floor to start the game and they trailed 12-4 after the first quarter.

Trego took a 10-point lead to open the second quarter at
14-4. Down 10 TMP’s Jaci VonLintel scored five straight sparking a 12-1 run putting
TMP on top 16-15. Kassidi Yost’s three free throws gave TMP the lead with just
over three minutes left in the first half.

the first half and took a 22-16 lead into the halftime break.

Megan Hamel scored six of the first seven points of the second
half as TMP took a 23-22 lead.

quarter to take a 29-26 lead into the fourth quarter.

game at 29 to force overtime.

three-pointer while the Golden Eagles outscored TMP 10-3 on their way to a
39-32 win.

TMP dropped to 10-3 and 4-1 in the MCL. Trego is 11-3 and
5-1 in the MCL.

The TMP boys used a 15-3 first-half run to build a
double-digit lead and then held off a late Trego rally on their way to a 51-42
win Tuesday.

TMP jumped out to a 18-9 first quarter lead. Jackson Schulte
and Dylan Werth combined to score 16 first quarter points for TMP and Kade
Harris’ buzzer beating layup gave TMP the nine-point lead.

The Monarchs built their largest lead of the game at 12, 21-9
to open the second quarter.

Trego outscored the Monarchs 12-3 the rest of the way in the
first half, as the Monarchs struggled with foul trouble, cutting TMP’s lead to
24-21 at halftime.

Trego cut the deficit to one at 24-23 to open the second half
before Lucas Lang hit his second straight three pointer putting TMP back on top
by three at 27-23. Werth scored four in-a-row and Harris added a jumper before Schulte
scored five straight helping TMP lead by nine at 38-29. 

The Monarchs led 38-33 through three quarters.

In the fourth quarter Trego briefly closed within four at
42-38 but the Monarchs made just enough free throws in the final minutes on
their way to the 51-42 win.

🏀TMP splits MCL doubleheader with Trego

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Christian Braun’s big game for Kansas against Kansas State last season was overshadowed by an ugly game-ending melee.

The Jayhawks were able to enjoy his sequel a little more.

Braun hit four 3-pointers and scored 18 points, half of them during an 18-3 charge midway through the second half, and the 23rd-ranked Jayhawks finally started to show some offensive moxie Tuesday night in a 74-51 victory over the Wildcats.

“Always feels good to beat Kansas State,” said Braun, who grew up in Burlington, Kansas. “This one was a little different this year. We’re trying to get things turned around, trying to get going on the right track. Feels good to get a win.”

David McCormack also had 18 points and Ochai Agbaji added 15 for the Jayhawks (12-6, 6-4 Big 12), who dropped four of their previous five games, including a blowout loss at No. 11 Tennessee over the weekend.

“I thought we got good shots. I didn’t think we shot it well — I thought we took some quick ones — but I thought we moved the ball pretty well,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Defensively, we tried hard for the most part. I thought we rebounded OK. It was much better and we still didn’t make shots, but it was still much better.”

Kansas improved to 200-94 against the Wildcats (5-14, 1-9), the most wins by any Division I school over another in men’s college hoops. The Jayhawks have won 15 consecutive games against their longtime rivals in Allen Fieldhouse.

Mike McGuirl scored 10 points for Kansas State, but was just 3 of 10 from the field and 1 for 6 from beyond the arc. Nijel Pack followed his 26-point outburst against Texas A&amp;M with 10, and committed four turnovers in his Phog debut.

The result was the Wildcats’ ninth consecutive loss dating to Dec. 29. All but two have been by double figures.

“Every team struggles,” Pack said. “I mean, we’re just going through that slump right now. We just have to put in more work. That’s the only thing you can do. You can’t control the uncontrollables. We just have to put in the work.”

Neither team was particularly pretty on offense in the first half. At least Kansas played a little defense.

The Jayhawks forced the scoring-challenged Wildcats into seven first-half turnovers, held them to just 2 of 9 from behind the 3-point line and forced Kansas State into more airballs (three) than they managed second-chance points (two).

“We’re not putting points up on the board,” McGuirl said. “Our offense is not what it needs to be.”

The result was a 33-25 halftime margin that felt like twice that much.

It didn’t take long before it WAS that much.

Kansas held the Wildcats without a field goal for the first 5 minutes of the second half, then again for another 5-minute stretch. Those long slumps allowed the Jayhawks to put together one of their all-too-familiar runs, an 18-3 scoring binge midway through the second half that resulted in a 56-32 lead with 10 minutes to go.

Braun was the catalyst with back-to-back 3-pointers, but McCormack and Agbaji added dunks and Mitch Lightfoot made a couple of free throws as the Jayhawks’ offense got in sync — at least for a stretch — for the first time in weeks.

“It’s definitely encouraging,” McCormack said. “A positivity booster. Gets us in the flow of the game, gets people touches they need to get back in their groove. It’s a game to get our feet wet, to get back to how we know how to do things.”

Kansas State finished with 13 turnovers, went 5 of 21 from 3-point range and couldn’t keep the bigger Jayhawks off the glass at either end of the floor. Sure, the Wildcats are starting three freshman and play a fourth off the bench, but the growing pains have been painfully obvious for coach Bruce Weber since the new year began.

Kansas only committed six turnovers and three of them came from Marcus Garrett, their primary ballhandler, who only played 24 minutes. That’s a good sign the Jayhawks are starting to execute better on the offensive end. The 74 points were their most since a 93-64 win over TCU on Jan. 6.

Kansas State heads home to play No. 13 Texas Tech on Saturday. Kansas visits West Virginia the same afternoon.

LAWRENCE, Kan. –&nbsp;Kansas football head coach Les Miles was pursuing a veteran offensive coordinator with a proven track record in the NFL and Power 5 ranks. Tuesday, he found his man in Mike DeBord. A former Division I head coach with three-plus decades of coaching experience at the collegiate and professional levels, DeBord has coached more than 50 players who went on to play in the NFL, was the offensive coordinator for a National Championship winning team, and has appeared in 16 bowl games.&nbsp;

DeBord spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Fort Hays State, serving as the Tigers offensive line coach in 1984 then served as Offensive Coordinator in 1985 and 1986 while being in charge of the quarterbacks and wide receivers. “This is a great day for Kansas football,” Miles said. “We are adding a coach with a wealth of experience in Mike. He has squared off with just about every defensive scheme in the book, and has worked within and led several offensive systems. In addition to the qualities he brings as a football coach, he is a man of high character, and will be an outstanding addition to our program as we continue to instill the culture we want in place.&nbsp; Miles continued: “I have had the honor of working alongside Mike before, as have some of the best coaches in college football and the NFL. He makes his fellow coaches better, and will have an instant impact on the Jayhawks.” DeBord has served previously as the offensive coordinator at Michigan (1997-99, 2006-07), Tennessee (2015-16) and Indiana (2017-18), while also serving as Central Michigan’s head coach from 2000 to 2003. He was also an assistant in the NFL with the Chicago Bears (2010-12) and the Seattle Seahawks (2008-09).

I love coordinating offenses and helping the players become better individually, and as a unit to help us win. That will be done with the great help of the offensive coaches, and the buy-in and hard work by the student-athletes.&nbsp; “I can’t wait to get started.” In his nine years as an FBS offensive coordinator, DeBord’s teams have a proven track record of winning. He amassed an 80-33 record overall and a 47-27 record in conference games during his time as a coordinator. In addition, he helped guide Michigan to the 1997 National Championship. He has also coached five future NFL quarterbacks as an offensive coordinator, including Tom Brady, Chad Henne, Brian Griese and Drew Henson at Michigan and Joshua Dobbs at Tennessee.&nbsp; During his two years at Indiana in 2017 and 2018, DeBord helped set the stage for the Hoosiers to become one of the top teams in the country this past season. In his first year in Bloomington, Indiana averaged 395.8 yards per game, while scoring 26.8 points per contest.

Ramsey threw for 2,875 yards and 19 touchdowns, while DeBord oversaw running back Stevie Scott produce a 1,000-yard rushing season, collecting 1,137 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. At Tennessee, DeBord’s 2016 squad was one of four teams in the conference to end the year in the top half of the SEC in scoring, passing, rushing and total offense. The Volunteers ranked 24th&nbsp;nationally with 36.4 points per game. Dobbs finished the season with 15 touchdown passes and 10 rushing touchdowns, becoming just the third quarterback in the conference’s history to do that.&nbsp; Also that season, the Volunteers scored 473 points and 63 touchdowns – both school records –while totaling 5,768 yards of total offense, which is the second-most in program history.&nbsp; In 2015, Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd rushed for 1,288 yards, and the team finished with 2,908 rushing yards, marking the second-highest total in program history. Hurd was selected in the 3rd&nbsp;round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

DeBord led a balanced offensive attack with Griese as the starter, averaging 201.2 passing yards per game and 187.3 rushing yards a contest.

LAWRENCE, Kan. –&nbsp;Kansas football head coach Les Miles was pursuing a veteran offensive coordinator with a proven track record in the NFL and Power 5 ranks. Tuesday, he found his man in Mike DeBord. A former Division I head coach with three-plus decades of coaching experience at the collegiate and professional levels, DeBord has coached more than 50 players who went on to play in the NFL, was the offensive coordinator for a National Championship winning team, and has appeared in 16 bowl games.&nbsp;DeBord spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Fort Hays State, serving as the Tigers offensive line coach in 1984 then served as Offensive Coordinator in 1985 and 1986 while being in charge of the quarterbacks and wide receivers. “This is a great day for Kansas football,” Miles said. “We are adding a coach with a wealth of experience in Mike. He has squared off with just about every defensive scheme in the book, and has worked within and led several offensive systems. In addition to the qualities he brings as a football coach, he is a man of high character, and will be an outstanding addition to our program as we continue to instill the culture we want in place.&nbsp; Miles continued: “I have had the honor of working alongside Mike before, as have some of the best coaches in college football and the NFL. He makes his fellow coaches better, and will have an instant impact on the Jayhawks.” DeBord has served previously as the offensive coordinator at Michigan (1997-99, 2006-07), Tennessee (2015-16) and Indiana (2017-18), while also serving as Central Michigan’s head coach from 2000 to 2003.

🤼Hoxie claims MCL tournament title

HAYS - Jordan Pumphrey hit seven threes and the Tigers shot 50-percent from beyond the arc and beat Nebraska-Kearney 79-68 Saturday at Gross Coliseum.

Pumphrey went 7-for-9 from beyond the arc and 9-of-11 overall and scored a career-high 25 points. The junior college transfer from Bakersfield, Calif, is the first Tiger to make seven 3-pointers in a game since Aaron Nicholson had seven&nbsp;against Emporia State on January 16, 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After missing their first five attempts from beyond the arc, FHSU (5-8, 5-8 MIAA) went 13-for-21 the rest of the game.

The Tigers trailed by six with a little less than eight minutes to play in the first half, but a 7-0 run, capped by a Quinten Rock basket, gave the Tigers their first lead at 24-23. A Jared Vitztum three late in the half put them up 35-33 at halftime. 

Vitztum finished with 22 points and a team-high six rebounds.

FHSU built the lead to six five minutes into the second half but UNK scored the next nine to take a 49-46 lead. It would be their last of the game.

The Tigers hit eight of their next nine shots including 4-for-5 from beyond the arc over the next seven minutes, outscoring the Lopers 25-7 to build a 15-point lead.
