School of Mines. Initially scheduled to begin Friday in Golden, Colo., the Tigers will instead open the year inside historic Larks Park on Saturday (Feb. 5) at 1 p.m. The series will continue with a doubleheader on Sunday (Feb. 6) beginning at noon before the series finale begins at 1 p.m. on Monday (Feb. 7). Admission is free once again at Larks Park this season, while live video is also scheduled to be available all season. Fans can access games via&nbsp;<a href="https://themiaanetwork.com/fhsutigers/">The MIAA Network</a>&nbsp;for $10 for a day pass or $25 for a reoccurring monthly subscription. The Tigers are coming off an 11-26 record a year ago, while Mines turned in a 10-20 record during the shortened 2021 season. Opening his fourth season as head baseball coach at his alma mater, this is the second time that&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1023">Jerod Goodale</a>&nbsp;has faced off with his former team. The Tigers went 1-3 against the Orediggers two years ago in Hays in another series that changed sites due to winter weather. Fort Hays State returns 25 players from last season in addition to 15 new players on this year's roster. Included in that mix of newcomers is four transfers and 10 freshmen. Among the returners are a pair of All-MIAA honorees in&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6527">Jacob Ensz</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6327">Grant Schmidt</a>. Ensz was the top arm out of the Tiger bullpen all season, collecting six saves on the year, third-most in the conference and 14th-most in Division II. He struck out 31 batters in 30.1 innings of relief. Schmidt led the Tigers offensively in several statistical categories, including tallies of 11 home runs, 12 doubles, two triples, 43 hits, 37 runs, 29 RBI, 92 total bases, a .676 slugging percentage and a .408 on-base percentage. The Tigers were picked 10th in the 2022 MIAA Preseason Coaches Poll, while Mines was tied for fifth in the RMAC preseason poll. Mines returns 30 letterwinners, including All-RMAC pitcher Ben Schoneman. The teams were scheduled to play last season in Golden, but the series was canceled due to weather.

🏀 Home sweep for Hays over Scott City

AMES, Iowa (AP) — David McCormack and Dajuan Harris each scored 14 points, and No. 10 Kansas defeated No. 20 Iowa State 70-61 on Tuesday night.

McCormick made all seven of his shots and had 14 rebounds for the Jayhawks (18-3, 7-1 Big 12), who were without Ochai Agbaji. The Big 12′s leading scorer at 20.9 points per game, Agbaji didn’t play due to COVID-19 protocols.

Jalen Wilson scored all 13 of his points in the second half. Christian Braun also finished with 13.

“We learned a lot about our team today,” Braun said. “We learned a lot of guys can step up. Obviously, we lost a big scorer and a great player, but we knew we could get the win.”

Izaiah Brockington led Iowa State (16-6, 3-6) with 24 points.

Kansas again struggled with turnovers against the Cyclones. The Jayhawks committed 16 in a 62-61 win over the Cyclones on Jan. 11. They had 16 in the first 20 minutes on Tuesday.

Despite those struggles, Kansas built a 19-10 lead when Braun made a layup midway through the first half. Iowa State used an 8-0 run to trim the margin to 24-22 but trailed the Jayhawks 30-24 at the break.

“David shot the ball great,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “And Dajuan made some ridiculously hard layups. It was a good team win.”

A Wilson layup pushed the margin to 40-28 early in the second half. A McCormick jumper kept Kansas in control 56-44, with 6:34 remaining.

“I just kind of went into a free mentality, knowing coach put a lot of faith in me and my teammates put a lot of faith in me,” McCormick said. “I just made it an emphasis to dominate the game.”

Kansas shot 56% for the game, while holding Iowa State to 41%.

Kansas remains the only team with one loss in the Big 12 standings. The Jayhawks were hoping to bounce back from Saturday’s 80-62 trouncing by Kentucky. Iowa State was seeking a third straight win after losing four out of five during a midseason slump.

Kansas: Hosts defending Big 12 and national champion No. 8 Baylor in a key conference showdown Saturday.

Iowa State: At No. 23 Texas on Saturday, hoping to complete a season sweep of the Longhorns.

It was a good team win.”A Wilson layup pushed the margin to 40-28 early in the second half. A McCormick jumper kept Kansas in control 56-44, with 6:34 remaining.“I just kind of went into a free mentality, knowing coach put a lot of faith in me and my teammates put a lot of faith in me,” McCormick said. “I just made it an emphasis to dominate the game.”Kansas shot 56% for the game, while holding Iowa State to 41%.BIG PICTUREKansas remains the only team with one loss in the Big 12 standings.
